Clear Plastic Retainers

Clean plastic containers can be made with plastic or polyurethane. These are called vacuum form retainers or VFRs because a device creates a holding material on a model of a vacuum patient's teeth.

Many people prefer VFR mainly because it is invisible. You don't have to worry about noticing you're wearing a retainer. 

VFRs are thinner than other types of renters and can be a more comfortable option. Since they fit and keep your teeth perfectly covered, your teeth stay in exactly the same place. If there is a transfer, you can wear your VFR to fix it.

VFRs are easy to remove when you have to eat or brush your teeth. This retainer prevents people from wearing down their teeth due to grinding.

Even if you have to pull one, it can fill a missing tooth. A replacement tooth can be attached to the retainer and will fit perfectly in your mouth.

VFRs are convenient because you can order multiple sets if you damage or lose your Retainer. These are more affordable than other types of Retainers.

Disadvantages

The teeth are completely covered so they remain in their proper place. However, some patients may be disturbed by this coverage. VFRs may not be heavy, but they completely cover the teeth.

Your top and bottom teeth are not actually found when you wear this retainer. There are orthodontists who believe that your teeth should get together to promote settling in their places. Some professionals feel that VFR should be worn only when the patient sleeps.

Every time you drink anything other than water you have to remove your VFR. You should especially avoid fizzy drinks. Teeth will decay when drinking with your retainer.

Hawley Retainers

"what is a Hawley Retainer" The best-known retainer is the Hawley Retainer which consists of a metal wire that typically surrounds the six anterior teeth and keeps them in place. Also called wire retainers made of thin metal wire and plastic or acrylic shaped to fit the roof of your mouth or along the inside of your lower teeth. The attached metal wire runs across the outside of your teeth to maintain alignment.

Disadvantages:

1. It affects your speech more than other retainers.

2. The wire may irritate your lip or cheeks initially.

3. It's more noticeable than the other types of Retainers.

Fixed Retainers

In some cases, patients may be candidates for a Fixed Retainer. The difference is that a Fixed retainer is physically affixed to the teeth. It has the advantage of being easy in a sense because it does not require frequent in and out to eat. In addition, they are generally small and are quite well adapted. The downsides are being told that they may require little maintenance over time if they become rough; In addition, they can make cleaning teeth more difficult.

Disadvantages:

1. Fixed retainers will break if you eat foods that are very hard. They’re the most expensive to buy and replace.

2. They’re not easy to clean like removable retainers because you can’t take them out of your mouth. You have to use floss threaders to move the floss between your teeth and the retainer.

3. If you don’t practice proper oral hygiene with this retainer, plaque and tartar will build up and destroy your teeth. You’re also prone to gingivitis and gum disease.

4. Any of the teeth not bonded to the retainer can shift to their original place. This won’t be a large problem for people who had mild misalignment or only had braces for certain teeth.

5. The metal wire can irritate your tongue. The reinforced fiber wire tends to break.

6. Someone with an overbite may not be able to get a fixed retainer behind their upper teeth. The lower teeth will hit the bonded retainer, which will damage both the retainer and the lower teeth.
