Retainers such as bonded lingual retainers are known for aligning misaligned teeth with an inner surface attached to its surface with dental cement. These retainers help prevent the teeth from shifting and correct an individuals’ bite and smile. The only thing to keep in mind is that these retainers can not be removed without professional help. They are customizable, removable and made up of acrylic and metal wires. When you wear them, they might get noticed in the first look but you can remove them when you want to eat or brush your teeth.
