Do not use clipboards or stabilizers
The most common reason a patient experiences failure of orthodontic treatment is to stop using the retainers provided by the orthodontist. After the brackets are removed, the teeth, along with the surrounding bone and gums, need time to settle into their new positions. This is why it is so important that you use a retainer to prevent orthodontic treatment failure.
The presence of retainers is essential to protect the teeth from forces that want to move them closer to their previous positions. In fact, to maintain the success of orthodontic treatment, retainers are a lifelong commitment and can play an effective role in maintaining the position of the teeth.
