Description:
Retention is an important concept in orthodontics to maintain tooth position after orthodontic treatment. The orthodontist might choose between different types of retainers such as a Hawley retainer, an Essex retainer, a permanent retainer and more.
Ultra Flex retainer is a type of a permanent lingual retainer made of a braided wire that does not need to be bent or shaped to accommodate the anatomy of the lingual surface. This will save the clinician the time to take an impression and shape the permanent retainer on the mold to accommodate the lingual arch curvature.
Ultra Flex is made by IOS (14-515-102) from a special medical-grade stainless wire. It will not rust or break if applied correctly.
The benefits of Ultra Flex for retention:
- Excellent choice for retaining orthodontic corrections and preventing rotational relapses
- Improved patient comfort as it lays flat against the bonded teeth
- Excellent torsional strength as well as tensile strength
- Cut laboratory costs by direct bonding the retainer (REF)
- Less chair time for the doctor
- will not interfere with MRI readings
