Retainers and Palatal Expansion Appliances
At Revive Dental Clinic, we offer retainers and palatal expansion appliances to help maintain the results of orthodontic treatments and improve jaw alignment. These devices are vital in ensuring the long-term success of orthodontic care and promoting a healthy, functional bite.
After completing orthodontic treatment, retainers are used to keep teeth in their new positions and prevent them from shifting back. Palatal expansion appliances, on the other hand, are designed to widen the upper jaw, improving bite alignment and providing more space for teeth. Both devices play a significant role in achieving a beautifully aligned smile that lasts.

How Retainers and Palatal Expansion Appliances Work
Retainers are typically worn after braces are removed to prevent teeth from drifting back into their original positions. They can be fixed or removable, depending on the patient’s needs. Palatal expanders are designed to widen the upper jaw, creating more space for teeth and correcting bite misalignments. Both devices are comfortable and effective for ensuring a long-lasting, healthy smile.
