Custom wire retainer after braces to keep teeth straight
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial is for people who have just finished braces. It tests a new custom-made wire (retainer) that is glued to the inside of your lower front teeth to keep them straight. The wire is made with advanced technology for a better fit and comfort.
