Bleaching Retainer
Bleaching retainers are a NEW product from S4S, they are essentially the same as Clear and Invisible retainers for post treatment orthodontic retainers, with the addition of reservoirs to hold Tooth Whitening Gel (Bleaching Gel). The pressure formed custom made retainer is designed to hold the teeth in their final position after fixed orthodontic brackets and archwires have been removed whilst bleaching the teeth. A Bleaching retainer is made by having impressions taken by a dentist and the laboratory will vacuum or pressure form them using a EVA, PVC or similar material. The teeth not only are held in thier position but can be beautifully whitened too.
Rationale
- Post Orthodontic Treatment Retention
- Minor tooth movements can be achieved for final treatment adjustments
- Teeth Can be bleached at the same time
Construction requirements
- Upper and lower impression in alginate
