A Lingual Retainer is a custom-made fixed orthodontic appliance bonded to the lingual surfaces of the anterior teeth to help maintain tooth alignment after orthodontic treatment. It provides long-term retention by preventing unwanted tooth movement while remaining virtually invisible during normal daily activities.
At Times Dental Lab, every Lingual Retainer is precisely fabricated using high-quality orthodontic wire to ensure an accurate fit, reliable bonding, and long-term stability.
