🦷 隱形牙箍之後嘅保持器（固定器）介紹：
各位朋友做完隱形牙箍之後，其實仲有一個好重要嘅步驟，就係戴保持器（又叫固定器）。咁究竟點解要用呢？有咩要注意嘅地方？等我哋逐樣講清楚。
🤔 點解要用保持器？
牙齒矯正之後，啲牙齒其實會有「回彈」嘅傾向，即係會慢慢郁返去原來嘅位置。所以戴保持器嘅作用就係：
- 固定牙齒嘅新位置，防止佢反彈。
- 等牙槽骨、牙齦適應同穩定新嘅牙齒位置。
如果冇認真戴保持器，隨時之前嘅努力同金錢都會白費㗎！
👍 好處係咩？
- 幫你長期維持靚靚嘅牙齒排列。
- 防止牙齒移位，令整齊效果持久。
- 保持笑容美觀、自信。
👎 壞處又有冇？
- 初時可能覺得有啲唔習慣，講嘢可能會有少少唔方便。
- 需要持續佩戴一段時間，係一項需要耐性嘅工作。
- 保持器如果唔好好清潔，可能容易積住細菌，引致牙齦發炎或口氣問題。
不過只要適應咗同做好日常護理，呢啲弊端都係好輕微嘅啫。
🧽 日常點樣維護保持器？
保持器乾淨衛生係好重要㗎，以下幾點要注意：
- 每日徹底清潔：用軟毛牙刷同清水輕輕刷洗保持器，避免牙膏磨損保持器嘅表面。
- 定期浸泡清潔：可以每星期用專用嘅假牙或保持器清潔片浸泡消毒，保持衛生。
- 避免高溫損壞：千祈唔可以用熱水浸或吹風筒吹，因為保持器材質受熱會變形。
- 存放妥當：唔戴嗰陣一定要放喺乾淨嘅保持盒入面，避免跌爛或者唔見咗。
記住，成功嘅矯正，關鍵就係堅持戴保持器，千祈唔好鬆懈呀！😁
🦷 Retainers after Clear Aligner Treatment: An Introduction
Dear friends, after completing clear aligner orthodontic treatment, there’s one very important final step—wearing retainers. Why exactly do you need them? What are the advantages and disadvantages? How do you maintain them properly? Let’s explore each point clearly.
🤔 Why Do You Need a Retainer?
After orthodontic treatment, your teeth naturally tend to shift back (“relapse”) toward their original positions. Therefore, the purposes of wearing retainers are:
- To stabilize teeth in their new positions and prevent them from moving back.
- To allow time for the alveolar bone and gum tissues to adapt and stabilize around the new tooth positions.
If retainers are not worn as instructed, all your previous efforts and investments may go to waste.
👍 What Are the Benefits?
- Helps maintain your beautifully aligned teeth over the long term.
- Prevents unwanted tooth movement, making your orthodontic results last.
- Keeps your smile attractive and boosts your confidence.
👎 What Are the Downsides?
- Initially, retainers might feel slightly uncomfortable and could affect speech temporarily.
- Consistent long-term wear requires patience and discipline.
- Poor cleaning habits can lead to bacterial buildup, causing gum inflammation or bad breath.
However, with proper adjustment and diligent care, these downsides are minimal.
