style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a tailored oral appliance that fits perfectly over your teeth. It is worn after braces and is intended to uphold teeth alignment and preserve them from sliding back post-braces. In addition, they are crucial in safeguarding the tooth orientation by providing essential support to the jaw as well as adjacent tissues, thus maintaining the bite&#8217;s stability and alignment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Role_Do_Retainers_Play_After_Braces\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Role Do Retainers Play After
