It commonly involves wearing a retainer or having a fixed (bonded) retainer placed behind the teeth. The plain goal is \u201cholding the result\u201d while the mouth adjusts to the new tooth positions. It is widely used in orthodontics and can be tailored to the tooth movements and bite changes achieved."}
