Lower 3-3 Bonded

Lower 3 to 3 bonded retainers are typically recommended in cases where there has been orthodontic treatment involving the lower front teeth.


Benefits

Permanent retention: Lower 3 to 3 bonding provides a permanent solution for maintaining the alignment of the lower front teeth. The bonded retainer is attached to the lingual (back) surfaces of the teeth, ensuring long-term stability and preventing relapse.

Minimal visibility: The bonded retainer is placed on the lingual side of the lower front teeth, making it virtually invisible when you smile or speak. This allows for an aesthetically pleasing result without the need for a visible removable retainer.

Convenience: Unlike removable retainers that need to be taken in and out, lower 3 to 3 bonding requires no daily maintenance. Once the bonded retainer is placed, you don’t have to worry about remembering to wear or remove it, providing a convenient and hassle-free option for retention.

Enhanced oral hygiene: The bonded retainer allows for easy access to clean the front surfaces of the lower teeth, promoting good oral hygiene. Unlike removable retainers that may hinder proper brushing and flossing, the bonded retainer does not interfere with regular oral care routines.

Comfort: Lower 3 to 3 bonding is generally well-tolerated and comfortable to wear. The retainer is custom-made to fit the specific contours of your teeth, ensuring a comfortable fit and minimizing any discomfort or irritation.

Prevents tooth shifting: The bonded retainer serves as a barrier, preventing the lower front teeth from shifting or rotating. It helps maintain the alignment achieved through orthodontic treatment, ensuring that your smile remains straight and properly aligned over time.

Recommended Use

Corrected crowding or spacing: If the lower front teeth were crowded or had gaps between them before orthodontic treatment, lower 3 to 3 bonded retainers can help maintain the corrected alignment and prevent the teeth from shifting back to their original positions.

Rotated or misaligned teeth: Lower 3 to 3 bonded retainers can help retain the corrected alignment of rotated or misaligned lower front teeth. They provide a stable and secure support to prevent the teeth from rotating or shifting.

Overbite or overjet correction: In cases where orthodontic treatment has corrected an overbite or overjet, lower 3 to 3 bonded retainers can help maintain the improved bite relationship. They help prevent the lower front teeth from relapsing into their original positions and contributing to a relapse of the bite discrepancy.

Stability after jaw surgery: In some cases, lower 3 to 3 bonded retainers may be recommended after orthognathic (jaw) surgery. The retainers help stabilize the corrected bite relationship and prevent any post-surgical changes in the lower front teeth.
