They are not noticeable because they are behind the teeth and only on the front teeth. It is a very durable retention and usually lasts for years without needing to be renewed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If you have had periodontal disease (loss of bone around the teeth) and your teeth are very mobile, we will also use this type of retention to join them together and distribute the chewing forces, preventing spaces from opening up again.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-51249 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"382\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" data-src=\"https:\/\/clinicakaizen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/retenedores-invisibles-1024x382.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/clinicakaizen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/retenedores-invisibles-1024x382.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/clinicakaizen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/retenedores-invisibles-980x365.jpg 980w, https:\/\/clinicakaizen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/retenedores-invisibles-480x179.jpg 480w\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This type of fixed retention is most commonly used in the lower arch and in the upper arch?
