A fixed Lingual Retainer is a dental appliance that is used to hold the teeth in position and prevent them from moving back to their original positions after orthodontic treatment. These retainers are an important part of the orthodontic process and, along with removable retainers, provide extra protection against tooth movement. Fixed retainers help to maintain the desired alignment of the teeth following orthodontic treatment.

Spring Hawley Retainer
Spring Hawley Retainers are made with a wire spring in the center that allows them to apply pressure to the teeth while being worn. This makes spring retainers effective for both correcting tooth crowding and maintaining the proper spacing of teeth after orthodontic treatment.
Standard Begg Retainer
Standard Begg Retainers are used when final adjustments to the bite and position of the teeth are necessary.
TPA
A lingual arch space maintainer or TPA is a dental appliance that is placed around the molars to prevent them from moving forward and blocking the space for permanent teeth that are yet to come in.
