Wire retainer

Our composite FLR is a bonded wire retainer with a composite pad on each tooth, made so you can deliver it the day the braces come off.

Retainers

Composite Fixed Lingual Retainers

We make FLRs from PVS impressions, stone models or digital scans, so the retainer is ready when you debond. Composite pads on each tooth are our standard. Choose round .028, braided .016 x .022 or solid stainless .016 x .022 wire, placed central to central, lateral to lateral or cuspid to cuspid.
