According to the French Society of Dentofacial Orthopedics, combining the two remains the most recommended method for ensuring long-term results. A personalized assessment requires a clinical consultation and a thorough examination in the dental office.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>This article is part of a series of articles dedicated to orthodontics in Divonne-les-Bains.

If you wish to ask a direct question to the office, the <a href=\"https:\/\/nicolasbarriere.fr\/en\/contact\/\">contact page<\/a> remains at your disposal.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"section-1\">Why is the retention phase essential after treatment?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>The retention phase is essential because the teeth retain a lasting ligamentous memory which tends to make them return to their initial position.<\/strong> Without a stabilization device, the risk of relapse is significant in the months following the removal of the appliance. The best practice guidelines of the French Society of Dentofacial Orthopedics, published in May 2023, establish retention as an integral part of orthodontic treatment.<\/p>\n<div class=\"iaba-def\" id=\"definition-contention\"><dfn>Restraint<\/dfn> Orthodontic retention refers to all devices, fixed or removable, designed to maintain teeth in their new position after the end of active treatment, in order to prevent relapse.<\/div>\n<p>The periodontal fibers and soft tissues (tongue, lips, cheeks) exert continuous forces on the displaced teeth. For several months, sometimes several years, these structures &quot;remember&quot; the former position. The retainer acts as a mechanical safeguard, allowing the bone and ligaments time to reorganize around the achieved alignment.<\/p>\n<div class=\"iaba-statband\">\n<div class=\"iaba-statband-item\"><span class=\"iaba-statband-num\" data-count=\"70\" data-suffix=\" %\">70 %<\/span><span class=\"iaba-statband-label\">Relapses occur within the first 2 years without restraint (SFODF literature)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"iaba-statband-item\"><span class=\"iaba-statband-num\" data-count=\"10\" data-suffix=\" ans\">10 years<\/span><span class=\"iaba-statband-label\">Minimum recommended distance for discussing stability<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"iaba-statband-item\"><span class=\"iaba-statband-num\" data-count=\"2\" data-suffix=\" dispositifs\">2 devices<\/span><span class=\"iaba-statband-label\">Commonly combined: fixed wire + night guard<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"iaba-callout\" data-variant=\"warning\">\n<p><strong>Health alert point:<\/strong> Discontinuing the use of a retainer, even after several years, can lead to gradual tooth shifting. A night retainer generally does not cause pain if it is properly fitted. Any persistent discomfort warrants a consultation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>In clinical practice, patients who adhere to the retention protocol maintain their alignment over very long periods. Conversely, those who discontinue treatment prematurely frequently require further consultation for anterior relapse, a phenomenon well-documented in the orthodontic literature.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"iaba-quote\">\n<p>\u00ab&quot;Retention is not a decorative option at the end of treatment. It is a fully-fledged clinical step, as important as the active phase, because it is what transforms a result into a lasting one.&quot;\u00bb<\/p>\n<footer><cite>Nicolas Barri\u00e8re, Orthodontist, Qualified Specialist in Dentofacial Orthopedics, founder of the practice<\/cite><\/footer>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2 id=\"section-2\">What is fixed restraint and in what cases is it indicated?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Fixed retention is a thin metal wire, often twisted, glued to the lingual (inner) surface of the front teeth, usually from canine to canine.<\/strong> It is completely invisible and acts continuously, without any intervention from the patient. It is particularly indicated in cases with a high risk of recurrence in the anterior sector.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"section-2-1\">How the lingual wire works<\/h3>\n<p>The wire is bonded tooth by tooth using a bonding composite, in a lingual-cervical position that does not interfere with occlusion. Its very thin cross-section makes it imperceptible to the tongue after a few days. Once in place, it stabilizes the teeth impacted by the bond and acts as a mechanical lock in the anterior region.<\/p>\n<div class=\"iaba-proscons\">\n<div class=\"iaba-pros\">\n<h4>Advantages of fixed restraint<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Invisible, no aesthetic impact<\/li>\n<li>Total passivity: nothing to think about on a daily basis<\/li>\n<li>Permanent protection of the anterior sector<\/li>\n<li>No risk of forgetting or losing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"iaba-cons\">\n<h4>Limits and vigilance<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Thorough brushing is necessary (sublingual area).<\/li>\n<li>The use of dental floss or interdental brushes is mandatory.<\/li>\n<li>Risk of partial detachment (composite coming loose)<\/li>\n<li>Regular check-ups recommended<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3 id=\"section-2-2\">Does the restraint wire pose a danger?<\/h3>\n<p><strong>The retention wire does not present any danger when it is placed according to best practices and monitored regularly.<\/strong> Risky situations, sometimes grouped under the term &quot;wire syndrome,&quot; are rare and involve an undetected partial detachment that allows one tooth to move while the others remain impacted. This is why regular checkups are essential.<\/p>\n<div class=\"iaba-callout\" data-variant=\"info\">\n<p><strong>Namely:<\/strong> If you experience unusual roughness with your tongue, a pricking sensation from the wire, or a tooth that moves differently, make an appointment quickly.

This nighttime phase is maintained over the very long term, often for life, with one use every night followed by less frequent use after several years of confirmed stability.<\/p>\n<div class=\"iaba-tabs\">\n<div class=\"iaba-tabs-nav\">\n<button type=\"button\" class=\"iaba-tab-btn iaba-active\">0 to 6 months<\/button><br \/>\n<button type=\"button\" class=\"iaba-tab-btn\">6 months to 2 years<\/button><br \/>\n<button type=\"button\" class=\"iaba-tab-btn\">Beyond 2 years<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"iaba-tab-panel iaba-active\">\n<p>Systematic nighttime wear, every night. This is the most critical period for stability: the periodontal tissues are actively reorganizing around the new position.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"iaba-tab-panel\">\n<p>Nighttime use is maintained, with an annual clinical check-up recommended. The fit of the splint is checked and its replacement considered if necessary.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"iaba-tab-panel\">\n<p>Nighttime wear can be spaced out depending on the individual (2 to 3 nights per week), always with orthodontic advice. Lax wear increases the risk of relapse, even late relapse.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3 id=\"section-3-2\">Daily maintenance<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"iaba-checklist\">\n<li>Rinse with cold water after each use<\/li>\n<li>Gentle brushing with a soft brush and neutral soap (no abrasive toothpaste)<\/li>\n<li>Occasional soaking in a specific cleansing bath<\/li>\n<li>Store in a ventilated case, away from heat<\/li>\n<li>Periodic replacement according to observed wear and tear<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"iaba-callout\" data-variant=\"warning\">\n<p><strong>Health alert point:<\/strong> Never expose the aligner to hot water (this will deform the thermoplastic) or clean it with an abrasive product. A deformed aligner no longer holds the teeth properly and can, conversely, create unwanted pressure.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"section-4\">Fixed retention or night guard: should you choose one or combine the two?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>The current clinical trend, confirmed by the SFODF 2023 recommendations, is to consider the two devices as complementary rather than competitive.<\/strong> The fixed wire secures the anterior sectors (from canine to canine), while the night guard holds the entire arch, including the premolars and molars which remain exposed to relapse.<\/p>\n<p>In summary, fixed retention covers the anterior sector from canine to canine, remains invisible when lingually positioned, and acts passively without risk of forgetting. The main precautions are to avoid undetected detachment and ensure thorough brushing. Night retainers, on the other hand, cover the entire arch, are worn at night, and depend on patient compliance, requiring daily cleaning and periodic replacement as needed. The choice between these devices rests with the practitioner&#039;s clinical diagnosis.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"section-4-1\">The association, a double security<\/h3>\n<p>Applying a night guard over a fixed retainer wire provides dual clinical security. The wire continuously locks the anterior area; the guard protects the posterior sectors and takes over if the wire were to detach without immediate notice. This dual approach is particularly relevant in complex cases or in adult patients with more limited intrinsic stability.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"section-4-2\">A personalized choice in consultation<\/h3>\n<p>No universal rule applies to all patients. The choice depends on the type of malocclusion being treated, the patient&#039;s age, periodontal condition, hygiene habits, lifestyle, and motivation. A personalized recommendation requires a clinical consultation and a thorough examination.<\/p>\n<div class=\"iaba-cta\">\n<h3>Discuss your restraint during a consultation<\/h3>\n<p>Dr. Nicolas Barri\u00e8re&#039;s practice in Divonne-les-Bains supports the restraint phase for French and Swiss border patients, in compliance with the ethical framework.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nicolasbarriere.fr\/en\/contact\/\">Contact the firm \u2192<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"section-5\">What is the role of restraint in a specific clinical case?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Retention is part of the continuity of active treatment and its protocol is decided on a case-by-case basis, depending on the initial malocclusion and the result obtained.<\/strong> Consider the example of an adult patient treated for mandibular anterior crowding: the lower incisor area is statistically the most unstable.

In France, fees are regulated for the portion reimbursed by the national health insurance for those under 16. A personalized quote is always provided during the consultation before any fitting, once the clinical examination has been completed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"iaba-faq-item\">\n<summary>How long should a retainer be worn at night?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"iaba-faq-a\">\n<p>The retainer is worn at night for a very long time, often considered &quot;lifelong&quot; to ensure the desired result. For the first 6 to 12 months, it must be worn every night. After that, the frequency can be reduced with orthodontic advice, but stopping completely can lead to relapse, even several years after the end of treatment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"iaba-faq-item\">\n<summary>Does the health insurance cover orthodontic retention?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"iaba-faq-a\">\n<p>Health insurance covers compression garments up to a fixed annual amount for a maximum of two years for those under 16. Beyond this age limit, and for adults, reimbursement is entirely the responsibility of supplemental health insurance. Contracts vary considerably: it is advisable to request a quote from the clinic to send to your insurance provider before fitting.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"iaba-faq-item\">\n<summary>How much does an orthodontic retention splint cost?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"iaba-faq-a\">\n<p>The cost of a retainer depends on the clinical diagnosis, the manufacturing technique (digital or physical impression), the material, and the dental arch involved. A detailed estimate is provided before fabrication. As the retainer is a custom-made device, its cost reflects the laboratory time and the precision of the fitting required for its effectiveness.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"iaba-faq-item\">\n<summary>Is the retainer covered by insurance?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"iaba-faq-a\">\n<p>A retainer may be partially reimbursed under the annual retention allowance of the French National Health Insurance (Assurance Maladie) for patients who received orthodontic treatment covered before the age of 16. For adults, it is not covered by the French National Health Insurance and is covered by supplemental health insurance (mutuelle). Specific details can be found on the Ameli website.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"iaba-faq-item\">\n<summary>What are the disadvantages of a dental retainer?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"iaba-faq-a\">\n<p>The main drawbacks are the discipline required of the patient (not forgetting it, not losing it), the need for daily cleaning to prevent tartar buildup and odors, and the risk of deformation if exposed to heat. A poorly maintained retainer loses its effectiveness and can contribute to gum problems.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"iaba-faq-item\">\n<summary>Does wearing a retainer at night cause pain?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"iaba-faq-a\">\n<p>A properly fitted retainer should not cause pain. A slight feeling of pressure is normal for the first few nights or after a period of not wearing it. Persistent pain, occlusal discomfort, or a localized pressure point warrants a prompt consultation for adjustment: the device should never be uncomfortable over time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"iaba-faq-item\">\n<summary>What should I do if the retaining wire comes loose?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"iaba-faq-a\">\n<p>If the wire becomes partially or completely detached, you should consult the dentist promptly for reattachment. A partially detached wire can allow a tooth to move independently and create an imbalance. The procedure is quick, painless, and preserves the results of the treatment. Until your appointment, avoid manipulating the wire with your tongue.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"section-7\">Points to be aware of and best practices on a daily basis<\/h2>\n<p><strong>The success of restraint depends as much on the choice of device as on the patient&#039;s involvement in its maintenance and follow-up.<\/strong> A few simple steps can help preserve the results obtained over many years.<\/p>\n<div class=\"iaba-bento\">\n<div class=\"iaba-bento-item iaba-wide\">\n<div class=\"iaba-bento-ico\">\ud83e\udea5<\/div>\n<h4>Appropriate hygiene<\/h4>\n<p>Thorough brushing around the lingual wire, use of dental floss or interdental brushes, daily cleaning of the tray.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"iaba-bento-item\">\n<div class=\"iaba-bento-ico\">\ud83d\udcc5<\/div>\n<h4>Regular checks<\/h4>\n<p>An annual check-up allows for the early detection of detachment or wear.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"iaba-bento-item iaba-dark\">\n<div class=\"iaba-bento-ico\">\ud83d\udc41\ufe0f<\/div>\n<h4>Self-observation<\/h4>\n<p>Any new sensation (thumping wire, loose tooth, aligner that no longer clips) should be a cause for concern.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"iaba-bento-item\">\n<div class=\"iaba-bento-ico\">\ud83c\udf21\ufe0f<\/div>\n<h4>Preserve the gutter<\/h4>\n<p>No hot water, no abrasive products, store in a ventilated case.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>For patients who started their restraint treatment elsewhere and wish to continue their follow-up in Divonne, the transition procedures are detailed in our dedicated article: <a href=\"https:\/\/nicolasbarriere.fr\/en\/blog\/resuming-retention-treatment-with-a-new-orthodontist-in-divonne-les-bains-how-is-this-transition-organized\/\">resume retention follow-up with a new orthodontist in Divonne-les-Bains<\/a>.

La goutti\u00e8re de nuit est une coque transparente thermoform\u00e9e port\u00e9e pendant le sommeil. Selon les recommandations SFODF 2023, l'association des deux offre la stabilit\u00e9 la plus durable, avec un risque de r\u00e9cidive significativement r\u00e9duit sur 10 ans. Pour stabiliser l'alignement dentaire apr\u00e8s un traitement orthodontique, deux dispositifs coexistent : la contention fixe (fil coll\u00e9 en lingual de canine \u00e0 canine) et la goutti\u00e8re de nuit amovible. L'association des deux reste, selon la Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 Fran\u00e7aise d'Orthop\u00e9die Dento-Faciale, la m\u00e9thode la plus recommand\u00e9e pour s\u00e9curiser le r\u00e9sultat sur le long terme. Un avis personnalis\u00e9 n\u00e9cessite une consultation clinique et un examen approfondi au cabinet. Conte\n\n## FAQ\n\n### Combien co\u00fbte la contention en orthodontie ?\n\nLe co\u00fbt varie selon le dispositif choisi (fil fixe, goutti\u00e8re, ou association des deux), l'arcade concern\u00e9e et la complexit\u00e9 clinique. Les tarifs sont encadr\u00e9s en France pour la partie rembours\u00e9e par l'Assurance Maladie chez les moins de 16 ans. Au-del\u00e0, un devis personnalis\u00e9 est syst\u00e9matiquement remis en consultation avant toute pose.\n\n### Combien de temps faut-il porter une goutti\u00e8re de contention la nuit ?\n\nLa goutti\u00e8re de contention se porte la nuit sur le tr\u00e8s long terme, souvent consid\u00e9r\u00e9 \u00ab \u00e0 vie \u00bb pour s\u00e9curiser le r\u00e9sultat. Les premiers 6 \u00e0 12 mois, le port est syst\u00e9matique chaque nuit. Au-del\u00e0, le rythme peut \u00eatre espac\u00e9 sur avis orthodontique, mais un arr\u00eat complet expose \u00e0 une r\u00e9cidive, m\u00eame plusieurs ann\u00e9es apr\u00e8s la fin du traitement.\n\n### Est-ce que la mutuelle rembourse la contention orthodontique ?\n\nL'Assurance Maladie prend en charge la contention \u00e0 hauteur d'un forfait annuel sur deux ans maximum chez les moins de 16 ans. Au-del\u00e0 de cette limite, et pour les adultes, le remboursement rel\u00e8ve int\u00e9gralement de la mutuelle compl\u00e9mentaire. Les contrats varient fortement : il est conseill\u00e9 de demander un devis au cabinet pour l'adresser \u00e0 votre mutuelle avant la pose.\n\n### Combien co\u00fbte une goutti\u00e8re orthodontique de contention ?\n\nLe prix d'une goutti\u00e8re de contention d\u00e9pend de la technique de fabrication (empreinte num\u00e9rique ou physique), du mat\u00e9riau et de l'arcade concern\u00e9e. Un devis d\u00e9taill\u00e9 est remis avant la fabrication. La goutti\u00e8re \u00e9tant un dispositif sur mesure, son co\u00fbt refl\u00e8te le temps de laboratoire et la pr\u00e9cision de l'ajustage n\u00e9cessaire \u00e0 son efficacit\u00e9.\n\n### Est-ce que la goutti\u00e8re de contention est rembours\u00e9e ?\n\nLa goutti\u00e8re de contention peut \u00eatre partiellement rembours\u00e9e dans le cadre du forfait annuel de contention de l'Assurance Maladie, chez les patients ayant eu un traitement orthodontique pris en charge avant 16 ans. Pour les adultes, elle n'est pas rembours\u00e9e par la S\u00e9curit\u00e9 sociale et rel\u00e8ve des contrats de mutuelle. Les modalit\u00e9s pr\u00e9cises figurent sur le site Ameli.\n\n### Quels sont les inconv\u00e9nients d'une goutti\u00e8re dentaire de contention ?\n\nLes principaux inconv\u00e9nients sont la rigueur impos\u00e9e au patient (ne pas l'oublier, ne pas la perdre), la n\u00e9cessit\u00e9 d'un nettoyage quotidien pour \u00e9viter le d\u00e9p\u00f4t de tartre et les odeurs, et le risque de d\u00e9formation en cas d'exposition \u00e0 la chaleur. Une goutti\u00e8re mal entretenue perd en efficacit\u00e9 et peut favoriser les probl\u00e8mes gingivaux.\n\n### La goutti\u00e8re de contention la nuit provoque-t-elle des douleurs ?\n\nUne goutti\u00e8re de contention bien ajust\u00e9e ne provoque pas de douleur. Une l\u00e9g\u00e8re sensation de pression est normale les premi\u00e8res nuits ou apr\u00e8s une p\u00e9riode sans port. Une douleur persistante, une g\u00eane occlusale ou un point de pression localis\u00e9 justifient une consultation rapide pour ajustement : le dispositif ne doit jamais \u00eatre inconfortable sur la dur\u00e9e.\n\n### Que faire si le fil de contention se d\u00e9colle ?\n\nEn cas de d\u00e9collement partiel ou total du fil, il faut consulter rapidement le cabinet pour un recollage. Un fil partiellement d\u00e9coll\u00e9 peut laisser une dent bouger isol\u00e9ment et cr\u00e9er un d\u00e9s\u00e9quilibre. L'intervention est courte, indolore et pr\u00e9serve le r\u00e9sultat du traitement. En attendant le rendez-vous, \u00e9viter de manipuler le fil avec la langue.\n\n## Source\n\nArticle publi\u00e9 par  ().\nR\u00e9viseur : , .","_llms_full_txt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[123,116],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-36041","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-contention-orthodontique","category-recidive-orthodontique"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nicolasbarriere.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36041","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nicolasbarriere.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nicolasbarriere.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nicolasbarriere.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nicolasbarriere.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=36041"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/nicolasbarriere.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36041\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":36160,"href":"https:\/\/nicolasbarriere.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36041\/revisions\/36160"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nicolasbarriere.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/36021"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nicolasbarriere.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=36041"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nicolasbarriere.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=36041"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nicolasbarriere.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=36041"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
