A removable brace is one that simply clicks onto your teeth and can be removed when necessary. This type of brace is usually only used for the upper teeth and is limited in its capabilities. Removable braces may be used as the sole means of treating tooth displacements or more commonly in combination with fixed braces to treat more complex problems.
Treatment usually takes between 6-12 months but will vary according to your particular problem. You will need regular appointments during treatment for the brace to be adjusted.

If you are getting your dental braces off soon, than the next phase are retainers. There are several options post braces to help hold your bite and teeth in place as they were in the last phase of your braces treatment.
Most often removable retainers are given to patients to wear 24 hours, 7 days a week when they first get the braces off. There is a crucial period of about 3 months where you will be asked to wear them all day and night. Once the orthodontist decides, you may begin to wear them just at night, but it is noted that this will go on for several years.
Permanent retainers are mostly used on the bottom teeth. The retainer is affixed to the teeth and acts to hold them in place. This is usually used when crowding, spaces, and crooked teeth were a severe case and the orthodontist does not want to risk a relapse.
It is usually intended that this wire will be left indefinitely on your teeth to keep them straight. This means that as long as the wire is on your teeth, your teeth should stay straight. As soon as it is removed, the teeth will move.
Brush your teeth as normal. In addition, you should use "Superfloss" every day. Your orthodontist will show you how to use it.
