The best solution for correcting orthodontic deficiencies are transparent aligners. These devices fit tightly around the teeth and provide them with gradual and gentle movement into the correct position.
There are several types of dental trainers. They differ in the production method, functional purpose, design and volume.
In particular, mouth guards are intended for:
For lightening. The lightening composition is inside the trainer. They are put on the teeth for a set time (15-60 minutes). A special composition promotes the decomposition of pigments in the enamel, as a result of which the teeth become lighter. Such designs are not able to correct deep color defects associated with injuries, medication and heredity. Sometimes wearing them causes increased tooth sensitivity and gum irritation.
For teeth correction. They are intended to correct bite and defects in the arrangement of chewing elements. These structures are also called aligners. They gradually move the teeth to the desired position. They should be replaced every few weeks. The treatment process can last from several months to 2 years.
For dental protection. Used to prevent damage to teeth during sports. Such designs cushion impacts and reduce the risk of injury to the jaw, joints, gums and tongue. Such products can be unaesthetic and uncomfortable to wear. They require regular cleaning and disinfection.
For stabilizing teeth. Retainers (stabilizers) are used to maintain teeth in a new position after treatment with braces (and other orthodontic structures). Their main task is to prevent teeth from shifting and return them to their original position. Depending on the complexity of the case, trainers must be worn constantly or periodically, for several months or years.
For fluoridation. Fluoride-filled elastomers fit tightly to the teeth. They help strengthen the enamel and protect against harmful effects.
Some designs are used for bruxism. Wearing such trainers reduces the load on the jaw, protects teeth from decay and reduces muscle pain. The products are put on at night and taken off in the morning.
"These devices are similar to active aligners, but they are not designed to move teeth, but to maintain them in the correct position.
Retention trays must be worn strictly according to the schedule recommended by the orthodontist. This will help to avoid relapses and displacement of teeth back to their original position. Neglecting these recommendations leads to the need for repeated treatment. This is especially true in cases where patients do not wear trainers at night or do so irregularly.
Even short breaks in the use of retention trainers provoke a noticeable displacement of the chewing elements. Therefore, at the first signs of malposition of the teeth, you should not postpone a visit to a specialist. In addition, it is imperative to adhere to all instructions for caring for and wearing the trainers. This is what ensures long-term stability of the orthodontic result."

Features of bite correction with the help of mouth guards
Aligners/trainers are removable orthodontic devices designed to correct the position of teeth and normalize the bite. These devices accurately repeat the contour of the dentition.
Aligners fit tightly to the teeth, exerting pressure on them. They are manufactured in series, taking into account individual characteristics. The size of each subsequent copy is slightly different from the previous one.
The correction process with their help is based on the creation of targeted pressure. As a result, the teeth move in the bone structure of the jaws in a certain direction.
