The combination of movement and tissue-restraint repositions the myofascia to a better approximation of the norm. SUMMARY Though varying in etiology and degree of severity, back pain has a common feature: build-up of lactic acid in muscle tissue and resulting irritation. Muscular hypertonicity and postural distortions create pain, facet joint irritation, and radiculopathy.
The classic retainer is a removable retainer that has a structure that fits perfectly on the roof of your mouth. There is an acrylic section that goes over your teeth, which helps to keep them in their current position or to move them back to where they need to be. The other type of retainer is called a fixed retainer which is not removable.
Some orthodontists suggest using a fixed retainer, this is done by placing a permanent wire on the inside of the teeth to keep them in place, but this is uncomfortable for some. The type of retainer is less important, what matters most is using a retainer to maintain proper position and alignment.
