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.
Your dentist or orthodontist will also fit you with a retainer. A retainer is a custom-made, removable or fixed appliance that helps teeth maintain their new position after braces have been removed. Retainers can also be used to treat minor orthodontic problems.
