An orthodontist tightens a retainer by using a special tool to adjust the wire component of the retainer. This involves bending or tightening the wire to ensure it fits snugly against the teeth, helping to maintain their position after braces have been removed. The process is typically quick and may require the patient to return for periodic adjustments as needed. Regular check-ups help to ensure the retainer continues to function effectively.
