Straight vs. Scalloped Edge Retainers
Straight Edge: A straight edge retainer features a continuous, smooth line that extends
slightly over the gums. This design offers a classic fit, providing secure coverage for both the teeth
and a small portion of the gumline. The straight edge design is reliable and durable, making it a common
choice for those looking for a consistent, traditional retainer.
Scalloped Edge: A scalloped edge retainer is designed to follow the natural curves of
your gumline, hugging the contours of each tooth closely without extending over the gums. This design is
more discreet, as it fits seamlessly against your teeth, making the retainer nearly invisible when worn.
Additionally, the scalloped design can feel more comfortable, as it reduces contact with the gums, which
can be particularly beneficial for those with sensitive gums or who prefer a more customised fit.
Both designs offer excellent performance and comfort, with the scalloped edge providing an added level
of customisation and comfort for those seeking a more tailored fit.
