19 July Holidays

The term "retainer" is used because the device retains or holds the teeth in their newly aligned positions. It "retains" the progress made during orthodontic treatment and prevents regression or relapse.

The purpose of a retainer is to maintain the position and alignment of teeth after orthodontic treatment. After braces or other orthodontic interventions, a retainer helps prevent teeth from shifting back to their original positions. It ensures that the teeth remain in their corrected positions, allowing the desired alignment to stabilize and be maintained over time.

July 19th is not widely recognized as International Retainer Day. While there may be some observances or promotions related to retainers on that day, it is not an officially established international day for retainers.
