português para inglês Medicina Medicina: odontologia Brochure on ClearCorrect retainer treatment
I know what this is as I watched a video of one being created, but don't know what it is in English. It is a tab created invisibly on the back of a tooth using adhesive to glue a tiny circular elastic band to this. The centre is then filled with resin and cured and the elastic is removed, leaving a "button" (or tab??) to which to attach the retainer elastics, without the need to attach a metal bracket/hook, as in traditional braces. I simply can't find any reference to this esthetic (as it isn't visible on the teeth) button or tab. Are there any orthodontists or anybody specialising in this field out there please??? From Brazil.

buttons/engagers Hi, as stated in my previous entry, these are known as buttons or engagers and are made on the teeth as anchorage points for aligners :)

Apologies to Liz Sorry Liz I hadn't seen your link before my final entry and closing the question :( Always appreciate you input.

Esthetic buttons/engagers I was thrown by the fact that the document uses "engagers" in English throughout but suddenly threw in "botão". Upon further research it seems that these are actually engagers, also sometimes known as "buttons", created on the teeth. Apologies for troubling you :)
