Two explanations, with different jobs
The design-and-purpose page explains why retention follows active movement and compares removable wire-and-base, clear-tray and bonded-wire arrangements. It helps readers understand what the appliance is intended to do and how it is physically arranged.
The care-information page explains a separate task: matching storage, handling and cleaning context to the actual design, then identifying the individual directions. Use the homepage paper record to keep the clinician's actual explanation.
Read the design explanation first, then match care information to that appliance.
