The last part of any orthodontic plan, and the piece that stops your teeth creeping back.
Teeth have a memory. After braces or aligners come off, the fibres around them tend to pull them back towards where they started. A retainer holds everything steady while the teeth settle, and wearing it as instructed matters as much as the treatment itself.
There are two main types. A bonded retainer is a fine wire fixed behind the front teeth. A removable retainer is a clear tray you put in, often at night. Your orthodontist will suggest one, or a mix of both, depending on your teeth.
You do not need to have been treated with us to get a retainer here. We take a detailed scan, have your retainer made to fit, and show you how to wear and clean it.

Return for reviews, and for a new retainer if yours wears or breaks.
For lasting results, most people keep wearing a retainer long-term, often just at night. Your orthodontist will set out a routine for you.
Contact us promptly. Teeth can start to shift quite quickly without one, so a fast replacement gives you the best chance of keeping your result.
