Treatments
Retainers and aftercare
What holds the result once braces or aligners finish. Fitted, checked at follow-ups, and replaced when it wears.
Suits: Every course of braces, lingual braces or aligners, which always ends with one.
How it works
Fitted the same day active treatment finishes, so nothing is left unheld.
Worn for the full hours you are given, from that day.
Checked at follow-up visits, and replaced when it wears.
The first weeks
- Speech can change slightly for a few days with a new removable retainer.
- A retainer that suddenly feels tight has usually been left out too long. Tell us rather than forcing it.
Questions
How long do I wear a retainer?
Retention is long term. Most people keep wearing a retainer at night, with no end date.
What if it wears out?
It is checked at follow-up visits and replaced when it wears.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the case and the appliance. You get a written plan with the price on it after the first visit.
