Orthodontic Retainers Available in Baginton

The result you paid for is only as durable as your commitment to retainers. Teeth are under constant biological pressure to move, and retainers are the only reliable counter. How diligently they're worn is what determines how long your Baginton treatment result lasts.

The Retainer Wear Schedule

Modern practice is lifelong retention for removable retainers — daily wear at first, easing to nights only long-term. Stopping entirely, even years later, remains the commonest cause of teeth drifting back.

A bonded wire simply stays put, quietly doing its job without any effort from you, which is why it's the most dependable form of retention.

A retainer that no longer seats is a warning sign — get it checked promptly. Catching movement early usually means a fresh retainer, not a full course of retreatment.
