Retention is a lifelong commitment, not a short-term measure many patients expect. During the months of remodelling, retainers hold the teeth precisely where treatment left them. Orthodontists in Bordley typically fit them the same day braces come off.
How Long Is Retention?
Guidance has shifted in recent years: removable retainers are now recommended indefinitely — full-time for the first 3–6 months, then nights only, then several nights a week for life. The old 'stop after two years' advice caused many relapses.
Because a fixed retainer removes the compliance question entirely, it's the surest safeguard against long-term drift.
Should your retainer feel tight after time away from it, that's early drift; see your orthodontist rather than forcing it back on. Acting quickly avoids a bigger, costlier correction later.
Replacing and Maintaining Retainers in Bordley
Removable Essix retainers typically last one to three years before wear, warping or cracking calls for replacement, at roughly £80–£150 per arch. Hawley retainers are tougher and can last five to ten years; fixed wires last for years but can debond from a single tooth.
A fixed wire can debond without you noticing, so regular check-ups in Bordley matter — an unrepaired wire lets a tooth move independently and misalignment can appear within weeks.

Do fixed retainers cause tartar build-up?
A bonded retainer can collect plaque and tartar if it isn't cleaned around carefully, since it makes flossing the lower front teeth harder. Using a floss threader or interdental brush daily, plus regular hygienist visits, keeps the area healthy. Most people manage this easily once shown the technique.
