After braces or aligners, the bone and fibres around each tooth need time to settle. Teeth are under constant biological pressure to move, and retainers are the only reliable counter. Any orthodontic practice in Breamore can fit, replace or repair them if you need it.
The Retainer Wear Schedule
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.
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.
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.
