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. Any orthodontic practice in Brinsworth can fit, replace or repair them if you need it.
The Retainer Wear Schedule
The current standard is to keep wearing removable retainers indefinitely, tapering from full-time to nights only. Abandoning them after a couple of years — once routine advice — is now recognised as a leading cause of relapse.
Fixed bonded retainers stay in place permanently unless they break, needing no daily decision — which makes them the most reliable long-term method.
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.
