The end of active orthodontic treatment in Brynteg is a milestone — but not the end of the process. Many patients are surprised how much goes into keeping teeth exactly where treatment left them. Below we walk through the de-bond, retainers, whitening timing and long-term check-ups.
Ongoing Check-ups After Treatment
Regular 6-monthly dental check-ups don't stop mattering once treatment ends — your dentist will still check a fixed retainer wire is intact, the gum around it is healthy, a removable retainer still fits, and there's no early sign of teeth moving. Get in touch with your orthodontist promptly if a removable retainer stops fitting easily, a fixed wire looks like it's shifted, or you notice any change in tooth position.
The De-bond Appointment
At de-bonding, brackets are removed using an instrument that gently fractures the adhesive bond, leaving enamel undamaged when performed correctly. Adhesive residue is polished off using a rotating buff — taking 10-20 minutes. You may notice mild sensitivity in the days after as enamel previously under brackets is exposed; this is temporary.
Retainers are fitted at the same appointment — the same day. Even a few hours without a retainer after brackets are removed allows teeth to begin shifting. A fixed bonded retainer is placed behind the front teeth and a removable tray retainer is provided before you leave the practice.
