After braces or aligners, the bone and fibres around each tooth need time to settle. Relapse begins quickly once active treatment stops, which is why retention never truly ends. Orthodontists in Camer's Green typically fit them the same day braces come off.
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.
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.
