Retention is a lifelong commitment, not a short-term measure many patients expect. Without them, teeth start drifting back towards their old positions within weeks of finishing. Practices across Camusnagaul usually supply both a fixed wire and a removable tray for belt-and-braces protection.
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.
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.
