Which Retainer Is Right for You in Charingworth?
Fixed (bonded) retainers are thin wires bonded behind the front teeth — usually the lower six, sometimes the upper too. They're permanent, invisible from the front, and need no daily effort, though they require careful cleaning with floss threaders to keep the gum healthy.
Essix retainers are the transparent tray-style retainer worn over the teeth — nearly invisible and comfortable, though the plastic warps if exposed to heat and usually lasts one to three years.
Hawley retainers are the classic removable retainer: robust, adjustable, and long-lived, with the only real downside being that the front wire is visible when in.
Many orthodontists in Charingworth now provide both a fixed wire for continuous protection and a removable Essix tray for overnight use, combining the strengths of each.
Post-Brace Care in Charingworth
When braces come off or aligner treatment completes in Charingworth, protecting the result begins. Many patients are surprised how much goes into keeping teeth exactly where treatment left them. This guide covers everything that happens after active treatment ends.
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.
