Teeth Retainers After Treatment in Coln Rogers

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. How diligently they're worn is what determines how long your Coln Rogers treatment result lasts.

How Long Is Retention?

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.

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.

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.
