Retention is a lifelong commitment, not a short-term measure many patients expect. Relapse begins quickly once active treatment stops, which is why retention never truly ends. How diligently they're worn is what determines how long your Corbiehall treatment result lasts.
Looking After Retainers in Corbiehall
Removable Essix retainers typically last one to three years before wear, warping or cracking calls for replacement, at roughly £80–£150 per arch. Hawley retainers are tougher and can last five to ten years; fixed wires last for years but can debond from a single tooth.
Treat a lost or broken retainer as time-sensitive. Any orthodontic practice in Corbiehall can help, and catching a problem early is always far cheaper than dealing with relapse later.
How Long Is Retention?
Modern practice is lifelong retention for removable retainers — daily wear at first, easing to nights only long-term. Stopping entirely, even years later, remains the commonest cause of teeth drifting back.
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.

Keeping Teeth Straight Long-Term in Corbiehall
The practical commitment is modest: a fixed wire you don't think about, plus a removable retainer worn while sleeping. The reward is a straight smile that lasts decades.
