Retainers are the final — and permanent — phase of any orthodontic treatment. Without them, teeth start drifting back towards their old positions within weeks of finishing. Orthodontists in Corrour typically fit them the same day braces come off.
Retainer Replacement and Emergency Care in Corrour
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 Corrour can help, and catching a problem early is always far cheaper than dealing with relapse later.

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.
If a removable retainer stops fitting after a gap in wear, don't force it — contact your orthodontist. A new retainer, or occasionally a short retreatment, is far cheaper than letting relapse set in.
After Your Braces Come Off in Corrour
When braces come off or aligner treatment completes in Corrour, protecting the result begins. How diligently you wear retainers is what separates a lasting result from gradual relapse. Understanding the aftercare process helps you make the most of your investment.
Long-Term Retention in Corrour
Retention is lifelong. Teeth experience continuous biological pressure to drift throughout life. Removable retainers should be worn full-time for the first 3-6 months, then nights only indefinitely. The previous guidance of stopping after 2 years has been updated — consistent long-term wear is what prevents relapse.

What happens if my fixed retainer breaks?
If a bonded wire debonds from one tooth, get it repaired promptly — teeth can move quickly without the wire holding them. If the wire breaks entirely, treat it as an emergency appointment. Your orthodontist or any orthodontic practice can rebond or replace the wire. Do not leave a broken fixed retainer unaddressed.
