After braces or aligners, the bone and fibres around each tooth need time to settle. During the months of remodelling, retainers hold the teeth precisely where treatment left them. Practices across Eversley Centre usually supply both a fixed wire and a removable tray for belt-and-braces protection.

Which Retainer Is Right for You in Eversley Centre?
Fixed (bonded) retainers sit permanently behind the front teeth as a discreet bonded wire, holding the result with zero patient effort. The trade-off is cleaning: floss threaders or interdental brushes are needed to keep the area 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 Eversley Centre now provide both a fixed wire for continuous protection and a removable Essix tray for overnight use, combining the strengths of each.
How Long Do You Need to Wear Retainers?
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.
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.
Orthodontic Aftercare in Eversley Centre
Post-treatment aftercare is arguably the most important phase of orthodontic treatment in Eversley Centre. How diligently you wear retainers is what separates a lasting result from gradual relapse. Getting aftercare right is what protects everything you've paid for.
Teeth Whitening After Braces in Eversley Centre
It's a common instinct to want whitening straight after de-bonding, but enamel is briefly more porous right after brackets come off and needs about 4 weeks to remineralise first. Professional whitening once that window has passed tends to give excellent results on newly straightened teeth.
