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.

Which Retainer Is Right for You in Ewell?
Fixed (bonded) retainers are the set-and-forget option — a hidden wire fixed behind the incisors that never relies on you remembering to wear it. They do demand a bit more care at brushing time to avoid plaque around the wire.
Essix retainers are clear thermoplastic trays much like aligners, removed for eating and cleaning. They're discreet and comfortable but can warp with heat and typically need replacing every 1–3 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 Ewell now provide both a fixed wire for continuous protection and a removable Essix tray for overnight use, combining the strengths of each.
