Retainers in Fartown Green

The result you paid for is only as durable as your commitment to retainers. Without them, teeth start drifting back towards their old positions within weeks of finishing. Any orthodontic practice in Fartown Green can fit, replace or repair them if you need it.

Types of Retainer Available in Fartown Green

Fixed (bonded) retainers are thin wires bonded behind the front teeth — usually the lower six, sometimes the upper too. They're permanent, invisible from the front, and need no daily effort, though they require careful cleaning with floss threaders to keep the gum 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 use an acrylic plate with a wire across the front teeth. Sturdier and repairable, they last far longer than clear trays at the cost of being more noticeable.

Many orthodontists in Fartown Green now provide both a fixed wire for continuous protection and a removable Essix tray for overnight use, combining the strengths of each.
