After braces or aligners, the bone and fibres around each tooth need time to settle. Without them, teeth start drifting back towards their old positions within weeks of finishing. Orthodontists in Hawerby typically fit them the same day braces come off.
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.
Because a fixed retainer removes the compliance question entirely, it's the surest safeguard against long-term drift.
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.
Replacing and Maintaining Retainers in Hawerby
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 Hawerby can help, and catching a problem early is always far cheaper than dealing with relapse later.
