Types of Retainer Available in High Toynton
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 High Toynton now provide both a fixed wire for continuous protection and a removable Essix tray for overnight use, combining the strengths of each.
Post-Brace Care in High Toynton
Finishing active treatment is the start of retention, not the finish line. The best clinical outcome can be lost within months if retention is neglected. Getting aftercare right is what protects everything you've paid for.
