The result you paid for is only as durable as your commitment to retainers. During the months of remodelling, retainers hold the teeth precisely where treatment left them. Orthodontists in Ingrow typically fit them the same day braces come off.
Which Retainer Is Right for You in Ingrow?
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 look just like a clear aligner and are the most common removable choice after aligner treatment. Discreet and easy, but treat them gently with heat and expect a replacement every couple of 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 Ingrow now provide both a fixed wire for continuous protection and a removable Essix tray for overnight use, combining the strengths of each.
