Treat a lost or broken retainer as time-sensitive. Any orthodontic practice in Jordan can help, and catching a problem early is always far cheaper than dealing with relapse later.

How Long Is Retention?

Modern practice is lifelong retention for removable retainers — daily wear at first, easing to nights only long-term. Stopping entirely, even years later, remains the commonest cause of teeth drifting back.

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.
