Retainers are the final — and permanent — phase of any orthodontic treatment. Relapse begins quickly once active treatment stops, which is why retention never truly ends. Practices across Keltneyburn usually supply both a fixed wire and a removable tray for belt-and-braces protection.
How Long Do You Need to Wear Retainers?
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.
A bonded wire simply stays put, quietly doing its job without any effort from you, which is why it's the most dependable form of retention.
A retainer that no longer seats is a warning sign — get it checked promptly. Catching movement early usually means a fresh retainer, not a full course of retreatment.

Teeth Whitening After Braces in Keltneyburn
It's a common instinct to want whitening straight after de-bonding, but enamel is briefly more porous right after brackets come off and needs about 4 weeks to remineralise first. Professional whitening once that window has passed tends to give excellent results on newly straightened teeth.
