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. Practices across Kildalloig 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.
Because a fixed retainer removes the compliance question entirely, it's the surest safeguard against long-term drift.
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.
