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. How diligently they're worn is what determines how long your Lassington treatment result lasts.
Retainer Replacement and Emergency Care in Lassington
Essix retainers need replacing every one to three years on average — heat from dishwashers, hot drinks or a hot car warps the plastic. Clean them with a soft brush and cold water, never abrasive toothpaste, and use cleaning tablets occasionally.
If you lose or break a retainer, contact an orthodontist in Lassington promptly — most can make a replacement Essix within a few days from a scan. In the meantime, wear your old one if it still fits: even a damaged retainer beats none.

The Retainer Wear Schedule
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.
Fixed bonded retainers stay in place permanently unless they break, needing no daily decision — which makes them the most reliable long-term method.
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.
Life After Braces in Lassington
Finishing active treatment is the start of retention, not the finish line. The de-bond appointment, retainer fitting, whitening timing and retention habits all decide whether your result lasts. Understanding the aftercare process helps you make the most of your investment.
The De-bond Appointment
At de-bonding, brackets are removed using an instrument that gently fractures the adhesive bond, leaving enamel undamaged when performed correctly. Adhesive residue is polished off using a rotating buff — taking 10-20 minutes. You may notice mild sensitivity in the days after as enamel previously under brackets is exposed; this is temporary.
