Retainers are the final — and permanent — phase of any orthodontic treatment. Teeth are under constant biological pressure to move, and retainers are the only reliable counter. Practices across Lindsayfield usually supply both a fixed wire and a removable tray for belt-and-braces protection.
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.
