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. Orthodontists in Lund typically fit them the same day braces come off.
Looking After Retainers in Lund
Removable Essix retainers typically last one to three years before wear, warping or cracking calls for replacement, at roughly £80–£150 per arch. Hawley retainers are tougher and can last five to ten years; fixed wires last for years but can debond from a single tooth.
Treat a lost or broken retainer as time-sensitive. Any orthodontic practice in Lund can help, and catching a problem early is always far cheaper than dealing with relapse later.
How Long Is Retention?
The current standard is to keep wearing removable retainers indefinitely, tapering from full-time to nights only. Abandoning them after a couple of years — once routine advice — is now recognised as a leading cause of relapse.
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.
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.
