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.

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.
