Retention is a lifelong commitment, not a short-term measure many patients expect. During the months of remodelling, retainers hold the teeth precisely where treatment left them. Orthodontists in Mountfield typically fit them the same day braces come off.
Which Retainer Is Right for You in Mountfield?
Fixed (bonded) retainers are thin wires bonded behind the front teeth — usually the lower six, sometimes the upper too. They're permanent, invisible from the front, and need no daily effort, though they require careful cleaning with floss threaders to keep the gum healthy.
Essix retainers look just like a clear aligner and are the most common removable choice after aligner treatment. Discreet and easy, but treat them gently with heat and expect a replacement every couple of years.
Hawley retainers are the classic removable retainer: robust, adjustable, and long-lived, with the only real downside being that the front wire is visible when in.
Many orthodontists in Mountfield now provide both a fixed wire for continuous protection and a removable Essix tray for overnight use, combining the strengths of each.

Replacing and Maintaining Retainers in Mountfield
Expect to replace an Essix retainer every couple of years; Hawley plates last far longer, and bonded wires longest of all. The one thing to watch with a fixed retainer is a wire quietly debonding from a tooth.
A fixed wire can debond without you noticing, so regular check-ups in Mountfield matter — an unrepaired wire lets a tooth move independently and misalignment can appear within weeks.
