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. Orthodontists in Pasturefields typically fit them the same day braces come off.

How Long Is Retention?
Guidance has shifted in recent years: removable retainers are now recommended indefinitely — full-time for the first 3–6 months, then nights only, then several nights a week for life. The old 'stop after two years' advice caused many relapses.
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.
Which Retainer Is Right for You in Pasturefields?
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 are the transparent tray-style retainer worn over the teeth — nearly invisible and comfortable, though the plastic warps if exposed to heat and usually lasts one to three 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 Pasturefields now provide both a fixed wire for continuous protection and a removable Essix tray for overnight use, combining the strengths of each.
Post-Brace Care in Pasturefields
Post-treatment aftercare is arguably the most important phase of orthodontic treatment in Pasturefields. Many patients are surprised how much goes into keeping teeth exactly where treatment left them. This guide covers everything that happens after active treatment ends.
Teeth Whitening After Braces in Pasturefields
Many patients want to whiten their teeth immediately after braces come off. Wait at least 4 weeks before starting whitening — enamel is temporarily more porous after de-bonding and needs time to remineralise. Professional whitening after this period produces excellent results on freshly straightened teeth.
