Professional whitening after braces costs £200–£450 for a take-home kit, and £300–£700 for in-chair treatment. Most practices offer post-orthodontic whitening packages combining tray whitening with retainer review.
The De-bond Appointment
At de-bonding, brackets are removed using an instrument that gently fractures the adhesive bond, leaving enamel undamaged when performed correctly. Adhesive residue is polished off using a rotating buff — taking 10-20 minutes. You may notice mild sensitivity in the days after as enamel previously under brackets is exposed; this is temporary.
Retention starts the same day, at the same appointment — teeth can begin drifting within hours of a brace coming off with nothing holding them, so a bonded wire goes in behind the front teeth and a removable tray retainer is handed over before you leave.
Ongoing Check-ups After Treatment
Routine 6-monthly dental check-ups remain important after orthodontic treatment. Your dentist will check fixed retainer integrity, gum health around bonded wires, removable retainer fit, and early signs of tooth movement. Contact your orthodontist promptly if: your removable retainer no longer fits easily, a fixed retainer wire appears to have moved, or you notice teeth changing position.
