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. Any orthodontic practice in Raynes Park can fit, replace or repair them if you need it.
Looking After Retainers in Raynes Park
Essix retainers need replacing every one to three years on average — heat from dishwashers, hot drinks or a hot car warps the plastic. Clean them with a soft brush and cold water, never abrasive toothpaste, and use cleaning tablets occasionally.
Treat a lost or broken retainer as time-sensitive. Any orthodontic practice in Raynes Park can help, and catching a problem early is always far cheaper than dealing with relapse later.
Types of Retainer Available in Raynes Park
Fixed (bonded) retainers sit permanently behind the front teeth as a discreet bonded wire, holding the result with zero patient effort. The trade-off is cleaning: floss threaders or interdental brushes are needed to keep the area 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 Raynes Park now provide both a fixed wire for continuous protection and a removable Essix tray for overnight use, combining the strengths of each.

After Your Braces Come Off in Raynes Park
Post-treatment aftercare is arguably the most important phase of orthodontic treatment in Raynes Park. The de-bond appointment, retainer fitting, whitening timing and retention habits all decide whether your result lasts. Understanding the aftercare process helps you make the most of your investment.
The De-bond Appointment
De-bonding uses an instrument that carefully cracks the adhesive bond so brackets lift free without damaging the enamel underneath, then a rotating buff polishes off any leftover adhesive — the whole thing takes 10-20 minutes. Some mild sensitivity afterwards, as enamel that's been under a bracket meets air again, is normal and settles.
