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. Any orthodontic practice in Revesby can fit, replace or repair them if you need it.
Which Retainer Is Right for You in Revesby?
Fixed (bonded) retainers are the set-and-forget option — a hidden wire fixed behind the incisors that never relies on you remembering to wear it. They do demand a bit more care at brushing time to avoid plaque around the wire.
Essix retainers are clear thermoplastic trays much like aligners, removed for eating and cleaning. They're discreet and comfortable but can warp with heat and typically need replacing every 1–3 years.
Hawley retainers use an acrylic plate with a wire across the front teeth. Sturdier and repairable, they last far longer than clear trays at the cost of being more noticeable.
Many orthodontists in Revesby 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 Revesby
Post-treatment aftercare is arguably the most important phase of orthodontic treatment in Revesby. How diligently you wear retainers is what separates a lasting result from gradual relapse. Understanding the aftercare process helps you make the most of your investment.
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.
