Retainer Replacement and Emergency Care in Roehampton

Treat a lost or broken retainer as time-sensitive. Any orthodontic practice in Roehampton can help, and catching a problem early is always far cheaper than dealing with relapse later.
Retainer Options in Roehampton
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 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 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 Roehampton now provide both a fixed wire for continuous protection and a removable Essix tray for overnight use, combining the strengths of each.
