After braces or aligners, the bone and fibres around each tooth need time to settle. Teeth are under constant biological pressure to move, and retainers are the only reliable counter. How diligently they're worn is what determines how long your Ryehill treatment result lasts.
How Long Is Retention?
The current standard is to keep wearing removable retainers indefinitely, tapering from full-time to nights only. Abandoning them after a couple of years — once routine advice — is now recognised as a leading cause of relapse.
Because a fixed retainer removes the compliance question entirely, it's the surest safeguard against long-term drift.
If a removable retainer stops fitting after a gap in wear, don't force it — contact your orthodontist. A new retainer, or occasionally a short retreatment, is far cheaper than letting relapse set in.

Retainer Options in Ryehill
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 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 Ryehill 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 Ryehill
When braces come off or aligner treatment completes in Ryehill, protecting the result begins. 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.
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.
