Retainer Replacement and Emergency Care in Stone Raise
Expect to replace an Essix retainer every couple of years; Hawley plates last far longer, and bonded wires longest of all. The one thing to watch with a fixed retainer is a wire quietly debonding from a tooth.

The Retainer Wear Schedule
Guidance has shifted in recent years: removable retainers are now recommended indefinitely — full-time for the first 3–6 months, then nights only, then several nights a week for life. The old 'stop after two years' advice caused many relapses.
Because a fixed retainer removes the compliance question entirely, it's the surest safeguard against long-term drift.
Should your retainer feel tight after time away from it, that's early drift; see your orthodontist rather than forcing it back on. Acting quickly avoids a bigger, costlier correction later.
After Your Braces Come Off in Stone Raise
When braces come off or aligner treatment completes in Stone Raise, protecting the result begins. The de-bond appointment, retainer fitting, whitening timing and retention habits all decide whether your result lasts. Getting aftercare right is what protects everything you've paid for.
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.
