The result you paid for is only as durable as your commitment to retainers. Relapse begins quickly once active treatment stops, which is why retention never truly ends. Orthodontists in Todenham typically fit them the same day braces come off.
Types of Retainer Available in Todenham
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 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 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 Todenham now provide both a fixed wire for continuous protection and a removable Essix tray for overnight use, combining the strengths of each.
Replacing and Maintaining Retainers in Todenham
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.
If you lose or break a retainer, contact an orthodontist in Todenham promptly — most can make a replacement Essix within a few days from a scan. In the meantime, wear your old one if it still fits: even a damaged retainer beats none.

Orthodontic Aftercare in Todenham
Post-treatment aftercare is arguably the most important phase of orthodontic treatment in Todenham. The best clinical outcome can be lost within months if retention is neglected. This guide covers everything that happens after active treatment ends.
Ongoing Check-ups After Treatment
Regular 6-monthly dental check-ups don't stop mattering once treatment ends — your dentist will still check a fixed retainer wire is intact, the gum around it is healthy, a removable retainer still fits, and there's no early sign of teeth moving. Get in touch with your orthodontist promptly if a removable retainer stops fitting easily, a fixed wire looks like it's shifted, or you notice any change in tooth position.
