The result you paid for is only as durable as your commitment to retainers. 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 Trevigro treatment result lasts.
Replacing and Maintaining Retainers in Trevigro
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.
If you lose or break a retainer, contact an orthodontist in Trevigro 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.

How Long Is Retention?
Modern practice is lifelong retention for removable retainers — daily wear at first, easing to nights only long-term. Stopping entirely, even years later, remains the commonest cause of teeth drifting back.
Fixed bonded retainers stay in place permanently unless they break, needing no daily decision — which makes them the most reliable long-term method.
A retainer that no longer seats is a warning sign — get it checked promptly. Catching movement early usually means a fresh retainer, not a full course of retreatment.
Orthodontic Aftercare in Trevigro
When braces come off or aligner treatment completes in Trevigro, 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.
Teeth Whitening After Braces in Trevigro
Many patients want to whiten their teeth immediately after braces come off. Wait at least 4 weeks before starting whitening — enamel is temporarily more porous after de-bonding and needs time to remineralise. Professional whitening after this period produces excellent results on freshly straightened teeth.
