The Retainer Wear Schedule

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.

A bonded wire simply stays put, quietly doing its job without any effort from you, which is why it's the most dependable form of retention.

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.
