Looking After Retainers in Trusley

Treat a lost or broken retainer as time-sensitive. Any orthodontic practice in Trusley can help, and catching a problem early is always far cheaper than dealing with relapse later.

How Long Do You Need to Wear Retainers?

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.
