Retention is a lifelong commitment, not a short-term measure many patients expect. Relapse begins quickly once active treatment stops, which is why retention never truly ends. Practices across Tyburn usually supply both a fixed wire and a removable tray for belt-and-braces protection.
How Long Is Retention?
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.
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.

Which Retainer Is Right for You in Tyburn?
Fixed (bonded) retainers sit permanently behind the front teeth as a discreet bonded wire, holding the result with zero patient effort. The trade-off is cleaning: floss threaders or interdental brushes are needed to keep the area 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 Tyburn now provide both a fixed wire for continuous protection and a removable Essix tray for overnight use, combining the strengths of each.
After Your Braces Come Off in Tyburn
The end of active orthodontic treatment in Tyburn is a milestone — but not the end of the process. How diligently you wear retainers is what separates a lasting result from gradual relapse. Understanding the aftercare process helps you make the most of your investment.
Teeth Whitening After Braces in Tyburn
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.

Can I get retainers without having had braces?
