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

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.

Fixed bonded retainers stay in place permanently unless they break, needing no daily decision — which makes them the most reliable long-term method.

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.
