Treat a lost or broken retainer as time-sensitive. Any orthodontic practice in Wembley Park 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.
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.
After Your Braces Come Off in Wembley Park
