Retainers

What? Retainers are custom-made appliances just for your mouth and must be worn regularly to stop the teeth from moving back to where they used to be.

Types

• Removable Essix Type
• Removable Hawley Type
• Bonded Retainer

Why? Retainers are crucial in keeping your smile straight and healthy for longer by not allowing the teeth to move back to where they started from.

This means you can enjoy the confidence your stunning smile gives you for years to come. It also protects the investment of time and money you made in your smile and your health by undergoing treatment in the first place.

Problems with Retainers

Please do not ignore any issues with your retainer! If the retainer doesn't fit then, it is probably not holding your teeth in its new position.

Please arrange to see your orthodontist at the earliest opportunity.
