Retention tailored to relapse risk and bite.
Keeping teeth stable after treatment.
Retainers (retention phase)
After braces or aligners, teeth tend to relapse. Retainers hold the new position until tissues adapt, protecting your result long-term.
What retention is
- Fixed retainer - a thin lingual wire bonded with composite.
- Removable clear retainer - a transparent night tray worn per schedule.
- Combined retention - fixed wire plus night trays for maximum stability.
- Duration - personalized; commonly 12–24 months. Fixed wires may stay for years.
Why retainers are needed
- Relapse prevention - stops teeth drifting back.
- Periodontal stabilization - tissues adapt to the new position.
- Protects your investment - preserves the orthodontic outcome.
- Comfort & esthetics - discreet and easy to live with.

FAQ
How long do I need retainers?
At least 12–24 months. Fixed wires may stay longer with proper hygiene and check-ups.
Do retainers affect speech/eating?
Usually no. Tongue adapts to the wire; trays are removed for meals.
What if the wire comes off?
Don’t pull it. Book a repair promptly to prevent tooth movement.
Do I need trays if I have a fixed wire?
Often yes, especially early on. Combined retention is the most stable.
