Investing in a retainer from our Loughborough practice offers a host of lifelong benefits:
Most patients start by wearing their retainers full-time for a few months, then transition to nighttime wear. For best results, long-term or even lifelong night-time wear is often recommended.
Removable retainers should be taken out while eating to prevent damage and keep them clean. Fixed retainers won’t interfere with your meals.
Clean removable retainers daily with a soft toothbrush and mild soap or retainer cleaner. Avoid hot water. For fixed retainers, brush and floss diligently around the wire.

There may be a short adjustment period, but this is temporary. Practising speaking with your retainer will help you adapt quickly.
Yes, some orthodontic treatments use clear aligners as retainers. These are similar to your treatment aligners but designed to maintain, not move, your teeth.
Regular check-ups are important to ensure your retainer is doing its job. Typically, we’ll see you every few months initially, then annually.
