Why do I need to wear a retainer after treatment?

Wearing a bonded retainer after treatment is essential for maintaining your newly aligned smile. It helps prevent teeth from shifting back to their original positions (a common issue known as relapse), offering lasting stability—especially for teeth more prone to movement. Bonded retainers are custom-made for a perfect fit, discreetly placed behind the teeth for an invisible finish, and eliminate the need to remember daily wear like removable options. Once your treatment is complete, you’ll visit a clinic for a quick scan to ensure the retainer fits precisely and protects your results for the long term.

How long will I need to keep my bonded retainer?

Bonded retainers are often intended for long-term use — sometimes indefinitely— to prevent teeth from shifting. Your dentist will advise when or if it should be removed, based on your unique dental stability.

Can I still floss with a bonded retainer?

Yes! Our bonded retainers are designed to be hygienic and allow you to floss using regular floss. Just be gentle and make sure to clean carefully around the wire to keep your gums and teeth healthy.

What happens if my bonded retainer breaks or comes loose?

If your retainer becomes loose or detaches, contact us as soon as possible. Delaying repairs could allow teeth to start shifting, affecting your treatment results.
