FAQs

Will I have to wear retainers after braces?

Retainers are crucial after braces to maintain the perfect alignment of your teeth. They help prevent your teeth from shifting back to their original positions, ensuring a lasting and beautiful smile. Regular retainer use is key to preserving the results achieved during your orthodontic treatment.

Do you have to wear retainers for life?

While it’s not necessary to wear retainers for life, consistent use during the initial months and a gradual reduction to a couple of times a week over time is recommended. Your orthodontist will provide personalised guidance on the days of retainer wear each week based on your specific case.

What do I do if my retainers don't fit anymore?

If you find that your retainers no longer fit, it is important to contact your orthodontist promptly. Avoid attempting to adjust them yourself as it may harm your teeth or disrupt the treatment progress. Your Heaton Mersey orthodontist will assess the situation and will provide adjustments or recommend new retainers to ensure your teeth stay properly aligned.
