Retention Stage
When we remove your braces, we will begin the retention stage of your treatment. The retention phase lasts for a minimum of 24 months. Your final orthodontic result depends on your retainers, so follow through with the hard work you’ve put in so far. Remember to remove your retainer before brushing, and brush your retainer before placing it back in your mouth.
Permanent Wire Retainers
Bonded lingual retainers (also called fixed retainers) are cemented directly to the inside surface of your front teeth. This is one of the best ways to prevent your teeth from shifting. Patients with bonded lingual retainers should floss regularly behind the retainer to ensure their teeth are clean. If your retainer becomes loose or broken, please call our office immediately to prevent your teeth from shifting.
