Retaining Your Straight Smile with Confidence

Post treatment care Retainers
Retention is key to maintaining your new smile after orthodontic treatment. 
At The Look Orthodontics, we provide custom retainers and ongoing support to 
keep your teeth beautifully aligned. Whether you’re wearing your retainer full-time or just at night, regular follow-ups ensure your smile stays strong and confident 
for years to come.
Why Retainers Are Important

Why Retainers Are Important

Once your orthodontic treatment is complete, your teeth may naturally start to shift. Retainers play a vital role in holding your teeth in place, helping you keep the confident smile you’ve worked for. At The Look Orthodontics, our Specialist Orthodontists customise your retainer plan to fit your needs and lifestyle, offering both removable and fixed options.

In the first 2-3 years post-treatment, you’ll have regular check-ups to monitor stability. Typically, retainers are worn full-time for the first three months and can transition to night-time wear if no movement is observed. Rest assured, wisdom teeth removal doesn’t impact retention.

Your smile is a lifelong investment, and we’re here to help you keep it!

We provide several retainer options to help keep your smile in perfect shape

Types of Retainers We Offer:

Fixed (Bonded) Retainers

A thin wire attached to the back of your front teeth, providing round-the-clock support against shifting.

 

Removable (Clear) Retainers

Clear, removable retainers are comfortable and flexible—you can take them out for meals and cleaning while maintaining excellent results.


 

Hawley (Traditional) Retainers

A durable, classic retainer with an acrylic piece and wire that keeps your teeth in place. Ideal for long-lasting smile retention.
