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
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!
Caring for your Retainers
Clean Regularly
Rinse after each use and clean with mild soap or a retainer cleaner to avoid buildup.
Store Safely
When not in use, keep your retainer in a protective case to prevent damage or loss.
Avoid Heat
Heat can warp your retainer. Keep it out of direct sunlight and avoid using hot water for cleaning.
