Retainers in Wigan

Undergoing teeth straightening is a significant commitment, and we feel it is important for patients to maintain optimal results following any treatment received from us. We offer retainers designed to preserve the current position of teeth post-treatment, preventing them from reverting to their previous position.

Retainers are designed to maintain the corrected positions of your teeth.
Here is what you need to know:

  1. Wear retainers consistently as per the provided instructions.
  2. Keep wearing retainers for as long as you wish to maintain your teeth's corrected alignment.
  3. Clean retainers by brushing with toothpaste; regular cleaning prevents the accumulation of hard deposits on the surface that may irritate your gums.
  4. Ensure you bring your retainer to each appointment.
  5. When not in use, store the retainer in the provided special case (avoid putting it in your pocket or wrapping it in a paper towel or napkin, as it may be mistakenly discarded). The plastic retainer case safeguards it from accidental damage or breakage under excessive pressure.
  6. Protect retainers from pets, as they have a tendency to chew on them.

Failure to wear your retainer, even for a brief period, may lead to the shifting of your teeth. If your teeth shift significantly, it can result in an ill-fitting retainer and you will need a new retainer. If you are experiencing any problems with your retainer, please contact our friendly team.
