Retainers & Aftercare

About

Finishing active treatment is just the beginning of caring for your new smile. Teeth naturally tend to move throughout life, so retainers are essential to protect your result and keep your smile stable for the long term.

Who is it for?

Everyone who completes orthodontic treatment. Retention is a lifelong commitment, whatever treatment you've had.

What to expect

Olivia will recommend the most suitable retainers for you — fixed (a thin wire bonded discreetly behind the teeth), removable (clear retainers worn as directed, usually at night), or a combination of both. You'll receive clear instructions on wear and care, and ongoing review to keep your result stable.

Key points

• Protects and maintains your result
• Fixed and removable options
• Clear guidance and ongoing support
• Retention is lifelong
