Retention & Teeth Straightening Protocol

Retention is the process of keeping your teeth straight following successful orthodontic treatment

When orthodontic treatment has been completed there is a great tendency for the teeth to move out of position again. Teeth continue to move throughout your life and your teeth usually become more crooked as you get older.

Retainers are provided to prevent movement of your teeth when your orthodontic treatment has been completed.

This is a lifetime process.

There are two types of retainer provided to keep your teeth in their new positions, removable retainers and fixed retainers.
