The Truth About Retainers: Why You Must Wear Them

Here's the part nobody loves hearing: teeth move for life. The bone and ligaments around them remodel constantly, and without something holding the new position, they'll slowly drift back toward their original alignment.

That's the entire job of a retainer. Worn as prescribed — typically full-time for the first few months, then nightly indefinitely — it protects every millimetre of movement we achieved during your treatment.

We offer both removable and fixed retainers, and we'll help you pick the one that fits your routine. Lose one or break one? Come in — replacements are quick, and acting fast is always cheaper than retreating.
