ORTHODONTIC Retainers IN ILFORD & Gants Hill
Helping maintain your smile after orthodontic treatment
After orthodontic treatment, teeth naturally have a tendency to shift over time. Retainers help stabilise your new smile and prevent unwanted movement following Invisalign or fixed braces treatment.
Custom retainers are carefully made to fit comfortably and securely over your teeth. Depending on your treatment needs, retainers may be removable or fixed behind the teeth for discreet long-term support.
Wearing retainers as advised is an important part of protecting your orthodontic investment and maintaining your smile results for years to come.
