After aligners: the retention period
Get retainers to keep the result of bite correction for good — comfortable and invisible appliances.
The retention period lasts roughly twice as long as active treatment. A fixed retainer is a thin medical-steel wire on the inner surface of the teeth; a removable one is a clear night-time tray.
Benefits
Unobtrusive
A thin wire on the inside of the teeth is invisible and unnoticeable after a few days.
Works around the clock
A fixed retainer cannot be forgotten — the teeth are held in place constantly.
Rare check-ups
A check-up every six months is enough to inspect the retainer and confirm the result is stable.

Questions and answers
Do teeth get damaged under a metal retainer?
No. The retainer itself does no harm; what matters is cleaning around it and coming for professional hygiene.
