Fixed Retainers At Battersea Dentist

Fixed retainers, also called bonded or permanent retainers, are thin wires custom-shaped to fit discreetly behind your teeth. They are securely attached using a specialised bonding material, making them virtually invisible when you smile or speak.

Unlike removable retainers, fixed retainers stay in place at all times, helping to maintain your teeth in their new positions after braces by providing continuous support. This makes them an excellent option for patients who may forget to wear removable retainers or find them difficult to keep clean.

Although convenient and effective, fixed retainers may occasionally need adjustment or replacement, which can be carried out by your dentist as needed.
