Why retainers matter after orthodontic treatment
Retainers play a crucial role once braces or aligners have done their job. At Manor House Dental Practice, we emphasise the importance of retaining the progress you’ve made. Teeth naturally shift over time, and without proper retention, your smile could change. Whether you’ve had treatment recently or some years ago, our retainers help secure your teeth’s new positions.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long should I wear my retainer after orthodontic treatment?
Retainer wear time can vary depending on individual treatment, but we generally recommend wearing it full-time for several months before transitioning to night-time use. Manor House Dental Practice will provide tailored guidance based on your specific needs.
What are the differences between fixed and removable retainers?
Fixed retainers are bonded to the back of teeth for continuous support, requiring no daily removal. Removable retainers can be taken out for eating and cleaning. Our team at Manor House Dental Practice will help you decide which option suits your lifestyle and dental health best.
Can I clean my retainer at home?
Yes, proper cleaning is essential to maintain your retainer’s effectiveness and hygiene. We advise gentle brushing with a soft toothbrush and soaking in recommended cleaning solutions. Manor House Dental Practice will provide detailed care instructions to keep your retainer in good condition.
