Keep your results with intelligent retention

The day your braces come off or you complete your final set of aligners is worth celebrating, but it is also when retention begins. Teeth have memory, and without support they tend to drift back toward their original positions in the months and years that follow. Excellent retention is what separates a result that lasts from one that slowly slips away, and it is a core part of how we look after you. We treat the finish line as a handover into a lifelong maintenance phase rather than the closing of a file.

We design retention around your treatment and your habits rather than handing out a generic device. Using your final intraoral scan, we capture the exact position of every tooth and create retainers milled to match precisely. That accuracy means a comfortable, snug fit and a reliable record we can compare against if anything starts to move. Because the scan lives on as a digital benchmark, even subtle drift becomes measurable rather than something you only notice once it is plainly visible.

Retention tailored to you

Depending on your case, we may recommend removable clear retainers, a discreet bonded wire behind the front teeth, or a combination of both. The right choice balances stability, lifestyle and how your teeth behaved during treatment. We talk you through the options so you understand what to wear, when to wear it, and why consistency in the early stages matters so much. Teeth that travelled a long way during treatment often need firmer support at first, and we factor that history into every recommendation.

• Final intraoral scan to record your finished smile precisely
• Custom-milled removable retainers or bonded retainers to suit your case
• Clear guidance on a wear schedule that protects your result
• Optional remote monitoring app to track stability between visits
• Replacement and refresh options to keep your retainers in top condition

Monitoring made effortless

Modern retention does not mean constant trips to the clinic. With our remote monitoring app, you can take quick scans of your teeth at home using your phone, and the software compares them against your finished result. If the data flags even subtle movement, we can act early with a simple adjustment rather than waiting for a problem to become obvious. It is reassurance that fits around your life, and it spares you needless appointments when everything is tracking exactly as it should.

Care for the long term

Retainers wear over time, and life happens, so we make it easy to refresh or replace them from your stored digital scan without starting from scratch. We also keep an eye on your overall bite and gum health at reviews, because a stable smile is a healthy smile. Think of post-treatment care as the maintenance plan that protects the investment you have already made.

A retainer left in a napkin, a missed few weeks of wear, a device that has grown brittle with age — these everyday slips are exactly what our process is built to absorb. Because your records are stored digitally, getting back on track is usually a quick scan and a fresh appliance rather than a return to square one, which keeps small lapses from undoing months of careful work.

Whether you have just finished treatment elsewhere or noticed your smile shifting, book a retention review. A small amount of attention now keeps your results looking their best for years to come.
