Fixed and removable retainers, replacements and retainer checks, from our specialist-led orthodontic team at 223 Waterloo Road, SE1. Lost or broken your retainer? We can usually help quickly.
Teeth can move throughout life, especially in the months after braces or aligners. Wearing your retainer as advised is the best way to keep the result you worked for. If you stop, your teeth may slowly drift back.
A thin wire bonded behind the front teeth. Always in place, so there's nothing to remember – but it needs careful cleaning.
Thin, clear retainers made from a scan of your teeth. Usually worn at night.
Lost, cracked or no longer fitting? We take a 3D scan and order a new one.
We check your fixed retainer is still bonded and your removable one still fits well.
Don't wait – the longer you go without a retainer, the more your teeth can move. Call us on 020 7928 5844 or message us on WhatsApp and we'll book you in. If you still have an old retainer that fits, wear it until you're seen.
Brush removable retainers gently with cool water. Hot water can warp them.
Most lost retainers are wrapped in a napkin at mealtimes.
Use floss threaders or interdental brushes to clean under the wire.

We usually recommend long-term retainer wear, often at night, because teeth can move throughout life. We'll give you advice that suits your treatment.
Yes. We can make replacement retainers for patients who had braces or aligners elsewhere. We'll check your teeth first and take a 3D scan.
Call us so we can re-bond or replace it. Until then, avoid pulling at the wire, and wear a removable retainer if you have one.
Both work well. Fixed retainers don't rely on you remembering to wear them, while removable ones are easier to clean. Many people have both. Watch Dr Sarah explain the options in Ask Dr Sarah.
