-
Retainers
are used to reduce tooth movement after treatment.
-
You
have had a Fixed Retainer placed on your teeth in order
to maximise the chance of your teeth staying where they
are. Your orthodontist is certain your teeth will shift
into an unsatisfactory position without it.
-
It
is reversible. So if you do not like the feel of the retainer
it can be removed but you will have a removable retainer
made to wear every night.
-
The
Fixed Retainer may be repaired at no charge until you are
18 years old.
-
Once
you are 18 a charge will be made for repair or replacement.
There will be no charge if the retainer was fitted less
than one year ago.
-
Repairs
charges start at £41.
-
Replacements
may take 2 appointments and charges start at £123
