Retainers for kids

These are the most important part of your treatment if you want your teeth to remain straight. They are usually of the clear plastic gum-shield type and are worn every night for at least 6 months after the teeth are moved to the correct position; the wear is then gradually reduced to about twice a week at bedtime; nowadays we usually advise that they continue to be worn twice a week for as long as you want to keep your teeth straight. This is because there remains a tendency for teeth to move a little – no matter how old you are.

We like to keep a check on your teeth for a year or so after removing fixed braces – this usually involves a very quick check every 3 – 6 months to make sure the teeth are staying where we want them. See our instruction movies on retainer use for more information.

“Outstanding treatment from the dentist for my teenage daughters. The dentist is fast, gentle, very friendly and reassuring – and absolutely brilliant at what they do. Always a pleasure to take the girls. The member of staff on reception and nurses are super friendly and helpful. Great team, can’t recommend them highly enough.”
