Retainers
Your teeth will always want to move back into its original position. You will get removable plastic retainers to wear long term to keep the teeth in alignment. Fixed retainers can be used as an additional form of retention. Fixed retainers are glued to the back surface of the front teeth. You are still required to wear your removable retainers.

Dr Richardson will see you 6 months post treatment to review your retainers.
