At Toowong Orthodontics, we offer a range of retention options to ensure your new smile lasts a lifetime. It's important to remember that your teeth will continue to shift throughout your life as part of the natural aging process—unless they’re held in place with a retainer. Our team will work with you to find the best solution to keep your teeth in their perfect position for years to come.
We offer different types of retainer options, such as:
Removable retainers are an essential part of maintaining your perfect smile after orthodontic treatment. These custom-made devices can be easily taken in and out, offering flexibility while keeping your teeth in their new, aligned position. Wearing your removable retainer as instructed helps prevent your teeth from shifting over time, ensuring lasting results and a beautiful smile for years to come.
Fixed/bonded retainers are a discreet and effective solution for keeping your smile in place. A thin wire is permanently bonded to the back of your front teeth, providing continuous support without the need for removal. Perfect for those who prefer a worry-free option or tend to forget to wear their retainer, bonded retainers help ensure your teeth stay perfectly aligned over time.
We offer a variety of bonded retainer options, such as:
We recommend wearing a removable retainer alongside fixed/bonded retainers to ensure all teeth are kept in their aligned positioned, especially if the fixed/bonded retainer breaks.
In this video we explain what to expect after finishing your treatment, the importance of retainers, how to look after them and when you should come back to see us.
Bonded and removable retainers may require occasional repairs or maintenance, which can involve additional costs. If you have any questions or would like more information, please don’t hesitate to contact Toowong Orthodontics. We’re here to help ensure your smile stays in perfect shape!
