Why wear retainers?

Without retainers, teeth naturally drift back towards their original position — a process known as relapse — even years after orthodontic treatment has finished. The shift can be barely noticeable at first, but accumulates significantly over time. Wearing retainers consistently prevents relapse and safeguards everything you've achieved through straightening. They are an essential, non-negotiable step after any orthodontic treatment. As your dentist in St Albans, we'll guide you through the ideal wearing schedule for your individual case.

When should you wear them?

  • 12–22 hours a day for the first 3–6 months after treatment
  • Night-time only for the following 6–12 months
  • 3–5 nights a week thereafter, maintained long-term

Why Vivera is different

Vivera retainers are fabricated from a proprietary, medical-grade thermoplastic that resists distortion and wear better than standard clear retainer materials. They're comfortable against the gum tissue, near-invisible in everyday life, and simple to remove for meals and cleaning. Every Vivera prescription comes with multiple sets, so a replacement is always on hand if one is lost or damaged. Find out more about Vivera retainers in St Albans on our main website.
