What is retention?

After you’ve finished your Invisalign® treatment it’sessential that your teeth are held while the teeth “set” in their new positions and in the longer term to avoid small unwanted changes.

Because we now understand that, like the rest of your body, with wear and age some tooth movement is expected, retainers need to be worn from time to time to avoid any unwanted changes.

We will monitor your retention for up to 2 years after you’ve finished your treatment and we’ll advise you about any problems you may have with eruption of the wisdom teeth.
