How Long Does a Permanent Retainer Last?
Your braces are off. Your smile looks great. But what happens next?
If you have a permanent (bonded) retainer behind your teeth, you may have wondered:
🦷 How long will it last?
🦷 How do I clean around it?
🦷 What should I do if it comes loose?
🦷 Is a permanent retainer better than a removable one?
Our latest blog answers these questions and more, including what permanent retainers cost, how to care for them, and the signs that your retainer needs attention.

If your bonded retainer ever feels loose or different, don't wait to have it checked. A partially detached wire may allow a tooth to shift even if you don't feel any discomfort.
Taking care of your retainer is an important part of protecting the smile you've worked hard to achieve.
If you’d like to learn more, we recently published a full blog on this topic.
