After orthodontic treatment, teeth have a natural tendency to drift back toward their original positions. Retainers are custom-made dental appliances that hold teeth in their corrected positions while the surrounding bone and tissue stabilise.
At FG Cosmo Dental, retainers are made from precise impressions or digital scans of your post-treatment teeth. They are available in removable or fixed options, and we provide clear guidance on how and when to wear them for the best long-term outcome.
Don’t ignore the signs — early treatment delivers better results with less time and cost.
All patients finishing metal or ceramic brace treatment need retainers to hold their results.
Invisalign treatment always requires retainers afterwards to maintain the achieved alignment.
If previously straightened teeth are beginning to move, a retainer can help prevent further drift.
Long-term nighttime retainer wear is the most reliable way to preserve orthodontic results for life.

Without a retainer, teeth commonly begin to drift back within months of completing orthodontic treatment.
Made precisely from your own teeth, custom retainers fit far better and feel more comfortable than generic ones.
Regular retainer wear is the most effective way to preserve the results of years of orthodontic treatment.
Removable retainers can be taken out for eating and cleaned alongside normal oral hygiene routines.
We advise on the best retainer type for your case — some patients benefit from a bonded fixed retainer.
We check your teeth and confirm your alignment is stable before taking retainer records.
A precise impression or digital scan is taken to fabricate a retainer that fits your teeth exactly.

Without retainers, teeth gradually shift back toward their original positions after orthodontic treatment.
Initially full-time, then typically just at night. Many patients wear retainers indefinitely to maintain results.
Most retainers are removable. Fixed retainers are bonded behind the teeth and worn permanently.
