Retainers are one of the most important parts of your teeth straightening journey. When your orthodontic treatment is finished, the retainer is the implement that will ensure your teeth remain in their new position, and that your smile continues to be straight and beautiful. So, losing or breaking a retainer can be a big deal. At Square Mile Dental Centre, we’ll be able to treat you for your lost or broken retainer at an emergency appointment, as we’re well aware of how important it is to get your smile back on the straight and narrow.
Retainers come in both ‘fixed’ and ‘removable’ options. Some patients will wear one or the other, while other patients may have both. Only removable retainers can become lost, of course, but fixed retainers – like removable retainers – can get broken by becoming detached or damaged in some way. Whether you’re dealing with a broken retainer or a lost one, we’ll be able to help you through this orthodontic emergency.
