There are a few varieties of retainers, each with their own strengths and considerations: Fixed Retainers or Clear Removable Retainers.
Keeping your teeth in their corrected position after orthodontic treatment is essential. We offer two types of retainers to suit different lifestyles and budgets.
Both options are available at our Maida Vale clinic and can be fitted at the end of your orthodontic treatment or as a standalone appointment.
Different types suited to you
Fixed Orthodontic Retainers
This retainer consist of a wire which sits behind your front teeth. It may be placed on both upper and lower teeth and is not removable.
Removable Clear Retainers
These retainers are clear removable retainers which cover all the surfaces of your teeth.
Base Plate Retainer
This retainer is removable and is made of a plate which covers the roof of your mouth as well as a wire which sits across your front teeth to control their movement. These retainers are designed for the upper teeth.
Vivera Retainers
The below treatment options successfully treat crooked, misaligned, and overcrowded teeth, overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites. All treatments are also perfect for gapped teeth, although Invisalign cannot close gaps larger than 0.4mm.

After orthodontic treatment, teeth have a natural tendency to shift back towards their original positions. Wearing your retainer as prescribed — whether fixed or removable — is the only way to protect your investment and maintain your new smile long term.
Most patients transition from full-time wear to night-time-only wear after the first few months. Our orthodontists will guide you through the exact schedule for your individual case.
