Fixed Retainers Wire Cost LONDON
After receiving braces or Invisalign, permanent retainers are an excellent way to maintain your teeth’s alignment. A permanent retainer can break occasionally. If teeth are not held in place, they will inevitably move. To have the permanent retainer repaired as soon as possible, you should contact an emergency dentist or orthodontist if the wire begins to cause you discomfort or damage to your tongue.
BROKEN RETAINER- FIXTURE
How Dental Clinic Chelsea or your orthodontist fixes a broken permanent retainer depends on what kind of retainer it is and where the break is. Fixing the problem is easy if the permanent retainer’s wire is still strong but the composite has become too thin or has come loose from one or two teeth. Over the wire, your orthodontist will apply fresh dental composite and bond it to your teeth.
Your orthodontist can frequently use the same permanent retainer to bond it back onto your teeth if it breaks and comes completely off. It’s a good idea to keep the permanent retainer and bring it to your appointment if this happens to you.
TEETH SHIFT
If teeth are not held in place, they will inevitably move. You may notice some shifting of your teeth if a broken permanent retainer is not fixed within a few weeks or several months. There won’t be much, if any, tooth shifting for patients who wear a removable retainer over their teeth as a permanent retainer backup. Having a removable retainer helps to ensure that everything stays in its right place and serves as a lovely reinforcement for your permanent retainer. If you have a removable retainer and you discover that your permanent retainer is broken, wear your removable retainer as much as possible at night until you can get your permanent retainer fixed.
