When we remove your braces, we will begin the retention stage of your orthodontic treatment. The retention stage of your treatment lasts for a minimum of 12 months. This means our doctors will actively follow you for the year immediately after your braces are removed. One set of retainers are included in your treatment fee. If retainer(s) are lost, a replacement fee will be incurred. If a new retainer(s) is needed after we insert your initial set of retainers due to cosmetic dental work being carried out, a replacement fee will be incurred. Your final orthodontic result depends on your retainers, so follow through with the hard work you’ve put in so far.
