Orthodontic retainers may be fixed or removable.

The orthodontist may fit a wire retainer on the teeth and make adjustments wherever needed. The orthodontist may also take an impression and get a retainer fabricated and placed on the teeth.  

What care is required after fitting an Orthodontic Retainer?

Patients should wear retainers continuously, between meals, and at night. They should remove their retainer while taking part in contact sports.

He has helped me in so many ways to overcome my fears and complexes in relation to my teethCathJay, UK, 15 08 24

I went to see Dr Nikolaos Kasiteridis at Forest and Ray as I was having complex problems with some upper teeth, including a front tooth, a difficult situation for anyone! I am extremely grateful to Dr Nikolaos who was a marvel; he went the extra mile for me as a dentist who wants the best possible outcome for his patient’s health, at the same time incorporating high technical ability with cosmetic expertise. I can safely say that Dr Nikolaos excels in all these areas, his wealth of experience and long service to the practice speak for themselves, and he is a real professional. He digs deep to do the best he can with any of your dental problems. He has helped me in so many ways to overcome my fears and complexes in relation to my teeth. I’m aware that I can be a difficult and fussy patient to deal with and Dr Nikolaos has managed to help with my issues in a calm and professional manner. So, if you are thinking of a dentist who incorporates technical excellence with integrity, and also extremely importantly, a sympathetic response to difficulties that can seem overwhelming, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr Nikolaos and his excellent team. You will find that all their suggestions for your treatment are based on a genuine desire to help you in every possible way, as I did!

Orthodontic Retainer  
An orthodontic retainer is a device used after orthodontic treatment to help maintain the position of the teeth and prevent them from shifting back. Retainers are custom-made to fit the individual patient's teeth. They are usually made of plastic or a combination of plastic and wire.There are two main types of orthodontic retainers: fixed and removable. Fixed retainers consist of a thin wire bonded to the back of the teeth, commonly on the lower front teeth. This wire is invisible from the front and is designed to remain in place for several years or even permanently. Removable retainers can be taken out by the patient for cleaning and eating. They are usually made of clear plastic or acrylic and fit over the teeth like a mouthguard. Patients will be instructed to wear their removable retainers day or night, depending on the recommendation of their orthodontist. Orthodontic retainers are an important part of orthodontic treatment as they maintain the results achieved by braces or other orthodontic appliances. Patients must follow the instructions of their orthodontist regarding the wear and care of their retainers to prevent the teeth from shifting and the need for additional orthodontic treatment.
Braces  
Orthodontic braces are devices used in orthodontic treatment to straighten and align teeth, correct bite issues, and improve overall dental health. They consist of brackets, wires, and elastic bands that gradually work together to shift the teeth into the desired position over time.Brackets are small metal or ceramic pieces attached to the teeth using a unique adhesive. Wires are then threaded through the brackets and adjusted periodically to apply gentle pressure to the teeth, guiding them into the correct position. Elastic bands help the wires apply the necessary force to the teeth. Orthodontic braces can be made of different materials, including metal, ceramic, or plastic. They can also be customised with different colors and patterns to make them more personalized and fun for patients, especially children, and teenagers. Orthodontic treatment with braces typically lasts for several months to several years, depending on the severity of the dental issues being addressed. Patients must follow a strict oral hygiene routine and attend regular appointments with their orthodontist to ensure good progress and adjustments.
Metal Braces from £3800
Fixed metal braces are our dental practice's most often-used orthodontic system. They are sometimes referred to as traditional braces. They are inexpensive and capable of addressing the majority of orthodontic issues. They may provide a less aesthetically pleasing appearance throughout treatment. However, they are the most efficient and cost-effective solution to align your teeth with fixed braces, even if they are not the most aesthetically pleasing option on the market today. It is currently the most extensively used appliance, with excellent results: elastic bands and brackets in various colors to display your individuality. While aligners cannot solve certain cases and removable devices are time-consuming, a fixed metal brace can handle all orthodontic problems since it applies consistent pressure to your teeth 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Your orthodontist will have complete control over the movement of your teeth with metal braces.

Traditional metal braces are the most common type of braces used to straighten and align your teeth. Today’s metal braces are made of high-grade stainless steel, which are smaller, more comfortable and more attractive than in the past. Metal wires are attached to the front surfaces of your teeth through brackets. These wires are tightened over time, applying gentle pressure to the teeth which encourages them to move into a straighter position.

From the first contact on the phone with the reception could not have been a nicer dental visitNiki, UK, 12 01 21

Had an excellent visit to Mike Powell and his team. From the first contact on the phone with the reception could not have been a nicer dental visit! Having moved to the area and no luck finding an appointment with dentist suggested by neighbours I googled nearby dentists. Some I rang were extremely unhelpful and abrupt. Briercliffe had great reviews and decided to go for it although it is a bit of a journey to them. Am very glad I did. Dr Powell put me at ease and felt he was very thorough in the examination for my first patient consultation and explained his findings clearly. He gave me a detailed printout of my treatment plan and will be back to see hygenist shortly. Very covid secure. Highly recommend.

Overall I am very pleased with my experienceWilliam, UK, 12 02 24

I have always feared visiting the dentist , for that reason my teeth are destroyed and I have no smile I could be proud of . Today I had an appointment to have the damaged assessed and make a plan for future treatment . I was treated with consideration and kindness , I felt at ease , the examination was extensive and painless . I had x-rays taken to see what course of action would be best taken and at the end of the examination I had a chat with the dentist and a way forward was planned . My first impressions were good , I am feeling optimistic about the work to be done . I am looking forward to getting my smile back . Now the financial aspect . Todays bill was not cheap , however it was not over expensive . Overall I am very pleased with my experience , my future treatment plan and the final amount payable on completion of my treatment .
