Types of Orthodontic Retention

The bonded or fixed retainer is now the most common type. It is simply a wire glued to the back of the patient’s teeth. Unlike other retainers, the patient can’t remove it. Orthodontists generally recommend fixed retainers for patients whose orthodontic treatments have wrought dramatic changes that are likely to come undone without further treatment. Many orthodontists leave the bonded retainer in place until after the patient’s wisdom teeth come in, which usually happens when they are in their late teens or early twenties. Some people wear their bonded retainers for life.

The Hawley retainer is probably the oldest and best-known type of retainer. Named for its inventor, Dr. Charles Hawley, it consists of plastic and wires. It is most often worn on the upper teeth, and the wire is usually designed to surround the six front teeth and keep them in place. The plastic or acrylic part sits in the roof of the patient’s mouth. Hawley retainers are removable, and the orthodontist can adjust the wire. Hawley retainers are also durable and easy to clean.

Essix or invisible retainers look a bit like Invisalign braces, and are often used by patients who used Invisalign. Essix retainers are made from a clear plastic and slip over the patient’s teeth. They can be designed to cover either all of the teeth or just the front teeth. The last type is sometimes called a“clip-on”retainer. Like the Hawley retainer, the Essix retainer is removable, so the patient can take it out when eating. This type of orthodontic retention offers more discretion than a traditional retainer.

How Long Do People Wear Retainers?

The length of time varies, but most patients wear a retainer for at least a year after getting their braces removed. If the patient has a removable retainer, they will likely be told to wear it almost constantly at first. As their treatment progresses, the orthodontist will have them wear it less and less. Most people have to wear a retainer for 18 to 30 months.
