Who it suits

When a retainer review is useful

Teeth can move after any orthodontic treatment. We assess current alignment, existing retainers and gum health before replacing or changing an appliance.

The reception and waiting area at Sunny Dental in Twickenham — Our reception on London Road — calm, unhurried and nothing like a clinic waiting room.

How treatment works

From first visit to finished smile

Check position

We assess whether the teeth are stable, have moved or need further orthodontic advice before a new retainer is made.

Choose the design

Fixed and removable options are compared for cleaning, reliability, comfort and your previous treatment.

Scan and make

A digital record captures the current tooth position and the retainer is made to that fit.

Wear and review

You receive a wear schedule and advice on cleaning, storage, breakage and when replacement is needed.

Fees

Dental retainer fee

The approved fee is per arch. If teeth have already moved, assessment may show that a new retainer alone is not appropriate.

Common questions

Asked at almost every consultation

How much is a dental retainer in Twickenham?

A fixed or removable retainer is £350 per arch. An assessment confirms whether the teeth are stable enough for a replacement retainer.

How long must I wear retainers?

Retention is normally long term because teeth can continue to move throughout life. The wear schedule depends on the appliance and your orthodontic history.

Is a fixed or removable retainer better?

Each has trade-offs. Fixed retainers do not rely on remembering nightly wear but need careful cleaning and checks; removable retainers are easier to clean but only work when worn.

What if my retainer no longer fits?

Do not force a painful or clearly distorted appliance. Arrange an assessment to establish whether it has changed or the teeth have moved.
