Retainers and stable resultsQuestion after the braces come off

Do I need to see my orthodontist after treatment has finished, and how often?

After treatment has finished, we recommend a visit to the orthodontist after 6 months, and after that according to an individual plan. Of course, if you have a problem with your retainer, notice your teeth shifting or have any other concerns, you should get in touch with your orthodontist.

This answer is for general information. Your own case needs an examination by an orthodontist.
