Doctor will prescribe the retention plan that is best for you. Some retainers are used full-time for the first 6 months; after that, the retainers are worn only at night, for a few years. Other retainers are worn full-time for about a week, and solely at night thereafter. Fixed retainers are normally kept in place for 2 years.

Permanent retainers consist of a thin wire that is properly adapted and bonded to the inside surfaces of the front 4 or 6 teeth. Because these are permanent, there is no chance of loosing them or forgetting to wear them.
