When to look for retainers locally
You may need help if a retainer is lost, broken, tight, loose, or no longer fitting. Teeth can move when retainers are not worn or no longer work properly.
Replacement versus repair
A removable retainer may need replacement if it is warped or cracked. A fixed retainer may need rebonding or replacing if the wire comes loose.
Why review matters
If teeth have moved, a simple replacement may not be enough. A clinician can check whether retention, repair, or minor correction is the right next step.
