How long does the orthodontic retention phase last?

The retention process lasts for a minimum of 24 months to lock in your results. Teeth can naturally shift over time due to bone remodeling and aging. Consistently wearing your custom retainer as directed prevents movement and preserves your alignment results. If a fixed retainer breaks, avoid adjusting it yourself and contact the practice immediately to book an emergency visit.
