Adhesive retainer

A bonded retainer is a thin metal wire attached to the inner surface of the teeth with a special adhesive. Its purpose is to maintain the effects achieved after orthodontic treatment and to prevent the recurrence of malocclusion. The retainer works non-invasively, is invisible, and does not require regular removal, making it convenient and effective for long-term tooth stabilization.

Duration: 30-60 minutes.

Preparation: Consultation and oral hygiene.

Procedure: Bonding of the wire to the inner surface of the teeth using orthodontic adhesive.

Results: Stabilisation of the position of the teeth, discreet and permanent maintenance of the treatment effects.

Recuperation: None; the patient returns to daily activities immediately.
