Keep Your Teeth in Line with a Bonded Retainer
Retention is the final, and often overlooked, stage of orthodontic treatment. A fixed retainer is a slim wire bonded behind your front teeth that helps hold them in their corrected position. Because it stays put, there's nothing to remember to wear each day.
At Wimpole Street Medical & Dental in Marylebone, we fit bonded retainers for patients who have finished braces, Invisalign or other clear aligner treatment – and for those who have noticed movement since earlier orthodontics. Our dentists take care to bond each wire comfortably and precisely.
Positioned on the inside surface of the teeth, a fixed retainer is effectively invisible in day-to-day life. With sensible care and routine check-ups, it can provide dependable long-term retention support.

How We Fit Your Fixed Retainer
A simple, comfortable procedure completed in just 30 minutes.
Consultation & Assessment
We examine your teeth and discuss your retention needs. If you've recently completed braces or aligner treatment, we'll assess the best timing for retainer fitting.
Tooth Preparation
We gently clean and prepare the back surfaces of your teeth. This ensures optimal bonding and long-lasting adhesion.
Custom Wire Fitting
A thin, custom-shaped wire is carefully positioned along the back of your front teeth, usually canine to canine (6 teeth).
Secure Bonding
We bond the wire to each tooth using dental composite. The process is quick and comfortable, taking approximately 30 minutes.
Final Check & Aftercare
We check your bite, smooth any rough edges and explain how to care for the retainer. You leave with continuous support for your front teeth.
