What retention plan is best for long-term stability? The best retention plan is the one matched to your relapse risk. Teeth can drift after orthodontics because tissues remodel over time and bite forces continue daily. Retention is the system that protects your investment.
At MilimDental, Dr. Begüm Ulaşan (orthodontist / orthodontic specialist) selects retention based on initial crowding severity, bite pattern, jaw narrowing history, and habits like clenching. Options include fixed bonded retainers behind the front teeth, removable clear retainers worn nightly, or a combination for higher-risk cases. Many patients benefit from fixed retention for the most relapse-prone teeth plus a removable retainer to stabilize the full arch.
A high-quality retention plan includes: a wear schedule (initial stabilization and long-term maintenance), cleaning instructions, retainer check-ups, and an action plan if a retainer breaks or is lost. Retention is not a short add-on; it is long-term stability management. The true success of orthodontics is measured years later—and retention is how Dr. Begüm Ulaşan and MilimDental keep results stable.
