Why Immediate Treatment for a Lost or Broken Retainer is Crucial
Retainers are designed to maintain your newly aligned teeth after orthodontic treatment (such as braces). Losing or breaking a retainer puts you at risk of:
- Teeth shifting back to their original, misaligned positions
- Increased risk of tooth crowding and orthodontic relapse
- Discomfort or sensitivity due to tooth movement
- Potential need for repeat orthodontic treatment
- Increased dental expenses and prolonged treatment time
Prompt action from an experienced emergency dentist in Edinburgh is essential to prevent your teeth from shifting and to maintain the results of your orthodontic treatment.
