Stability is of utmost importance and Dr J will have the patient follow a proper retention programme when removing the orthodontic brackets.
Immediately after the appliance removal the teeth are particularly prone to relapse (a tendency to return to their former positions), and Dr J may require the patient to wear a removable retainer for the first 3 months, where after the patient is weaned off it.
In the lower arch a fixed bonded retainer (wire) may be bonded to the inside of the front teeth and may be left until a period of stability has been reached and growth has stabilized (normally 18 – 21 years of age or a minimum of 2 years if treatment started after 18 year of age).
This protocol varies from patient to patient, and sometimes see-thru aligners (or other retainers) may be used.

Precision Orthodontics is such a great team. Very skilled and passionate about the work they do. It showed in my results, and also throughout the course of my treatment in all aspects, from the harmonious environment to the support, dedication, and commitment received by all. The treatment felt effortless and non-invasive while connecting with great people who know everything there is to know about their field. Special thanks to Inke who made the process even more comforting through a pandemic, managing any challenges or concerns along the way.

The team at Precision Orthodontics is equal parts kind and professional. Perfectionists who are passionate about people. As someone who wanted to get braces quite late in life, I honestly dreaded starting the journey. The Precision Orthodontics team made the entire process a thousand times worth it. I’m now 2 months away from finishing my treatment and highly recommend them to anyone who is ready to start their journey
