Your SureSmile Retention Programme

After your FDA-approved SureSmile treatment is complete, we implement a structured retention programme:

2. Transition Phase: Gradually reducing to night-time wear only, typically after 6 months.


3. Long-term Maintenance: Continued night-time wear to ensure permanent results.


4. Periodic Retainer Checks: Regular assessment of retainer condition and fit.

Benefits of Proper Post-SureSmile Care

• Preserved Results: Maintains the alignment achieved during your SureSmile treatment.


• Protected Investment: Ensures your time and financial commitment to treatment remains worthwhile.


• Enhanced Oral Health: Properly aligned teeth are easier to clean, reducing risk of decay and gum disease.

Caring for Your SureSmile Retainers

To maximise the lifespan of your retainers:

• Daily Cleaning: Gentle brushing with cool water and non-abrasive toothpaste.


• Proper Storage: Always keep retainers in their protective case when not in use.


• Avoid Heat: Keep away from hot water, direct sunlight, and hot environments.


• Regular Soaking: Use recommended cleaning solutions to prevent bacterial buildup.

At London Dental Specialists, we believe that effective post-treatment care is as important as the SureSmile treatment itself. Our comprehensive aftercare programme ensures your new smile remains beautiful, functional, and healthy for years to come. We're committed to supporting you throughout your entire orthodontic experience, from initial consultation through long-term retention.
