Retainers in Bangkok from 2,800 THB
La Posh Dental Clinic · Bangna and Ram Inthra-Ratchada · Open daily 10:30–19:30
Why do I need a retainer?
After braces come off, the bone and gums around the roots still need time to settle, so teeth tend to drift back. A retainer holds them in the new position. Without it, or with irregular wear, teeth can relapse and you may need second-round orthodontics.

How a retainer is made
- Exam of your bite and choice of retainer type
- Impression or digital scan
- Fabrication – a temporary clear retainer can be worn while you wait
- Fitting, adjustment and instructions on wear and cleaning
- Follow-up visits as advised
How long do I need to wear it?
Right after treatment you usually wear it most of the day, then reduce to night-time wear as the dentist advises. Teeth can move throughout life, so many dentists recommend long-term night-time wear.
Retainer care
- Rinse in cool or lukewarm water and brush gently every day – never use hot water
- Take it out before eating or drinking anything coloured or sugary
- Always keep it in its case, not wrapped in a tissue, and away from pets
- Contact the clinic quickly if it breaks, gets lost or feels unusually tight

Do I really need a retainer after braces?
Yes. It keeps your teeth in their new position. Without it, teeth may move back.
I lost or broke my retainer. What should I do?
Contact the clinic for a new impression or scan as soon as possible. A temporary clear retainer (1,200 THB) can be made while you wait.
I had braces elsewhere. Can you make my retainer?
Yes. The dentist checks your current tooth position first. If teeth have moved a lot, they may need straightening again before a retainer is made.
My retainer feels tight after I forgot to wear it. What now?
If it still fits, wear it consistently and book a check. If it will not go in, do not force it – contact the clinic.
Clear or wire retainer – which is better?
It depends. Clear retainers are less visible; wire retainers are durable and adjustable. The dentist will advise based on your teeth and habits.
