Why is a check-up of your bonded retainers important?

Your bonded retainer is made of a wire covered with composite material, which naturally wears down over time, especially where it rubs against certain teeth (particularly the upper retainer). As the composite material becomes thinner, it can eventually detach from some teeth, causing them to shift and affecting your overall alignment.

A yearly check-up ensures that the composite layer remains intact and thick enough to keep your teeth in place, preventing unwanted movement and protecting your beautiful smile.
