It’s hard for us to give you an exact price without full assessment by one of our experienced dentists.

written treatment plan and associated cost. Choosing a Specialist Oral Surgeon is a crucial factor in the care and outcome that you receive. Our specialist oral surgeon is committed to provide you with the highest level of care during and after your surgical treatment.

Permanent retainers work great to keep your teeth aligned after fixed braces or Invisalign treatment. While convenient and effective, a broken permanent retainer is something that can happen from time to time.

Fixed retainers are normally provided after fixed braces or Invisalign treatment. Fixed retainers need to be thin because of the aesthetic concerns. The glue that holds the retainers to the teeth can also
deteriorate or even be damaged when the patient eats or even gets their teeth cleaned at the dentist. So don’t panic over broken retainers, but make sure they will be seen by dentist or orthodontist or Emergency Dentist Edinburgh as soon as possible to avoid unwanted dental
