Custom Removable Retainers

Custom clear retainers are crafted from high-quality, durable materials, ensuring a perfect fit and long-lasting protection for your teeth. They are designed to be virtually invisible, offering a discreet way to maintain your smile after orthodontic treatment.

Custom clear retainers are designed to hold your teeth in their corrected positions after orthodontic treatment. They prevent teeth from shifting back to their original places, ensuring the longevity of your orthodontic results.

Retainers are made from a premium, dental-grade plastic that is both durable and clear. This material is chosen for its strength, clarity, and comfort, providing an optimal fit while being nearly invisible when worn.

Ordering is simple. You'll receive an impression kit to create molds of your teeth at home. Once you send back your impressions, we'll use them to craft your custom clear retainers, ensuring a perfect fit for your mouth.

Yes, custom clear retainers are suitable for anyone who has completed orthodontic treatment and wants to maintain their new smile. They are designed to accommodate any dental work and can be customized to fit any mouth shape.

Maintaining good hygiene for your custom retainer is crucial to prevent bacteria buildup, odors, and potential oral health issues. There are two recommended methods for cleaning your retainer effectively:

1. Ultrasonic Cleaning - Using an ultrasonic cleaner, like the one offered by Remi, is the most thorough and efficient way to clean your retainer.
2. Manual Cleaning - If you don't have an ultrasonic cleaner, you can manually clean your retainer by rinsing it with warm water after each use.

Regardless of the cleaning method, always allow your custom retainer to air dry completely before storing it in a clean, well-ventilated case. Proper care and regular cleaning will help extend the lifespan of your retainer and maintain optimal oral hygiene.

With proper care, your custom clear retainer can last several months to several years. However, it's important to replace your retainer if it becomes damaged or worn out to continue protecting your orthodontic investment.

Custom clear retainers are priced competitively, offering a cost-effective solution to maintain your orthodontic results. Investing in a custom retainer can save you from future orthodontic adjustments and treatments.

The need to wear retainers on both the upper and lower teeth depends on your specific orthodontic treatment and the recommendation of your orthodontist. In many cases, wearing retainers on both arches ensures the best results.

While primarily designed to maintain teeth alignment, custom clear retainers also provide a layer of protection against the effects of teeth grinding or clenching, helping to protect your teeth and restorations.

A proper fit is essential for a custom clear retainer to function effectively and comfortably. If you notice that your retainer doesn't fit as expected, there are a few steps you can take:

• Check the Instructions: Carefully review the instructions provided by the manufacturer or your orthodontist. There may be specific guidelines on how to properly seat the retainer or adjust it for a better fit.
• Give It Time: Sometimes, it takes a few days or even a week for your mouth to adjust to the new retainer. If the fit is only slightly off, try wearing it consistently for a short period to see if it improves.
• Contact the Provider: If the retainer continues to feel loose, tight, or uncomfortable after following the instructions and giving it some time, reach out to the provider or orthodontist who made the retainer. Reputable providers typically offer adjustments or remakes to ensure a perfect fit.
• Consider a Remake: In some cases, a new impression or mold may be required to create a new custom retainer that fits your mouth correctly. This is especially important if your teeth have shifted significantly since the original impressions were taken.
• Consult Your Orthodontist: If you're still experiencing fit issues after trying the above steps, schedule an appointment with your orthodontist. They can evaluate the fit, identify any potential issues, and recommend the best course of action, whether it's adjusting the existing retainer or creating a new one.
