Our
Retainer Programs
Your smile is an investment, protect it for life.
RETAINERS
Retainers are a key part of your orthodontic journey, helping maintain the beautiful results you've worked hard to achieve. A full set of retainers are included with all full treatment, braces or Invisalign. We offer convenient same-day retainer options using advanced in-house 3D printing technology, so you can leave your appointment with the protection your smile needs. To make ongoing care easier and more affordable, we also offer our discounted Retainer Plus program and a flexible retainer subscription plan, giving you peace of mind and long-term smile security.
Digital Scan
At Orthodontic Specialists, we use advanced iTero digital scanners to create a precise 3D image of your teeth—no messy impression molds required. This quick, comfortable scan captures every detail with incredible accuracy, allowing us to design custom retainers and aligners that fit perfectly. It’s a cleaner, faster, and more comfortable experience from start to finish.
3D-printed
At Orthodontic Specialists, we use cutting-edge 3D printing technology to create ultra-precise molds for your retainers, all done in-house. Once your digital scan is complete, we print a custom mold and form your retainer directly over it for the perfect fit. This advanced process ensures faster turnaround times—often same or next day—and delivers a high-quality, comfortable retainer designed to keep your smile exactly where it should be.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Retainers
Why do I need to wear a retainer after braces or Invisalign?
Retainers keep your teeth in their new positions after orthodontic treatment. Without one, teeth can slowly shift back, undoing your hard work and results.
How long do I need to wear my retainer?
We recommend wearing your retainer every night indefinitely. Teeth naturally shift over time, and nightly wear helps maintain your perfect smile for life.
Are retainers included with my treatment?
Yes! A full set of retainers is included with all full treatments—whether you choose braces or Invisalign—so you can start protecting your smile right away.
What happens if I lose or break my retainer?
If your retainer is lost or damaged, contact us right away. Thanks to our in-house 3D printing technology, we can often replace it the same or next day.
What is the Retainer Plus Program?
Retainer Plus is our affordable protection plan that includes four full extra sets of retainers (upper and lower). It ensures you always have a backup if retainers are lost, damaged, or worn out.
How much does the Retainer Plus Program cost?
When you sign up during treatment, it’s just $756—that’s 50% off the normal price. After treatment, the program costs $856, compared to the standard $1,512 if purchased separately.
Can I sign up for Retainer Plus after my treatment is finished?
Yes! While it’s most cost-effective to sign up during treatment, you can still join afterward for continued protection and peace of mind.
What is a retainer subscription plan?
Our flexible subscription plan allows you to receive new retainers automatically at scheduled intervals. It’s a convenient way to keep your smile secure without worrying about wear and tear.
What types of retainers do you offer?
We offer a variety of custom retainers, including clear removable retainers and fixed (bonded) options. Your orthodontist will help you choose what’s best for your needs and lifestyle.
How are your retainers made?
Using advanced iTero digital scanning and in-house 3D printing, we create perfectly fitted retainers without messy impressions. Most patients receive their retainers the same or next day.
How should I clean my retainer?
Clean your retainer daily using a soft toothbrush and mild soap or a recommended retainer cleaner. Avoid hot water—it can warp the material.
What should I do if my retainer feels tight?
A tight retainer may mean your teeth have shifted slightly. Wear it as directed and contact our office. We’ll evaluate the fit and determine if an adjustment or replacement is needed.
Can I use my retainer to whiten my teeth?
No, retainers are not designed for whitening and should not be used with whitening gels. Ask us about our professional whitening options for a bright post-treatment smile.
How long do retainers typically last?
With proper care, retainers can last several years. However, since materials wear down over time, we recommend periodic replacements to ensure a secure, accurate fit.
Why choose Orthodontic Specialists for my retainers?
