Retainers are crucial in keeping your teeth from shifting. When you’ve had orthodontic work completed like braces or aligners, your dentist will craft you a retainer to wear afterward. This retainer needs to be worn every night to keep your teeth in place. If you sleep without one, your teeth will shift back ruining all the time and money spent. If you lose yours, where can you get a temporary retainer?
You have a few options for getting a replacement or temporary retainer. Going back to the dentist to get one crafted is a choice but you’ll be paying a lot out of pocket. Retainers from the dentist can cost anywhere from $500 to $1,100 depending on where you live. If you live in big cities like Chicago, New York, or Los Angeles, you can expect them in the $800+ range. Living in small rural areas can still be pricey. Temporary retainers from dentists in those locations can cost anywhere from $400 – $700.
Besides the high cost, getting a temporary retainer from the dentist won’t be quick. You’ll have to make an appointment which could be months out from an opening. They might require you to have dental insurance, get X-rays, or pay new patient fees. All those make the dentist not an ideal choice when you need a new retainer.

Having a backup set of retainers is always a great idea in case you lose your primary set. Sometimes you lose them, sometimes they break, or sometimes a pet might chew them up! If you have a backup set, you’ll have a temporary retainer on hand to keep your teeth protected while you can get a new set crafted.
These temporary retainers are the exact same premium material that the ones from your dentist would craft. Made by dental lab experts with the most advanced technology, these retainers will be tight-fitting and fresh. They’ll snap onto your teeth and keep any micromovements from occurring.
While you might be ordering a temporary retainer, it’s not a temporary duty. You’ll need to wear it every night to prevent teeth shifting. Teeth have this incredible feature called “elastic memory”. This means that they will always want to return to their natural position which causes shifting if they are professionally moved by a dentist. Keep your teeth protected and wear a retainer every night! If you don’t all the money and time that you’ve spent achieving that perfect smile will be wasted. Keep your smile in check with a retainer from SportingSmiles.
