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.

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”.

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.
