Looking into getting a new retainer from your orthodontist? It can be quite costly, along with a few obligations, in order to receive one. Unfortunately, replacing a lost or broken retainer is crucial to keep your teeth in place after they have been shifted professionally by your orthodontist. A new retainer from your orthodontist can cost anywhere from $500 to $1,200, depending on your location and a few other factors. The good news is that there are other ways to get a replacement retainer.
After your teeth have been shifted by braces or aligners, your dentist will give you a retainer. This tight-fitting plastic device will cover your teeth while you sleep and keep them in place. You’ll be required to wear a retainer the rest of your life because teeth have a habit called “elastic memory”. This means that they will continue to try to shift back to their natural position, no matter how long it has been since you had braces or aligners.
If you lose your retainer, break it, or if it is just too gross to wear, you’ll need to replace it. Going back to the orthodontist for a retainer will cost you between $500 – $1,200 depending on where you live. If you live in rural areas, you’ll pay between $500 and $700. Living in big cities like Los Angeles, New York, or Chicago will result in your new retainer costing upward of $1,000. That’s a huge bill, and besides the cost, you’ll have to take time out of your busy schedule to go to the orthodontist in person. You might even be required to get new X-rays, schedule a cleaning, or have dental insurance to get a replacement retainer. All of that can be a massive headache and a hit to your bank account.
