There are a few different kinds of retainers but they all are crafted to do the same task and that’s to keep your teeth in place. After you’ve had braces or aligners to shift your teeth into the perfect position you’ll need to wear a retainer the rest of your life. You want to protect your teeth from shifting, but you also want a perfect white smile. Is there a whitening retainer? Here are the benefits of one and where you can find the best one.
Up until the 1990s, the most popular retainer was a Hawley retainer. It was wired and adjustable. Every few months your dentist would inspect it and make any necessary adjustments or tweaks to it. It did the job of keeping your teeth in place, but the bottom line is that it was a little uncomfortable, and a breeding ground for bacteria due to all the food particles that would get trapped in it. That’s when the dental industry switched to the clear retainer. Can one of these be used as a whitening retainer?
A retainer is a clear, thin piece of plastic that snaps onto your teeth at night and encases your entire smile. When worn, people will barely be able to notice it. Some people even wear them during the day for extra protection against shifting. After all, the more you wear it the better your teeth will be protected. Typically, you would get one from your dentist after completing braces or aligners but is there one that works to whiten your teeth? The answer is a bit complicated for a whitening retainer, but it is possible.

When you wear a whitening retainer, it will snap onto your teeth very tightly. You could put whitening gel into the retainer and then wear it, but you’ll run into two issues. The first is that the gel will shoot up over the retainer due to it being so tight. When this happens, it will spread onto your gums and potentially damage them. Whitening gel is not supposed to touch gums due to this reason.
The other reason why a whitening retainer isn’t suggested is because of how whitening gel works. It needs oxygen to be activated and when a retainer is tight, there isn’t a lot of oxygen reaching the gel making it less potent. Again, you could try to wear a retainer with whitening gel but because of these two reasons, you won’t get an effective treatment but there is good news.
SportingSmiles has been crafting both retainers and whitening trays since 2009 for over one million people worldwide. If you need a whitening retainer, we suggest that you order retainers, and then add-on whitening trays to your order.
