Once the models have been made to your orthodontist&#8217;s satisfaction, they will then be sent to a lab where your actual retainer will be made. <\/p>    <p>In rare cases, you will not need to do a model of your teeth. This only happens if your orthodontist or dental lab has the <strong>records of your teeth stored in their system<\/strong>, and if your teeth haven&#8217;t shifted out of position. They&#8217;ll then be able to make your new retainers without you even making a physical trip to the office. <\/p>    <p>Note that <strong>all permanent retainers need to be fixed or replaced at a dentist&#8217;s office<\/strong>.

You&#8217;ll most probably also need to get new moulds made of your teeth, which could add to the cost.<\/p>    <p>However, if you do not replace your retainer, your <strong>teeth will shift out of place more quickly<\/strong>, causing you to lose the progress from your orthodontic treatment.<\/p>    <p> So <strong>how can you find affordable retainer replacement<\/strong>? Let&#8217;s find out!<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What&#8217;s the cheapest retainer replacement option?<\/h3>    <p>The cheapest retainer replacement will be the <strong>online method<\/strong>. Many companies are offering affordable retainer replacement at a much lower cost than you would find at the dentist. <\/p>    <p>In many cases, that doesn&#8217;t mean that your online retainers are of inferior quality. These companies offer the cheapest prices thanks to <strong>excluding dentist costs<\/strong> and allowing patients to <strong>make their own teeth moulds<\/strong> at home. <\/p>    <h2 id=\"how-do-i-buy-a-replacement-retainer-online\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" \"replacementretaineronline\">How do I buy a replacement retainer online?<\/h2>    <p>The replacement process usually involves ordering a <strong>tooth impression kit<\/strong> online, making the models of your teeth at home, and sending them back to the company. <span style=\"font-size: revert;background-color: initial\">The company will then use your models to craft your replacement retainers in the lab and send them back to you. <\/span><\/p>    <p><span style=\"font-size: revert;background-color: initial\">Many people prefer the online option since it <strong>doesn&#8217;t include the hassle of visiting the dentist&#8217;s office<\/strong>. Of course, some people rather prefer direct contact with their orthodontist or may find it difficult to make their own teeth models at home. <\/span> <\/p>    <p>It&#8217;s however <strong>only recommended<\/strong> to buy a replacement retainer online if you have gotten the OK from your dentist or orthodontist, and when you use a reputable online company. <strong>Permanent retainers cannot be bought online<\/strong>, since your dentist needs to fix them permanently to your teeth.   <\/p>   <div class=\"wp-block-image\"> <figure class=\"alignright size-medium\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/06\/retainer-case-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"buy replacement retainer online\" class=\"wp-image-13587\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/06\/retainer-case-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/06\/retainer-case-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/06\/retainer-case.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Essix and Hawley retainers are among some of the most popular online options.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>   <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Essix online replacement retainer <\/h3>    <p>As previously mentioned, Essix retainers are the original clear, plastic retainers.
