When you first complete your Invisalign, you’ll be given a retainer from your dentist. This signals a new step in your routine. If you want to keep that perfect smile that you just achieved, you’ll need to wear your new Invisalign retainer each night. Sometimes though, retainers get lost, or even chewed up by the dog! Where can you get a new one and how much does it cost?
A new Invisalign retainer is great, you’ll get a nice tight-fitting one that will keep your teeth in place and prevent shifting. It will also be free of any bacterial growth. If you’ve been wearing a retainer for a while you might start seeing white spots or the material turning yellow. This means that micro bacteria has been growing on your retainer. Bacteria can weaken the material and cause your retainer to loosen or make the material brittle.
Giving your retainer a daily cleansing will help eliminate bacteria and give your retainer a longer lifespan so you won’t need a new Invisalign retainer right away. The bacteria can grow from the biofilm of your mouth so make sure you keep up with your oral hygiene. The yellowing of a retainer makes it stinky and attracts pets to chew on it. When this happens you’ll need a new Invisalign retainer.
To get a new Invisalign retainer, you can contact your dentist and make an appointment. This means that you’ll have to find time in your busy schedule and hope there’s an open appointment available in the next two weeks. Getting a new retainer from the dentist also means you might need dental insurance and the overall process comes with a big bill. Some dentists will charge between $250 – $900 for a set of retainers depending on your location.
