Mom, I lost my retainer at lunch…

Kids who wear removable retainers must take them out to eat, and with the socializing and distractions of a school lunchroom, we’d probably forget them at least once ourselves. Many of them are also clear, which looks nice for a smile, but makes them hard to find on trays, countertops, etc.


The good news is those days are long over now that we have 3D printing. We make retainers in-house, from scanned models of your child’s teeth that we keep on file. This process makes retainers much more affordable than back in the day, with faster turnarounds.


It’s why we can offer lifetime retainers: you can get replacements anytime you need them. The program starts off with two sets of clear retainers for a low initial fee and a small copay thereafter. We also offer the program to patients who have had treatment elsewhere. It’s good dental care and peace of mind.


Moms of a certain age might remember the trauma of having to dig through the cafeteria trash for a missing retainer. Thankfully, those days are over!
