Retainer is a brand that produces custom-made orthodontic retainers to help maintain the position of teeth after orthodontic treatment. The brand uses advanced 3D printing technology to create highly accurate and quality retainers tailored to each customer's dental specifications.
- Retainer was founded in 2014 in the United States.
- The brand's founders, orthodontist Dr. Darryl Engel and computer engineer James Schmondiuk, decided to create a more efficient and affordable way to produce orthodontic retainers using 3D printing technology.
- Since then, the brand has grown in popularity and expanded its product line to include a variety of retainers such as clear retainers, invisible aligners, and night guards.
ClearCorrect is a brand that produces clear aligners to straighten teeth. They offer similar products to Retainer but focus more on teeth straightening rather than maintenance.
Invisalign is a well-known brand that produces clear aligners for teeth straightening. They focus on a wider range of orthodontic treatment solutions than Retainer.
SmileDirectClub is a direct-to-consumer brand that produces clear aligners. They offer a more affordable alternative to traditional orthodontic treatment and focus mainly on teeth straightening.
Clear retainers are designed to maintain the position of teeth after orthodontic treatment. They are made of a clear plastic material that is nearly invisible when worn.
Invisible aligners are an alternative to traditional metal braces for teeth straightening. They are made of a clear plastic material that is nearly invisible when worn.
Night guards are designed to protect teeth from grinding or clenching during sleep. They are made of a custom-fit plastic material that is comfortable to wear.
The process of getting a Retainer involves ordering a kit online, taking impressions of your teeth, and sending them back to Retainer. The brand then uses advanced 3D printing technology to create a custom-made retainer tailored to your dental specifications.
It typically takes around 10-14 business days to produce and ship your custom-made Retainer.
Yes, Retainers are designed to be comfortable to wear and fit securely in your mouth. You may experience some slight discomfort at first as your mouth adjusts to the retainer, but this should go away after a few days.
No, you should not wear your Retainer while eating as this can damage the retainer and compromise its effectiveness.
The length of time you need to wear your Retainer will depend on your specific orthodontic needs. Your orthodontist will provide guidance on how long you should wear your Retainer.
