FAQ

Common Questions About Clear Retainers

Everything you need to know about ordering your custom retainers. Can't find what you're looking for? Our team is here to help.

View All FAQs Contact Support

Is Retainers at Home dentist owned?

Yes. Retainers at Home is dentist owned and dentist designed. Our impression process was developed by a dentist, working directly with our UK dental lab, and every member of our team is trained by a dentist to review impressions and photos. A dentist is on hand to support the team on any case that needs a closer look.

How do I take dental impressions at home?

It's simpler than you'd think. Mix the included putty, press the tray to your teeth for 3–4 minutes, and let it set. Our video guide walks you through every step. Takes about 10 minutes total.

How long will my retainers last?

With proper care, clear Essix retainers typically last 8–18 months. We recommend replacing every 12 months for optimal hygiene and fit.

What if my retainers don't fit?

We offer a 60-day fit guarantee. If they don't fit correctly, contact us within 60 days and we'll remake them at no charge.

Do I need a retainer after braces?

Yes, wearing a retainer after braces is essential. Without one, teeth begin shifting back toward their original positions within weeks. We supply custom clear retainers directly to post-brace and post-Invisalign patients across the UK, with no dentist appointment needed.

Are your retainers an alternative to Vivera retainers?

Yes. Vivera retainers (made by Invisalign) cost £400–£600 through a provider. Our custom clear Essix retainers are made from medical-grade Essix PET-G in our UK dental lab, from £69. They do the same job of holding your teeth in position, at a fraction of the price.
