Our Story

Making quality retainers accessible to everyone

We started Retainers at Home because we were frustrated by how expensive — and inconvenient — it was to replace a simple clear retainer. So we built a better way.

The problem we set out to solve

After years of orthodontic treatment, millions of people across the UK are told they need to wear a retainer indefinitely to keep their teeth in place. The problem? Retainers wear out, get lost, or break — and replacing a full upper and lower set typically costs £200–£500 through a dentist or orthodontist, requiring multiple appointments.

The retainers themselves are made in a dental lab from a piece of clear plastic that costs a few pounds. The material and the process are identical whether you pay £90 or £500. The difference is almost entirely the clinical overhead, appointment costs, and dental practice margin.

We thought there had to be a better way — and there was. With a simple home impression kit, a proper dental lab, and a straightforward online process, we can offer the same quality retainers for a fraction of the usual price.

Retainers at Home UK dental lab facility

Founded by a dentist

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.

That matters because the hardest part of ordering a retainer online is the impression stage. Our founding dentist built the impression kit process around what a dental lab actually needs to make a well-fitting retainer, then trained the team that reviews every customer's impressions and photos before anything goes into production. The result is a service backed by dental expertise, not just a lab.

Our lab & quality standards

Every retainer is made by our qualified dental technicians in our UK dental lab. We use the same professional pressure-forming equipment and the same Essix PET-G thermoplastic used by orthodontic practices across the UK.

Our technicians individually inspect every impression when it arrives and every finished retainer before it's packaged for dispatch. We don't cut corners — if an impression isn't good enough for an accurate retainer, we contact you before starting production.
