Finished with braces or aligners? Keeping that straight smile is what lasts.
Clear retainers don’t have one universal expiration date. Depending on how often you wear yours, whether you grind your teeth, exposure to heat, and normal wear on the material, it may last several years—or need replacement within 6–12 months.
If a retainer feels loose, warped, cracked, or no longer fits properly, it may not be doing its job. At Sweet Water Dentistry, we can help patients check their retainer fit and protect their orthodontic results.
