What is the replacement retainer process?
The replacement retainer process includes 3 steps: order an impression kit, return your impressions, and receive your custom retainer after fabrication.
Order an impression kit
Start by ordering your Caspersmile replacement retainer online. Your order includes an at-home impression kit with trays, putty, instructions, and return materials, so you can complete the process without visiting a dental office.
Submit your impressions
Follow the included instructions to take impressions of your upper and lower teeth at home. Once complete, send your completed impressions back to us using the provided return packaging. The dental laboratory reviews them to ensure they are suitable for fabrication.
Fabrication and delivery
After impression approval, technicians fabricate custom retainers from a durable, transparent material designed for long-term retention. The completed retainer ships directly to your home.

How accurate is the fit of an online replacement retainer?
The fit of an online replacement retainer can be highly accurate when your at-home impressions clearly capture your current tooth position. Your impressions are used to create a custom retainer designed to fit your teeth and maintain their alignment.
Who is a good candidate for an at-home retainer?
A good candidate for an at-home retainer is someone who has completed orthodontic treatment and whose teeth have remained stable. It can be a convenient option if you need to replace a lost, damaged, or worn retainer. At-home retainers are designed to maintain your current alignment, not correct tooth movement.
When should you see a dentist before replacing your retainer?
An at-home replacement retainer may not be suitable if your teeth have shifted, your old retainer no longer fits, or you have an untreated dental concern. In these situations, a dentist or orthodontist should check your teeth first to determine whether you need treatment before getting a new retainer.
You should seek professional evaluation if you have:
-
Noticeable tooth movement since your last retainer
-
A retainer that no longer fits properly
-
Pain or significant discomfort when wearing your retainer
-
Untreated cavities, gum problems, or damaged teeth
-
Ongoing orthodontic treatment or incomplete treatment
