SportingSmiles Teeth Retainers

You will receive an at-home impression kit that includes putty and trays. You simply create a mold of your teeth at home and mail it back to the lab, where technicians use it to craft your custom-fitted retainers.

These retainers are designed primarily to maintain tooth alignment after orthodontic treatment. If you suffer from bruxism or heavy teeth grinding, you may require a thicker, more durable night guard specifically designed to withstand that pressure.

With proper care and daily cleaning, these retainers typically last several months to a year depending on your wear habits. The 1mm thickness is optimized for comfort, but like all dental appliances, they will eventually show signs of wear.

Yes, the custom-molding process accounts for unique dental structures, including bridges or gaps. Because the retainers are molded directly from your impressions, they will fit the specific layout of your mouth.

Rinse them with cool water after each use and gently brush them with a soft toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste. Avoid using hot water, which can warp the plastic, and store them in the provided case when not in use to keep them hygienic.
