For a set, you can pay anywhere from $150 to $800. To narrow down the price range, it helps to take a look at specific brands, like Invisalign (Vivera) or Essix retainers. <\/p>    <h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Invisalign replacement retainer cost<\/h4>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is no fixed price for <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/adult-braces\/teeth-retainers\/vivera-retainers\/\" target=\"_blank\">Vivera retainers<\/a> (Invisalign retainers), but you can purchase them in sets of four, which helps bring the price down a bit. For a set of four Vivera retainers, you can expect to pay anywhere from $400 to $1,000. These are some of the most affordable retainers available, and they also tend to be quite durable. <\/p>    <h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Essix retainer replacement cost<\/h4>   <div class=\"wp-block-image\"> <figure class=\"alignright size-medium\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2023\/02\/sporting-smiles-clear-retainers-set-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"retainer replacement cost \" class=\"wp-image-42314\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Cost of retainers online will vary<\/figcaption><\/figure> <\/div>   <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/adult-braces\/teeth-retainers\/essix-retainer\/\" target=\"_blank\">Essix retainers<\/a> are the original clear plastic retainer and these can cost anywhere from $50 to $200 per set if you get them from the dentist.

Generally, however, to get a replacement retainer, your orthodontist will need a model of your teeth to work from. <\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This can be made with the traditional molding putty, or with 3D scans, which tend to be more accurate. These models of your teeth will then be sent to a lab where your actual retainer will be made. <\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are also a growing number of online options for <strong>retainer replacement<\/strong>. You can get clear plastic retainers and Hawley retainers online. This process usually involves ordering a tooth impression kit online, making the models of your teeth at home, and sending them back to the company. <\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They will then use your models to craft your replacement retainers in the lab and send them back to you. Many people like this option because it doesn&#8217;t require them to leave their home, while others prefer direct contact with their orthodontist, or may find it difficult to make their own impressions at home. <\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have a permanent retainer, then you&#8217;ll need to get your retainer replaced or fixed by your orthodontist. Don&#8217;t try to fix your permanent retainer at home! <\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many orthodontists recommend that a patient come to the office for a new impression to be made for a replacement retainer, regardless of how long the patient has been without it. <\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A new impression will record the most accurate image of the mouth, including any changes in restorations and minor or severe occlusion shifts. This eliminates the need for most post-manufacture changes and ensures that the appliance sits comfortably.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the video below, Doctor Ty summarizes the process for getting a replacement retainer from your orthodontist: <\/p>    <figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\"><div style=\"display: contents;\" > \t\t\t<div data-mode=\"normal\" data-oembed=\"1\" data-provider=\"youtube\" id=\"arve-youtube-i6mpxjckz_s\" class=\"arve\"> \t\t\t\t<div class=\"arve-inner\"> \t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"arve-embed arve-embed--has-aspect-ratio\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"arve-ar\" style=\"padding-top:56.250000%\"><\/div> \t\t\t<iframe allow=\"accelerometer &apos;none&apos;;autoplay &apos;none&apos;;bluetooth &apos;none&apos;;browsing-topics &apos;none&apos;;camera &apos;none&apos;;clipboard-read &apos;none&apos;;clipboard-write;display-capture &apos;none&apos;;encrypted-media &apos;none&apos;;gamepad &apos;none&apos;;geolocation &apos;none&apos;;gyroscope &apos;none&apos;;hid &apos;none&apos;;identity-credentials-get &apos;none&apos;;idle-detection &apos;none&apos;;keyboard-map &apos;none&apos;;local-fonts;magnetometer &apos;none&apos;;microphone &apos;none&apos;;midi &apos;none&apos;;otp-credentials &apos;none&apos;;payment &apos;none&apos;;picture-in-picture;publickey-credentials-create &apos;none&apos;;publickey-credentials-get &apos;none&apos;;screen-wake-lock &apos;none&apos;;serial &apos;none&apos;;summarizer &apos;none&apos;;sync-xhr;usb &apos;none&apos;;web-share;window-management &apos;none&apos;;xr-spatial-tracking &apos;none&apos;;\" allowfullscreen=\"\" class=\"arve-iframe fitvidsignore\" credentialless data-arve=\"arve-youtube-i6mpxjckz_s\" data-lenis-prevent=\"\" data-src-no-ap=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/i6mpxjcKZ_s?feature=oembed&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;modestbranding=1&amp;rel=0&amp;autohide=1&amp;playsinline=0&amp;autoplay=0\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"0\" loading=\"lazy\" name=\"\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-presentation allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/i6mpxjcKZ_s?feature=oembed&#038;iv_load_policy=3&#038;modestbranding=1&#038;rel=0&#038;autohide=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autoplay=0\" title=\"\" width=\"0\"><\/iframe> \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div> \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div> \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div> \t\t\t <\/div><\/figure>    <h2 id=\"how-much-does-it-cost-to-replace-a-retainer-online\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" \"retainers-online\">How much does it cost to replace a retainer online?<\/h2>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can buy replacement retainers online starting at just $99.
