A simple routine, a lifetime of results.
You’ve finished your orthodontic treatment—braces or aligners—and your teeth look great. But without a retainer? They won’t stay that way.
A clear retainer is a custom-made, transparent tray designed to hold your teeth in place post-treatment. It’s minimal, discreet, and easy to wear—especially overnight.
Unlike traditional wire retainers, clear retainers blend into your lifestyle. No metal. No extra bulk. Just simple, effective retention that helps you protect the investment you made in your smile.
And thanks to brands like NewSmile, you can now get high-quality clear retainers delivered to your home—without visiting an orthodontist’s office.
Skipping your retainer for “just a few nights” may seem harmless—but your teeth start shifting surprisingly fast. In fact, studies show that within just a few weeks of not wearing a retainer, small changes can start to occur.
Here’s what consistent retainer use prevents:
Teeth shifting back to their original positions
Jaw misalignment or bite discomfort
The need for repeat orthodontic treatment
Gaps reappearing between teeth
Wear on new dental work like veneers or bonding
Wearing a clear retainer becomes just another part of your wellness routine—like brushing or moisturizing. Plus, they’re easy to care for and store.
Wearing a retainer doesn’t mean giving up your lifestyle. Here’s what most people love about clear retainers:
They’re invisible. Great for nighttime selfies? Maybe not. Great for sleep and confidence? Absolutely.
They’re custom-fit. No slipping, no irritation. Just comfort.
They’re easy to clean. Rinse, brush gently, and go.
They travel well. Just toss the case in your overnight bag and you're set.
If you’ve just finished orthodontic treatment or you’ve lost your original retainer, NewSmile makes it easy to order a new one from home—no office visit required.
The best routines are the ones that don’t feel like work. Here’s how to build a stress-free retainer habit:
Wear it nightly—set a reminder or pair it with brushing/flossing
Clean it gently each morning to prevent buildup
Store it properly in a ventilated case to avoid cracking
Replace it as needed—many people order a new set every 6–12 months

Your smile deserves long-term care, and clear retainers are one of the easiest ways to make that happen. With lifestyle-first solutions like NewSmile, keeping your teeth aligned and confident doesn’t require appointments, wires, or stress—just a little consistency and the right fit.
