Your smile is an investment—protect it effortlessly.
You’ve put in the work—braces, aligners, appointments, maybe years of treatment. The transformation is done… or is it?
Many people don’t realize that retention is forever. Teeth have memory, and without a clear retainer, they’ll slowly drift back to their original positions—even years after treatment. Whether you’ve recently finished with aligners or had braces as a teen, a clear retainer is the key to keeping your smile in place for the long haul.
With modern brands like NewSmile, it’s never been easier to order a custom clear retainer from home. No office visit, no fuss—just a fresh tray, made just for you.
Even if you’ve never had braces, your teeth are always subtly moving. Factors like age, jaw changes, pressure from chewing, and nighttime clenching all play a role. For people who’ve had orthodontic work, this shift can undo years of progress.
A few ways your teeth can shift without a retainer:
Front teeth crowding (especially lower teeth)
Widening or narrowing of your bite
Gaps reappearing between teeth
Subtle rotations or tilting
Wearing a clear retainer at night is the simplest and most effective way to prevent that movement—and to keep your smile looking like the day your treatment ended.
Worried about adding something new to your routine? Here’s the good news: clear retainers are designed to fit into real life.
Why people love them:
They’re invisible—wear them while you sleep, and no one knows.
They’re comfortable—custom-molded to your bite.
They’re easy to store and clean—just rinse, brush, and go.
They protect your investment—saving you from repeat treatments down the road.
If your original retainer is lost, cracked, or just needs replacing, NewSmile offers an affordable, dentist-quality option shipped straight to your door.
Like contact lenses or toothbrushes, retainers don’t last forever. Even with good care, they wear out over time. The plastic may warp, get cloudy, or simply lose its snug fit.
Here’s a general guide:
Every 6–12 months: Inspect for signs of wear
Replace if: It no longer fits snugly, is cracked, or smells even after cleaning
Always store it in a ventilated case and avoid hot water or heat exposure
Need a new one now? NewSmile makes it simple to order a replacement online, using a home impression kit for the perfect fit.
Your smile is part of your identity—worth preserving every day, not just after braces. A clear retainer is your low-effort, high-reward way to keep it that way. Whether you’re starting fresh or replacing a worn-out tray, NewSmile offers modern, affordable solutions for long-term smile care.
