That was the idea when I started Retainers Direct. Retainers from the orthodontist are too expensive and people are too busy to go to into the office. Thank you for the great review. Darren
I love the idea of Retainers Direct. They sent all the materials to make your personal bite impression and send the mold back to them. My perfect fitting clear retainers arrived a few weeks later. Thank you so much!

Thanks Judy for the great review. I am an orthodontist and saw so many people in my office that no longer had retainers. Retainers Direct is an "at home hack" to get affordable retainers without visiting the orthodontist. Darren
I was a little concern if this is going to work. I received my retainer and it does fit good. All you need to do is to watch their Perfect Impressions Instructions Video many times until you feel comfortable. The tip is that you need to put the Impression ALL THE WAY IN then push it up, DON"T MOVE BACK/FORWARD WHILE PUSHING IT UP, then you will be fine. This is a reliable website and very good customer services, highly recommended.

Thank you for the great review! You are right, it is all about getting an accurate impression. Thanks for the tip on communicating with our customers. Darren
I received my impression kit a few weeks ago and was pretty skeptical about getting my retainer made via mail versus in a dentist’s office. After spending $275 for one single retainer in the past, I thought there was no way I’d get a quality product for $79. However, I just received my custom retainer in the mail and not only is it made with a sturdy, durable material, but they sent a really fancy case with it and the dentist even sent me a hand written note thanking me for my service! From start to finish, the whole process has been super fast, and the company has been extremely responsive and quick to let me know the timeline for receiving my retainer. I did a lot of research before choosing Retainers Direct, and after my experience, I’d highly recommend this service!

Thank you so much Tricia for taking time to write this review. I started RD because retainers are too expensive from the orthodontist and I envisioned being able to make professional quality retainers without going to the orthodontist. It has taken us 2 years to dial in the process and I am so pleased it worked out well for you. These are the same retainers all my patients get when they get their braces off. Please tell your friends. Darren Haltom DDS , MS
My original set of retainers weren’t as expected so I contacted Retainers Direct and a representative called me back to understand the problem. Retainers direct then promptly fixed the problem and sent me a new retainer. The customer service is excellent. I am very happy with my new set of retainers and I will be using you again in the future. Thank you

Thanks Monique for your honest review. The process has several steps and each has to be exactly correct to end up with an ideal retainer. we are still learning how to make these predictably without a patient in front of us but we are getting better everyday. Thanks for giving us a second chance and I am so pleased you are happy with your retainers. Darren
The process was quick and easy. Reading previous reviews gave me the impression that making the molds may be somewhat difficult, but it turned out to be exceedingly simple.

Thanks for the great review. I agree that the impression process is pretty simple if you take your time and follow directions. Thanks for giving us a chance. Darren
They weren't even close to the correct size.

I am sorry your retainers did not fit. We make the retainers in the same way all orthodontists make clear retainers. The difference is our retainers are made from the molds you sent us. The difficulty in the process is capturing enough detail from that impression to make an accurate retainer. We offer a 100% money back guarantee because we understand that providing accurate retainers for a fair price is not easy. Please email me at [email protected] so I can make this right. We are a growing family business and are committed to outstanding customer service. Darren Haltom
