As title, I need new night time Invisalign retainers and I’ve just been quoted nearly £800 for new ones!! What the hell, my whole Invisalign treatment was only £3k!

That’s for 3 new sets, they won’t just sell me 1 replacement set, will only sell me the 3!

Has anyone else had this issue?

Has anyone used Retainer Xpress?

I’m panicking now as I don’t have a spare £800 at the moment!

Oh this is interesting nice had my first retainers post Invisalign for about 11 months and I was wondering when to switch. Mostly though because my first ones are fairly rank looking. I’ve started to use a ultrasonic cleaner to clean them but I really dislike how stained they are no hope it’s because I was wearing them 22 hours a day for the first few months and did have the occasional cup of tea in them (what was I thinking). But also wonder if I’m just not cleaning them well enough.

all I found online is don’t change til they’re cracked.

i thought £500 for 3 pairs was standard / well advertised when you signed up though admittedly I though a set was supposed to last 3-5 years. To be honest tho maybe I’ll class them as a 1 year change and buy the £50 version when I’m done

You could try putting them out in the sun to improve the staining

You can definitely move orthodontists - I had to as, like many people I'm sure, live in a different country to where I had mine done. I got a retainer recently for £70. Make sure you're phoning orthodontists not dentists, and just ask for a quote for a removable retainer not something specifically Invisalign.

Agree with pp it's all probably a bit of a swizz as my fixed wire lasted over 20 years!

I was quoted £100 at my orthodontist.
