Can you make a new retainer from an old retainer?
Retainers
No, a new retainer cannot be made from an old one. It would be like making a copy of a copy, resulting in a loose fit that wouldn’t effectively hold your teeth in place. However, if you have a model or 3D scan from your dentist, we can use it to create a replacement set of retainers. Our patented self-impression kit is also a simple and accurate way to take impressions for a perfectly fitted retainer
