I lost my container over a year ago. My teeth have shifted, can I get a new one since it's been that long? (photos)

Question

I think I lost my retainer about two years ago. My teeth had shifted since I got my braces off. I was wondering if a new retainer could be made to shift my teeth back?

I agree with Dr. Broome. You can have our dentist re-order aligners at a minimal charge. Sharde Harvey.

Patrick Broome, DMD · Answer

Great question! It is possible to order replacement aligners and retainers. If the relapse has been very minor it may be worth ordering a replacement retainer and see if it solves your issue. If the relapse is more advanced I would suggest Invisalign Express 5 or Express 10.  Express is either 5 or 10 aligners that can be used to correct situations such as relapse for a lower cost than the Full Invisalign product. Express has some limitations not found in the Full Invisalign product so talk with your dentist and find out what is the best option for you. The relapse correction will be less costly and easier to treat the sooner you deal with it. All the best!
