Retainer Repair in Tampa, FL

Keep Your Smile in Place

Your retainer plays a critical role in protecting your smile after orthodontic treatment—but life happens. Whether it’s cracked, bent, lost, or no longer fitting like it used to, we’re here to help with quick, judgment-free retainer repairs and replacements.

At Smile, Co., we serve patients across Tampa, Tampa Palms, Hunters Green, and Pebble Creek, providing fast solutions so your smile stays right where you want it.

When to Schedule a Retainer Repair

You should book a repair appointment if your retainer is:

• Cracked or chipped
  
• Warped from heat or cleaning
  
• Bent out of shape
  
• Loose or uncomfortable
  
• Missing altogether
  

The longer you wait, the higher the chance your teeth may start to shift. If you’ve completed Invisalign or braces, we recommend acting quickly to avoid needing retreatment.

We also provide maintenance for patients currently undergoing Invisalign and offer long-term guidance for smile makeover patients who’ve invested in cosmetic results they want to preserve.

What to Expect

Retainer repair is typically fast and straightforward:

1. Evaluation – We check your retainer and make sure your teeth haven’t shifted.
   
2. On-the-spot repairs – For small cracks or warps, we’ll repair in-house if possible.
   
3. Replacement options – If the retainer can’t be salvaged, we’ll take digital impressions for a new one.
   
4. Fitting + instructions – We make sure your repaired or new retainer fits comfortably and stays secure.
   

In most cases, we can offer same-day or next-day turnaround to keep you on track.

Retainer Replacement Options

If your retainer is beyond repair or completely lost, we’ll guide you through replacement options:

• Hawley retainers – Acrylic and wire design, durable and adjustable
  
• Essix retainers – Clear, tray-style retainers similar to Invisalign
  
• Bonded retainers – Fixed wire behind the teeth for long-term retention
  

We'll recommend the best type based on your orthodontic history and lifestyle.
