    I’m obsessed with me order! The customer service is reliable and fast.

    I am going to write a detailed review about my order. This is the second hawley retainers I have ordered at Bracesshop. But now I have 4 wisdom teeth added to the new hawley retainers.
    The order (upper and lower Hawley retainers with wisdom teeth and has no labial bows) arrived safely and in good condition. The ordering process takes about 5 weeks (including impression kit)
    The first few days were of course a bit of getting used to. My speech was good right away, which certainly surprised. A small downside is that my tissue at the back of my jaw became sensitive and it turned out to be a small sharp piece of acrylic. So I smoothed that out and since then I have not had any problems! In some places it was a bit tight, but luckily you get used to that quickly. But that does mean that they stay in place! They also do not move in my mouth.
    It took 5 days to get used to it. I wear them every day, even at work. I can also eat with them. I have to say that the wisdom teeth are super realistic in my mouth and the wisdom tooth shade (A3) matches my natural teeth super well! And the gum color acrylic makes it so natural. The braces themselves are well and strongly made for daily use, even the wisdom teeth are firmly attached! The wisdom teeth rest well on my gums, luckily I have room for that in my jaws. Now that I’m used to it, the wisdom teeth braces feel very nice and good! I also assume that they will last a long time and that is also what I hope.
    I have to say that I am super happy with it and that I really enjoy wearing it! Every day with pleasure! Because I had been looking forward to having a complete set of teeth for a long time (32 teeth and molars). Now I am really happier with my teeth! And it even makes me more self-confident. I am really super grateful and I will always remain a customer of yours! Bracesshop must exist forever! Keep up the great work!! And I think it’s really special that you can make this for me (I also think you haven’t experienced this to make this) Again I’m very happy with it. Thank you so much Bracesshop! Thanks to you this is possible!
    Greetings from the happy customer,
    Femke.

    Great product

    I normally wear an Essix type clear retainer, but I had the feeling that it didn’t let my teeth move into place to have a perfect byte.
    Since I wear this new Harley retainer the teeth have been allowed to move just a little bit to improve the byte, but the alignment remains perfect.
    Also, as it turns out, my boyfriend loves when I wear it, including the light lisp I have with it.

  3. Eric (verified owner) –

    Excellent

    Very satisfied with my order. The braces are beautiful (the upper one fits perfectly, the lower one needs some slight adaptation – a matter of a few days). Despite the festive season, service was prompt. The seller’s responsiveness was excellent. I’ll be ordering again for sure!

    Thanks j.

    Wonderful work

    I had braces three times in my life (at 15, at 26 and at 36) and I’ve always loved this feeling of having metal (or retainers) in your mouth. It was my first order, and I’m pretty sure it won'(t be the last !
    The retainers fits very well, no pain and are very well made. I’m a (very) happy customer wearing proudly my nice retainers !!!

  6. Kunde (verified owner) –

    Die ideale Spange für den Alltag. Dezent aber toll in Wirkung und Optik. Habe bei der Unterkiefer Spange noch Pelotten anbringen lassen. Unbedingt empfehlenswert

    Mir geht es genauso. Ich liebte das Spangengefühl während meiner Behandlung. Daran erinnern mich heute noch die Retainer. Die ideale Spange für den Alltag. Diskret aber toll in Wirkung und Optik. Habe bei der Unterkiefer Spange noch Pelotten anbringen lassen. Unbedingt empfehlenswert!

    Ausserordentlich gute Passform

    Ich liebe diesen Retainer sehr, weil er mich an meine frühere Behandlung erinnert. Gerne wollte ich dieses Gefühl wieder haben. Der Retainer ist langlebig gebaut und hochwertig.

  8. Calvin (verified owner) –

    Exellent

    I used to love my braces in my orthodontic treatment, so I decided to buy a retainer (top and bottom) to have the same feeling in my mouth. I am very surprised of the quality of my appliance. Thank you so much Bracesshop

Retainers

  • Which retainer type is best for me?

    Each retainer type has its own advantages, depending on your needs and preferences:

    Clear Retainers (Essix type):
    These are made from transparent plastic and fit snugly over your teeth, making them virtually invisible. They are comfortable and easy to wear, but may need to be replaced more often due to natural wear over time. Ideal if you prefer a discreet, modern look and don’t mind replacing them occasionally.

    Hawley Retainers:
    A classic and durable option made with an acrylic base and a thin metal wire across the front teeth. They’re adjustable and long-lasting, and allow the bite to “settle” naturally after orthodontic treatment. Slight speech adjustment may occur at first, but many users find them reliable for years.

    Wrap-Around Retainers:
    Similar to Hawley retainers, but with the wire extending fully around the teeth instead of across the front. This design offers a tighter fit and more even pressure, which some users find more comfortable. It’s also less likely to interfere with the bite, making it a popular upgrade from the standard Hawley style.

    If you’re unsure which to choose, consider what matters most to you – appearance, durability, or comfort. For any medical or treatment-related questions, please consult your orthodontist.

  • Can I really buy retainers online?

    Yes! You can easily buy retainers online through our website. We create fully custom retainers online based on your dental impressions or 3D scans. Our retainers are professionally crafted in an orthodontic dental lab – the same quality as you would receive from an orthodontist, but at a fraction of the price.

  • How does the process work to buy a custom retainer online?

    It’s simple! Choose the retainer type you want (e.g., Hawley retainer, clear retainer, or wrap-around retainer) from our shop. If you don’t already have dental impressions from your dentist or a previous order with us, you can add our optional impression kit to your order. The kit includes everything you need to easily take your impressions at home.

    If you order an impression kit, we’ll ship it to you first. Once you’ve taken your impressions, just email us a few clear photos of them. We’ll then send you the return instructions and the nearest return address.

    As soon as we receive your impressions, we’ll begin crafting your custom order. Once it’s ready, you’ll get a photo of the finished product for review before we ship it to your delivery address.

  • Do I need to order an impression kit?

    All of our products are custom-made based on your dental impressions to ensure a perfect fit. Without impressions, your appliance wouldn’t fit.

    If you don’t already have recent dental impressions (either from your dentist or a past order with us), you’ll need to order our Impression Kit. It’s easy to use at home and includes everything you need.

  • How are your products made?

    Our products are made by skilled dental technicians in a professional orthodontic lab that serves dentists and orthodontists worldwide. We use high-quality materials from industry-leading manufacturers, and each product is custom-made based on your individual impressions.

  • Are online retainers as good as retainers from an orthodontist?

    Absolutely. Our retainers are made in the same professional orthodontic dental lab that produces appliances for dentists and orthodontists worldwide. Whether the order comes from a dental professional or directly from a private customer, we use the exact same high-quality materials, processes, and standards – there is no difference. You are receiving the same level of craftsmanship and quality that orthodontists rely on.

  • How long does it take to get my retainer?

    Production typically takes 10-20 business days after we receive your impressions. Shipping times vary based on your location. We’ll keep you updated throughout the process.

  • How long do retainers last?

    With proper care, clear retainers typically last 6–12 months, while Hawley retainers and wrap-around retainers can last several years. We recommend having a spare retainer in case of loss or damage.

  • Can I order a replacement retainer online?

    Yes! If we have your impressions or 3D scan on file, you can easily order a replacement retainer online without needing to send new impressions (as long as your teeth haven’t changed).

  • Is it safe to buy a retainer online?

    Yes, as long as your teeth are stable and you are not using the retainer for active treatment. Our retainers are designed for retention purposes only and are not intended for orthodontic movement. Always consult with a licensed orthodontist if you have concerns about your dental health.

  • How much does it cost to buy retainers online?

    Our prices are typically 60–70% lower than what you would pay at a dental office, while offering the same high-quality materials and craftsmanship. Check the product pages for current pricing.

  • What if my online retainer doesn’t fit properly?

    We carefully check your impressions before production, but if your custom retainer doesn’t fit as expected, we offer free adjustments or repairs. Just contact us and we’ll help resolve the issue.

  • Can I use your retainers for teeth straightening?

    No. Our retainers are intended to maintain your current tooth position, not to actively move teeth. They’re not a substitute for orthodontic treatment or aligner therapy.

    For medical advice or active treatment, always consult a licensed orthodontist.
