Clear Retainer Configuration Guide

This guide explains the physical construction and appearance of the options shown above. It does not provide treatment advice or activation instructions. If a requested combination is not listed, add it to the checkout Notes field. Our technicians will review it before production and contact you if clarification is required or the request cannot be made.

Upper/Lower Jaw

Choose which part of your mouth the appliance will be made for:

Upper Jaw:
Includes one appliance made for the upper jaw. A suitable upper impression or compatible scan is required.

Lower Jaw:
Includes one appliance made for the lower jaw. A suitable lower impression or compatible scan is required.

Upper & Lower Jaw:
Includes separate upper and lower appliances unless the product description identifies an integrated bimaxillary construction. Suitable records for both jaws are required. A bite registration may also be requested for an integrated bimaxillary product.

Retainer Thickness

Choose 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, or 1.5 mm material. The selected thickness changes the amount of material and the feel of the retainer. The 1.0 mm version is the standard selection.

Trim Style

Which One Should I Choose?

You can choose how the edge of your retainer is cut:

Straight Cut

The edge follows a straighter trim line around the dental arch.

Scalloped Cut

The edge is contoured more closely around the visible gumline of each tooth.

The Clear Retainer with Herbst Appliance combines separate transparent upper and lower shells in a custom-made, removable construction made to your existing bite. Each shell covers the complete dental arch and is formed from 1.5 mm thermoforming material.

Two complete Herbst telescopic assemblies connect the shells, one on each side. Each assembly consists of a metal tube, a sliding rod, and attachment screws, attached to metal mounting points on the clear shells.

Choose a straight-cut or scalloped edge. The straight-cut version follows a straighter trim line around the dental arch. The scalloped version has an edge contoured more closely around the visible gumline of each tooth. Both styles use the same standard 1.5 mm material thickness.

Frequently Asked Questions

For a custom-made appliance, suitable records are needed for each jaw required by the product and selected options. You may be able to use recent dentist-taken impressions, compatible intraoral scans, or suitable records retained from a previous order. If you do not have suitable records, add an impression kit to your order. Records are required before fabrication, not before checkout.

Upload clear photos through the customer portal before returning your impressions. We will review them and let you know if another impression is needed. The kit contains material for two attempts. If you need another kit, contact us about a discounted replacement.

Overall processing for most custom-made products usually takes approximately 10 to 20 business days after usable impressions or suitable scan files have been received. This includes fabrication and forwarding to the fulfillment center. Final delivery takes additional time depending on your destination and shipping method. These timeframes are estimates.

Email [email protected] with your order number, a description of the problem, and clear photos. We will review the case and explain the available options. Minor rework is normally free apart from applicable shipping. If a complete remake is needed, its cost depends on the cause and the case review.

In many cases, yes. Digital scans are archived, and physical impressions are generally stored for at least 1 to 2 years, subject to availability. Reuse depends on whether suitable records remain available and your teeth have not changed. Mention your previous order in checkout Notes so we can check.

Upload clear photos through the customer portal linked in your order-status emails. If you cannot use the portal, email the photos with your order number to [email protected]. After approval, you will receive the appropriate return instructions and address or return label. Please wait for these instructions before sending your impressions.

Orders delivered within the USA from our US fulfillment center or within the EU from Germany normally do not incur import duties within those regions. Other destinations may be subject to local customs fees or import taxes.
