Is Retainers a Seperate Cost from the Braces Treatment?

#1 Post by BracedSurgeryStudent »

I was just wondering if the braces treatment cost includes the retainers or if they are separate.

Mine were included in the price. If I lose/break my essix I would have to pay to replace them.

I get one set but I will probably pay for permanent ones too plus a spare set of essix (not sure if that will mean 2 essix or 1 hawley and 1 essix.

My retainers (leaning towards Essix) and the permanent retainer on the bottom included in my treatment cost. I also get a discounted cost on replacements.
In full braces for 2 years, 3 weeks, 1 day.

I get one set included in treatment cost - ortho and i agreed on hawleys
and then my parents decided to pay the extra $300 for a pair of essix's as i personally don't always want to wear wires when i just got debraced but will wear the hawleys at night and clear essixs in the day
