You’ve worked hard for your new smile, with months or even years of braces or Invisalign® aligners, countless appointments, and a big investment of time and resources. Now that treatment is complete, the final step is making sure your results last a lifetime.
At Dental Depot of Oklahoma, we know that a beautiful smile doesn’t end when the braces come off; the retention phase is just as important as active treatment. Without proper retention, teeth naturally begin to shift back toward their original positions in a process called orthodontic relapse. This is especially common in the lower front teeth and can undo all the progress you’ve made. That’s why wearing a retainer for life isn’t just recommended—it’s essential to keeping your smile looking its best.
However, we also understand that life happens. Retainers get lost, broken, or worn out. Unfortunately, replacing them isn’t cheap, and most insurance plans don’t cover the cost of replacement. On average, replacing a complete single set of upper and lower retainers can easily reach $1,000 or more, and over the years, those costs add up fast.
The Smile Protection Assurance Plan was designed with our patients in mind and serves as a little extra insurance for your smile without the red tape of traditional dental insurance. For one flat, one-time fee, you can lock in three full years of discounted retainer replacements, giving you peace of mind and long-term savings.
One-Time Enrollment Fee: $899
Processing Fee per Retainer Set: $58
Coverage Period: 3 years from enrollment
What’s Included: Up to three complete sets of clear retainers per year (upper and lower)
With this plan, you’ll have quick, affordable access to replacement retainers whether you’ve lost them, broken them, or simply worn them out. Your final digital scan from the day your braces or aligners came off will be saved–no new impressions required–so replacements are fast, easy, and convenient.
Most orthodontic patients will need multiple replacement retainers over the years following their treatment. Studies show that nearly 40% of patients lose or break their retainer within the first year, and many will need replacements every 6–12 months due to normal wear and tear.
Without a plan like this, replacing three full sets of retainers per year could easily cost $3,000 annually, and that doesn’t include the stress of scheduling last-minute appointments or waiting weeks for a new set.
By comparison, the Smile Protection Assurance Plan costs just $899 upfront, plus a small $58 processing fee each time you need a replacement. That’s significant savings and priceless peace of mind.
The Smile Protection Assurance Plan is available to all orthodontic patients at Dental Depot of Oklahoma, whether your treatment included traditional braces or Invisalign®. You can enroll at any point during your orthodontic journey, either during treatment or right after your final appointment.
The plan covers all clear retainers used after treatment, including the same high-quality retainers provided at the end of your treatment plan.
In addition to protecting the investment you’ve made in your smile, our Smile Protection Assurance Plan is designed to make retention simpler, more affordable, and less stressful. We help take the uncertainty out of keeping your teeth aligned by offering ongoing support and predictable costs, so you can focus on enjoying your results instead of worrying about what happens if your retainer is lost, damaged, or worn out.
