hi just got my braces off 6 months ago- I have a metal retainer at the back upper teeth- delighted with it. however my plastic retainer that was originally moulded and fitted to my teeth for to wear at night- it broke- hubbie walked on it - anyhow I went in today with my original mould casting for to place an order for a new retainer to be made.
150e for 1 plastic retainer- just for the top row of teeth- could this be right? I was shocked, receptionist told me it was specialist orthodontic work

just to be clear, you went in with your original casting?? surely the teeth would have moved since?

yes the original casting- the teeth couldn't have moved much this has just happened

I had to get my retainer replaced after I used boiling water to clean it and it warped (gold star for me!). I had to have new molds taken.

the original cast is what you had done before any treatment.

I was quoted €175 per retainer, (ie €350 for top and bottom) to get mine replaced.

I just got mine replaced after six months,top only off original moulds for no charge. 150 is pretty ridiculous.
