A Smarter Way To Protect Your Smile
Your braces or aligners did their job. Your smile looks the way you hoped it would. Keeping it that way takes ongoing care, and retainers play a big role in that process. Christopher Orthodontics created the STR8 Retainer Assurance Program to make long-term retainer wear simpler, more predictable, and far more affordable for you and your family.
The Reality Of Long-Term Retainer Wear
Retainers are not meant to last forever. Most orthodontic retainers need replacement about once a year due to normal wear, changes in fit, or everyday mishaps. Without a plan in place, those replacement costs can add up faster than many patients expect. The STR8 Retainer Assurance Program removes that uncertainty and gives adult patients and families in Walla Walla, Yakima, La Grande, and Ellensburg, peace of mind for years after treatment ends.
How The STR8 Retainer Assurance Program Works
The STR8 Retainer Assurance Program covers up to eight years of retainer replacements for a one-time enrollment fee. That means you stay protected through the years when retention matters most, without having to think about unexpected expenses each time a retainer wears out or no longer fits properly.
Here is what the program includes and why it matters to you:
- Retainers are typically replaced once a year to maintain proper fit
- Coverage lasts up to eight years after treatment
- Without the program, retainers cost $225 each or $450 per set
- The program costs $944 total, which breaks down to about $59 per retainer
- Over eight years, you save approximately $2,656 compared to paying per retainer
- You receive 5 percent off additional plans when you add immediate family members
Why Long-Term Retainer Care Matters
Teeth continue to shift throughout your life. Even after braces or aligner treatment, your smile needs consistent support to hold its position. Wearing a well-fitting retainer helps maintain your results and protects the time and effort you invested in treatment.
When retainers become worn or loose, they stop doing their job properly. Replacing them on schedule helps keep your bite stable and your smile aligned. The STR8 Retainer Assurance Program makes it easier to stay consistent without delaying replacements due to cost or inconvenience.
