Returns & Refunds
Returns & Refunds Policy
At ClearRetain, we stand behind the quality of our products. This policy outlines the terms for returns, refunds, remakes, and warranty coverage.
General Terms
All refund, remake, and warranty requests must be submitted within the applicable warranty period for your product. Please refer to the individual product page for specific warranty timeframes. Any items required for return must be received by ClearRetain within the warranty period.
Refunds are ONLY issued to the original payment method, unless store credit is selected. Store credit does not expire.
ClearRetain reserves the right to determine eligibility for refunds, remakes, and warranty coverage.
Custom Products
Fit Guarantee
Custom products made from impressions or scans obtained through ClearRetain are covered by our fit guarantee. If your retainer does not fit properly due to a manufacturing or impression issue, you may be eligible for a free remake or a refund.
Products made using customer-provided models, impressions, or 3D scans not obtained through ClearRetain are not eligible for the fit guarantee. If a product made from customer-provided materials does not fit, ClearRetain will remake it at no charge; however, customers are responsible for purchasing a new impression kit to begin the process.
Completed Orders with Fit or Quality Issues
Finished custom products with fit or quality issues reported within the warranty period may be eligible for:
-
A free remake, or
-
A refund minus shipping and materials ($20 for a single arch, $25 for a full set), or
-
100% store credit
Please note that to qualify for a refund, the item must be returned within the applicable return time frame. However, there is no time limit to retake your impressions if needed to ensure proper fit and quality.
Completed Orders Without Issues
Completed orders that fit properly may still qualify for:
-
A refund minus shipping and materials ($20 for a single arch, $25 for a full set), or
-
100% store credit

Additional Information
Retainer Longevity
Clear retainers, when properly cared for, typically last between six months and two to three years. Retainers may wear more quickly for customers who grind or clench their teeth. In these cases, we recommend our grind guard retainer for improved durability.
Warranty Exclusions
Unusual wear and tear is not covered under warranty. This includes damage caused by pets, loss, or accidental damage.
