The Graf Smile Guarantee
A free lifetime retainer guarantee designed to help Graf Orthodontics patients keep their smiles straight for life.
Free Consultation
Lifetime Retainer Guarantee
When treatment ends, every Graf Orthodontics patient is included in our lifetime retainer guarantee program free of charge. We do this as a service to our patients because you have already invested enough in straight teeth. We want to remove financial barriers to keeping them straight.
What You Receive
At the end of treatment, patients receive one set of retainers, a 3D printed model of their teeth, and an extra retainer that fits on the model.
Your Spare Retainer
Keep your model and spare retainer somewhere safe. If the original retainer is lost, broken, or thrown away, start wearing the spare retainer right away.
Replacement Retainers at Cost
Bring in your 3D printed model and we can make a replacement retainer for $50, which reflects our cost and is far less than the normal $258 replacement fee.
Built for Lifelong Wear
The program rewards patients who wear retainers every night and helps make lifetime retention easier to maintain.
How to Stay Eligible
The program works best when patients wear retainers diligently. If teeth shift too far because retainers are not worn, new retainers made from the old 3D model may no longer fit. In that case, discounted replacement retainers would not apply, and new retainers would be made at the regular fee to hold the relapsed position.
- Keep your 3D printed models safe.
- Wear retainers as directed, especially every night for long-term stability.
- Bring your model when you need a replacement retainer.
- Replacement retainers are limited to one replacement per visit and four per year.
Fixed Retainers
We also bond fixed retainers on the back side of the lower canine-to-canine teeth when appropriate. Fixed retainers are not part of the lifetime retainer guarantee program, but we guarantee them for one year. If they break during that first year, we will replace them at no charge.
Why We Offer This
We want patients to have every reason to protect their finished Graf Smile. This program gives families a financial break, supports lifelong retainer wear, and helps preserve the result we worked hard to create together.
Included free for Graf Orthodontics patients at the end of treatment.
$50 per replacement retainer when made from your saved 3D printed model and eligibility requirements are met.
If models are lost, the regular $258 fee applies to make a new set of retainers and models.
