In-House, 3D-Printed Clear Retainers
Ready Fast, Built to Last
At Greater Chattanooga Orthodontics in Chattanooga, our in-house 3D printer turns precise scans into custom retainers—often the very same day—so you keep your new smile on track without the wait.
What Are In-house 3D-Printed Retainers?
Retainers hold your teeth in their new positions after braces or clear aligners.
Instead of sending your scan to an outside lab, we print your retainer right here in our office using advanced 3D technology.
Dr. Aldridge captures a quick digital scan, feeds the file to our printer, and your retainer takes shape layer by layer.
Because the entire process happens under our roof, you leave with a perfect fit and zero shipping delays.
Why You’ll Love Them
- Speed you can feel: No two-week turnaround. Most patients pick up retainers the same day, keeping that freshly straightened smile secure from the start.
- Pin-point accuracy: Digital scans mean fewer adjustments and a snug, comfy fit from day one.
- Easy replacements: Lost a retainer? We already have your digital file. We can print a new one fast—sometimes while you wait—so minor mishaps never set your smile back.
- Less waste, more value: Printing in-house cuts out lab fees and shipping, so you get top-quality retention at a fair price.
