Answer 1

Sure thing, if you can buy over the internet there is a site here that sells retainer cases!

http://www.dentakit.com/reandapit.html

Also bags for your retainers at restaurants and other objects.

Chances are he will charge you (I mean he's already charged you for your braces and retainers for hundreds of bucks)

The one on the site are 5.00$ each or around 9.00$ for two (so you don't lose it).

He probably won't charge you more than 10$ so if you do buy it from him just bring a 10. And, if you got one for free when you first got it, you could get it for free. They usually give you the case it came in, and he should have gave you another one.

Answer 2

Yes he will charge you-it will cost the same as the first one did and he will also charge you for the fitting.Your dentist is the only place you can get a retainer.

Answer 3

You may not even need to go back to your dentist. They sell them cheap at some convenience stores. Even a little 2$ bar soap container would work. All it is is some plastic for your retainer.

Answer 4

They probably will not charge you for it. My orthodontist gave me two of them...my sister ended up with four! Usually they are just pleased you are following the cardinal rule of retainers: In your face or in you case.

Why not just give their office a call? It certainly can't hurt. :]
