What Affects the Cost of Permanent Retainers?
Several factors can influence the price of permanent retainers:
- Material used: Options like stainless steel, braided wire, or gold-coated wire can vary in price.
- Number of arches: Retainers placed on both upper and lower teeth will cost more than a single-arch retainer.
- Removal of old wire: If an existing retainer needs to be taken off before placing a new one, this additional step can add to the overall cost.
Are Permanent Retainers Covered by Insurance?
Some private dental insurance plans in Ontario do cover fixed permanent retainers, as they are classified as a preventive home-use appliance.
As of 2025, the Canada Dental Care Plan (CDCP) does not cover permanent retainers, since they are not classified as essential treatment.
We recommend checking with your insurer and requesting a pre-authorization if you are unsure. Always check your policy or speak with your dental office for specific eligibility and coverage details.
