A lifetime retainer program built around your practice.
Your practice sets one upfront price, collects payment, and hands the patient a branded QR card. Their program access lasts for life; when a replacement is needed, they order online for $25 per arch and we ship it directly to their door.

Common questions
The important details, up front.
Who decides what the Lifetime Retainer Program costs?
The practice does. You can set a one-time patient price from $300 to $850 in the portal and update it by practice.
How long does the program last?
Lifetime. The patient pays once to activate permanent program access, then pays $25 per replacement arch whenever one is needed.
What does the office need to do?
Introduce the program, collect the one-time payment, activate the patient, and hand them their unique QR card.
What happens when a patient needs a replacement?
They scan their QR card, open the branded patient page, submit the request, and receive the replacement directly at home.
