The terms

What's covered — and what isn't

Cover runs from the date of delivery and is always subject to fair wear and tear.

✓ The warranty covers

  • A genuine making fault — poor fit, or built to the wrong specification.
  • Genuine material failure — confirmed by us when the appliance is returned for inspection.
  • A claim reported within the warranty period, with the appliance sent back so we can check it ourselves.

✗ The warranty does not cover

  • Patient-caused breakage — misuse, mishandling, heat, dropping it, biting it in, or pets. (Genuine material failure is different — see what's covered.)
  • Loss, or any appliance that can't be returned for us to inspect.
  • Patient symptoms, comfort, tolerance or clinical outcomes.
  • Changes to the patient's dentition after fitting — further tooth movement, new restorations or extractions.
  • Normal wear and tear — soft materials and grinding surfaces wear faster.
  • Staining or discolouration — down to the patient and doesn't affect how the appliance works. It comes from medication, metal restorations touching it, or food left on the teeth when it's put in.
  • Denture repairs and additions, at our discretion and outside standard cover.

Every claim is assessed on its merits — we reserve the right to decline or void a claim that falls outside these terms.

Avoid these

What voids your warranty

Most voided claims come down to heat and cleaning — especially with thermoformed retainers (Essix, Zendura and clear aligners), which permanently warp if they get hot.

Retainers & clear appliances — the big ones
  • ✗
    Heat & hot waterBoiling water, a kettle, the dishwasher or a microwave warps a thermoformed retainer permanently — it will never fit again.
  • ✗
    Warm storageA hot car, a windowsill, near a radiator or direct sunlight will all distort it.
  • ✗
    Abrasive or harsh cleaningToothpaste scratches and clouds the plastic; bleach, alcohol and harsh chemicals damage it.
  • ✗
    Uneven force in or outAlways take it in and out with even pressure on all sides. Biting it into place, or levering it off from one side, cracks and stress-fractures the plastic.
  • ✗
    Forcing an ill-fitting retainerIf the teeth have already moved, don't force it on.
  • ✗
    Whitening gel left on a retainerIf a retainer is used as a whitening tray and the gel isn't rinsed off fully, the gel dries the appliance out and makes it brittle, so it cracks. Breakages caused this way aren't covered.
Any appliance
  • ✗
    Third-party adjustmentAny trimming, grinding, relining or adjustment by the patient, the practice or anyone other than us.
  • ✗
    Damage, pets & lossAccidental damage, dogs (they're drawn to them), loss, or wrapping it in a napkin and binning it.
  • ✗
    Grinding wearWear from bruxism on soft and dual-laminate appliances is fair wear and tear, not a fault.

Following the care guide — cold water, a soft brush, even pressure in and out, stored in its case and kept well away from heat — keeps your cover valid. Read the cleaning guide →

Claims & remakes

Claims & remakes

To claim, contact us within the warranty period and send the appliance back — or a clear photo — so we can inspect it. What it costs depends on what happened and what you send.

01No charge

Our fault

A genuine making fault or material failure — remade free, but we must have the appliance back to inspect (with a new scan or impression) to confirm it ourselves.

02Chargeable

Patient breakage

Any breakage the patient caused is a remake, not a warranty claim — half price with a photo, full price if nothing is sent. One remake per order at the same model.

03Upgrade

Breaks again

After that one remake, a further breakage means a harder-wearing model rather than another like-for-like copy — an Essix that keeps breaking steps up to Zendura.

✓

Keeps breaking? It's the wrong model for that patient. A retainer that keeps cracking steps up Essix → Zendura A → Zendura FLX; a guard that keeps failing moves soft → soft-hard → hard (Michigan). Talk to us about the right upgrade.

Re-using a model or scan on file: by asking us to remake from a model or scan we already hold, you confirm it is still a correct representation of the patient's current dentition. If the teeth have since moved and the appliance doesn't fit as a result, that isn't a fault on our side and the remake is chargeable.
