Combined Retention & Whitening Packages: A Smarter Way to End Orthodontic Treatment

You’ve guided your patient through months of orthodontic treatment. Now comes the final step: retention and aesthetic finishing. 

These are often the most memorable parts of the journey for patients, and they’re critical for long-term success.

To make this phase simpler, we’ve launched a brand-new range of combined retention and whitening packages, bringing together everything needed for post-treatment care in one convenient bundle.

From a clinical standpoint, these kits are built to support stability and deliver patient satisfaction. From a practice perspective, they streamline ordering, reduce admin, and offer an easy opportunity to boost value per case.

What's included in the packages?

Each package includes:

• Upper and lower bonded retainers with transfer jig
• 1, 2 or 3 sets of DURATAIN ultra-strength removable retainers
• Vitalisse professional whitening kit, available in day, night, or mixed versions

You can also opt for retention-only packages without whitening, depending on your patient’s needs. The flexibility lets you tailor aftercare precisely.

DURATAIN retainers: strength meets comfort

Retention failure is one of the biggest causes of relapse, and durability plays a huge role in compliance. DURATAIN retainers are made from an advanced material that’s three times stronger than standard Essix retainers.

Key benefits:

• Increased resistance to cracks and distortion
• Greater longevity for long-term wear
• Stain-resistant for discretion
• Comfortable fit
• Available in multiples for convenience and proactive replacement

Offering patients more than one set of retainers helps improve long-term retention success. It also reduces the chances of emergency appointments caused by lost or broken appliances.

Vitalisse whitening: professional quality at home

Whitening is often the first thing patients ask about once their teeth are straight. 

The Vitalisse system, developed by S4S Dental Laboratory, is designed to deliver professional whitening results with minimal sensitivity, packaged in a way that’s effortless for your team to manage and simple for patients to use.

Precision-made whitening trays

With Vitalisse, you can choose between two high-quality whitening tray options:

• Ultra-seal trays, designed with precision margins to help retain gel and reduce saliva contamination, improving comfort and consistency.
• Armadillo trays, a dual-purpose solution that works for both whitening and retention. Made from dual-laminate material, these trays combine a soft inner layer with a firmer outer layer, giving them the durability of a retainer with the flexibility and comfort of a whitening tray.

The option of Armadillo trays makes Vitalisse a stand-out whitening system for post-ortho patients who want to whiten and maintain alignment of their new smile in a singular appliance.

Day, Night, or Mixed kits available

Every Vitalisse kit includes:

• Whitening gel (in your chosen format)
• Sensitivity serum
• Whitening & remineralising toothpaste
• Super-soft Kent toothbrush
• Sleek appliance storage case

S4S expertise

As with all S4S products, trays are made to specification, and kits are dispatched within five working days.

There’s no upfront stock commitment, and all cases are invoiced on account, keeping things simple for your team.

Ideal as a Smilelign add-on

These packages make a smart, seamless extension to any Smilelign case.

For a small additional cost, patients can walk away with everything they need to keep their new alignment stable and enhance the visual finish.

It also helps position your practice as one offering full-service, end-to-end care, from treatment planning to aftercare.

Offering this as a package reduces admin, saves chair time, and increases perceived value for the patient.

For Smilelign users already ordering bonded retainers and DURATAIN, adding whitening is a natural next step.

And because the Vitalisse system is designed for minimal effort on your end, it doesn’t add complexity to your workflow.
