The problem with your retainer

You eat plastic
in your sleep.

For 8 hours every night, for years, your retainer sits in your mouth under heat, saliva, and bite pressure. Standard PETG retainers shed microplastics straight into your body the entire time you sleep.

The problem with your retainer

You swapped the bottle and the Tupperware, but you still sleep with plastic in your mouth.

A standard retainer is petroleum-derived plastic: PETG, originally engineered for food packaging. Heat, moisture, and abrasion are exactly the conditions that accelerate plastic degradation. Your retainer experiences all three, inside your body, for a third of your life.

  • Heat

    Body temperature for 8–10 hours, every single night.

  • Moisture

    Bathed in saliva the entire time you wear it.

  • Abrasion

    Bite force and nightly grinding wear the surface down.

The solution

Made from PHA grown by microbes, not petroleum.

Same custom fit, without the conventional plastic.

  • Grown through microbial fermentation
  • Designed to break down into a body-made molecule
  • Actually biodegradable, not just “bio” or “plant based”

Common questions

What is the difference between subscription and one-time purchase?

Subscription is $245 today and every six months for one custom upper-and-lower pair per paid cycle. Your first subscription order includes a free stainless steel welcome case. Pause or cancel anytime. Unlimited lost/broken replacements while subscribed. One-time purchase is $300 for one custom upper-and-lower pair, with no recurring charges.

What is Moses actually made of?

Moses is made from PHA (polyhydroxyalkanoate), a polymer that bacteria grow through microbial fermentation, not one refined from crude oil. PHA occurs in nature, and the body has enzymes that break it down into molecules it already produces and processes, so it isn't a persistent “forever” plastic.

So is it plastic-free?

We say “without conventional plastic” rather than “plastic-free” because we care about being accurate. Our material is technically still a polymer, but it's grown by microbes and designed to break down into a body-made molecule rather than persist in your tissue like petroleum plastic.

Will it hold my teeth as well as my current retainer?

Yes. Same custom fit, same mechanical retention. The fit comes from your scan, not the material. Independent testing also shows our material maintains higher mechanical strength over time at body temperature compared to conventional retainers.

Do I need a new scan?

No. We retrieve your existing scan directly from your dentist or orthodontist. You sign an authorization form and we coordinate the request. No dentist visit needed.

What if my dentist doesn't respond?

We follow up directly with your dental provider. If we can't acquire your scan, we'll refund you in full.

When will my retainer ship?

We ship your retainer 5 days after we receive your dental scan. Our dental concierge retrieves your existing scan from your provider, and you'll receive email updates as your order progresses.

Is my founding member purchase refundable?

Yes. If we can't retrieve your scan, manufacture your retainer, or deliver it, every dollar comes back. No forms, no questions.
