Spacers for Retainers
Spacers can also be used to add length to the retainer.
Another option for the retainer is spacers.
These are used to extend the length of any Retainer with the 1/4 inch center hole or 1/4 threaded center. Not for use with solid Retainers.
The spacers are made from the same machined nylon as the Retainer and come in sizes from 20, 25 and 30 mm lengths
A notched spacer option is available for those with a frenulum
Now you can even convert a standard retainer into a notched retainer
Each spacer comes with a 1 inch threaded connecting link so that multiple spacers can be connected together
Many small spacers can be used
The bottom of are concave with rounded edges like the Retainer for better comfort.
If you have an older Retainer with the 1/4 hole you can use any 1-/4-20 steel or nylon bolt or screw.
Here I have a 30 and 20 mm long retainer with 2 different sized bolts.
I will use a screw that will leave about 1/4 inch worth of thread at the bottom like you see here. If I wanted to use the 20 mm spacer.
If I used a longer spacer then a 20 mm I can have more of this bolt stick out. I am just showing this as an example.
I can use a long bolt to connect everything together without using the separate connecting links.
Now there all connected with one steel bolt.
Or you can use the connecting links without the bolt.
Spacers can NOT be used solid retainers

I only used spacers for a short time just to test out the concept since I was restored by the time I made them available. It is a way to increase the length of the Retainer without having to purchase a longer Retainer.
