Spacers for retainers
Spacers can also be used to add length to the retainer. This turns the Retainer into a “packing” device.
Another option for the retainer with a center hole is spacers.
These are used to extend the length of any retainer with the 1/4 inch center hole.
The notched spacer option is available for those with a frenulum
The spacers are made from the same machined nylon as the retainer and are approximately 1/4 inch ( 7 – 8 mm ) and 1/2 inch (12-13mm ) thick.
The standard set
1 standard 1/4 inch spacers
1 standard 1/2 inch spacer
3 nylon screws/wingnuts
The notched set
1 standard 1/4 inch spacer
1 notched 1/2 inch spacer
3 nylon screws/wingnuts
Only the 1/2 inch spacer is a notched in the notched spacer set
Nylon screws are used to hold the spacer(s) in place.
Spacers are countersunk so that the nylon screw sits inside the spacer.
Spacers can NOT be used with threaded or 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.
