Answers:

If you had JUST completed your braces and lost or damaged your retainer, I could see someone making a new one for little more than the lab fee. They would still have useful models on hand. Of course, your orthodontist still has the models he made your original retainer on, but (trust me) a new retainer made on those models would not fit your mouth today. You will need a new impression - top and bottom - and then they can make a new retainer. You will then need an additional visit in the office to make sure it fits correctly and to make sure that the wire and clasps are adjusted correctly. THAT's why it will cost $300 or more.
