I would ask your dentist. If it's breaking because of poor design, that's your dentist's responsibility to correct. Retainers should not break under normal use.
Of course, a retainer won't last forever but I would say it should work for several years, at least. You should be taking it out to eat (that could cause it to break) and you shouldn't be doing dumb things like chewing ice or hard candy with it in your mouth. If your dentist doesn't want to fix or replace it for free (sounds like he should), call your state dental society to complain (or get your parents to do it).
I'm a dentist and also an orthodontic patient.
it depends mine broke and they sent it away and repaired it
Do you have dental insurance? If you do than it wont really be $130 dollars.
