Essix retainer

Essix retainers incorporate artificial teeth into a clear plastic retainer to serve as temporary replacements for missing teeth. They are a versatile option for retention and temporary cosmetic restoration, and are suitable for patients awaiting permanent solutions like implants or bridges.

Our Essix retainers are expertly crafted from clear, flexible plastic using a pressure forming process. This construction involves forming a thin layer of plastic over a detailed model of the patient’s teeth, ensuring a snug and comfortable fit.

Easier maintenance

Essix retainers are easier to clean compared to traditional metal retainers. Their smooth surface reduces plaque accumulation. This makes it simpler for patients to maintain oral hygiene while wearing their retainers.

Superior aesthetics

Compared to metal or wire retainers, Essix retainers are less noticeable. The clear plastic provides a more aesthetic option, which can lead to higher patient satisfaction. This feature helps patients feel more confident while undergoing retention treatment.

Clear and discreet

Our Essix retainers are made from transparent plastic that blends seamlessly with the teeth. This discreet design makes them a popular choice for patients who prefer not to show visible appliances. They provide a clear solution for maintaining orthodontic results.

Comfortable fit

We create Essix retainers with a focus on comfort. The flexible plastic adapts to the contours of the teeth, minimising irritation. A comfortable fit ensures that patients wear their retainers consistently, enhancing the effectiveness of their orthodontic treatment.

Custom design

Each Essix retainer is custom-designed based on detailed impressions of the patient’s teeth. This personalised approach ensures a precise fit and optimal performance. Customisation helps in achieving better alignment and effective retention.
