Essix Retainers

These clear, removable retainers are custom-molded to your teeth, providing a snug fit to maintain alignment after braces or clear aligners. Designed for comfort and effectiveness, Essix retainers are made from durable, BPA-free plastic that is virtually invisible when worn. They help prevent teeth from shifting back to their original positions, ensuring that the results of your orthodontic treatment are preserved. Regular wear of these retainers, as recommended by your orthodontist, is key to maintaining a beautifully aligned smile for years to come.

Are You A Good Candidate for Retainers?

Retainers are suitable for anyone who has completed orthodontic treatment and wishes to maintain their newly aligned teeth. They are also recommended for individuals seeking to prevent minor tooth movements over time.

Frequently Asked Questions About Retainers

How often should I wear my retainer?

Initially, it’s recommended to wear your retainer full-time, except for eating and brushing. Over time, your orthodontist will advise wearing it only while sleeping.

What’s the best way to clean my retainer?

Clean your retainer daily using lukewarm water and a soft toothbrush. Avoid using hot water as it may distort the shape.

How long will I need to wear a retainer?

Retainer wear is a lifelong commitment. However, the frequency reduces over time based on your orthodontist’s guidance.

Can I eat with my retainer on?

It’s best to remove your retainer while eating to prevent damage and maintain hygiene.

What should I do if my retainer feels loose or tight?

Contact your orthodontist for an evaluation if your retainer does not fit correctly.

Is it normal for my retainer to have a smell?

Regular cleaning should prevent odor. If persistent, it may be due to plaque buildup, so ensure proper hygiene.

What happens if I lose or break my retainer?

Contact your orthodontist immediately for a replacement to avoid any unwanted tooth movement.

Will my retainer affect my speech?

Initially, you may notice a slight change in speech, but this typically improves as you get accustomed to wearing it.
