Questions about the essix retainer
What is an Essix retainer?
An Essix retainer is a thermoformed, virtually invisible clear retainer that holds teeth in position after orthodontic treatment. Ours use a next-generation material for flexibility, clarity and a soft, comfortable occlusion.
How long does an Essix retainer last?
With good care, typically 1–3 years depending on wear and grinding. We cover them for 3 months against manufacturing faults.
Essix or Zendura — which retainer material?
Essix is clear and flexible; Zendura A is a rigid resin with superior crack and stain resistance. See our Essix vs Zendura guide.
