Essix Retainer
The Essix Retainer is a pinnacle service for those who have completed their journey with braces or any other orthodontic alignment treatments. It stands as a transparent, user-friendly solution designed meticulously to maintain the alignment and spacing achieved, ensuring long-lasting results.
Understanding the Service
The Essix Retainer is manufactured using clear durable plastic, making it almost invisible to the naked eye. It is meticulously crafted to fit the unique structure of every individual's teeth. This precise customization is achieved through detailed impressions and molds taken of your teeth.
Advantages of Essix Retainer
-
Subtle Appearance: Its transparent nature makes it extremely subtle, allowing users to maintain their confident smiles without the metallic distraction of traditional retainers.
-
Ease of Use: The absence of wires and brackets provides a smoother, more comfortable experience, reducing irritation and discomfort common with other types.
-
Hygienic and Convenient: Its removable nature allows for optimal oral hygiene, as it can be taken out during meals and when brushing or flossing.
Detailed Process
Once your orthodontic treatment is complete, a detailed impression of your teeth is taken. This impression is then used to create a retainer that fits snugly over your teeth, preserving the new alignment. Regular usage, especially during the night, is crucial to prevent any relapse in teeth positioning.
Care and Maintenance
Proper care is essential for the longevity of your Essix Retainer. It should be cleaned daily using a mild detergent and lukewarm water and should be stored in a case when not in use to prevent damage. Regular check-ups are advised to ensure the retainer is in good condition and is serving its purpose effectively.
Long-Term Benefits
Using the Essix retainer regularly can secure the investment made in orthodontic treatments by ensuring the achieved alignment and spacing are maintained. It stands as a preventive measure against the natural shifting of teeth that can occur over time due to aging, habits, or other factors.
