Essix Retainers
An Essix retainer is a transparent, vacuum formed retainer that fits over the existing dentition and replaces at least one missing tooth. It is similar to an invisible retainer except that it also replaces missing dentition. Essix retainers also keep the existing dentition from moving, just the same as invisible retainers/ vacuum formed retainers often prescribed after having braces removed. Patients should not eat with an Essix retainer in the mouth.
