Essix Retainers: Custom, At-Home Smile Solutions for Every Need | Smile Boutique NY

What Are Essix Retainers?

Essix retainers are clear, removable dental appliances made from durable thermoplastic. They’re designed to:

• Maintain orthodontic results post-braces or aligners.

• Replace 1–2 missing teeth with a pontic (false tooth) embedded in the retainer.
  Crafted using at-home impression kits or 3D scans, they’re ideal for remote patients seeking a discreet, affordable solution. Unlike bulky dentures, Essix retainers are lightweight, stain-resistant, and virtually invisible.
