How Essix Retainers Are Manufactured?

Essix retainers are preferred for post-treatment placement of retainers because they are made of clear material so they are not noticeable.

These retainers are made of a clear material that is a special form of plastic which conforms to the shape of the teeth, thus keeping them aligned.

Below are the steps that take place when manufacturing an Essix retainer, reiterating the customer's stance on quality and accessibility in the UK.

Steps to Create an Essix Retainer:

1. Take Dental Impression:

Take an impression of your teeth with the help of an easy to use at home dental impression kit.

2. Create the Dental Model:

In this step, you will pour the dental stone into the mold and let it set.

3. Prepare the plastic sheet:

Take the thermoforming plastic and cut it to size and then put it in the vacuum forming machine and heat it.

4. Shape the retainer:

Place the hot plastic on the tooth model then use a vacuum-forming machine to shape the plastic into the tooth.

5. Trim the retainer:

Next cut off the excess plastic as it needs to fit perfectly over your teeth when you wear it.

6. Final Adjustments:

Select and smooth the edges so that they are comfortable when touching the face.
