The clear retainer, or Essix retainer, is a removable, see-through appliance made of rigid, medical-grade plastic. It is designed for post-orthodontic retention and offers patients a discreet, comfortable method of tooth maintenance. It is highly transparent and, as such, has very little aesthetic impact, making it an excellent choice for those patients who want a more cosmetic post-treatment alternative.
The retainer can be easily removed for eating and oral hygiene routines, supporting better compliance and convenience. It applies gentle pressure to keep teeth in their corrected positions by allowing surrounding bone and tissue to stabilize.While effective and widely used, the plastic material may be prone to wear or deformation under high temperatures, and periodic replacement is recommended to maintain fit and function.BestoDental provides high-quality clear retainers designed for accuracy, comfort, and visual appeal—trusted by dental clinics and orthodontic professionals worldwide.
