    How much does an Essix retainer cost?

    Same as you, $20 per essix but with a $4 pour up charge, $5 per reset tooth. and an "Wax Tax" if i have to fill in a lot of air bubbles (I make up that fee depending on how long it takes) (BTW, I dont really use "wax" for the essix models, i use triad)
