Working with INSA (French engineering school), he developed a fixed PEEK retainer, digitally designed and custom-machined for each patient. The eZtain retainer is protected by French patent FR3070256B1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">His role on this blog<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>He writes or reviews every article before publication; the last update date is shown at the top of each article.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Medical statements rely as much as possible on public sources (French health authorities, peer-reviewed journals), cited in the article.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Articles provide general information and do not replace a consultation with your orthodontist or dentist.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Transparency<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As founder of eZtain Lab, Dr Philippides has a direct interest in PEEK retainers. When an article mentions eZtain products, we say so, and other retention options are also presented.
