Our Live Impression Approval team will grant you access to our returns portal through the Live Impression Approval hours:

Once all impressions have been approved, please request access to our returns portal from the Impression Approval team.

What is the fastest way to return my impressions?
What is the fastest way to return my impressions?
Once all impressions have been approved, please request access to our returns portal from the Impression Approval team.
Return shipping usually takes 1–3 working days, and sometimes longer—especially if your drop-off point has limited DPD collections. Some locations only collect once a week, so we recommend asking staff about their schedule.
For the smoothest experience, we recommend dropping your parcel off as early in the day as possible—ideally between 8–9AM. DPD drivers often collect in the early afternoon, so an early drop-off maximises the chance it’s collected the same day.
Please avoid using DPD lockers, as they are still a newer service and often experience delays. Timely return is crucial to avoid processing hold-ups.
If there are no convenient drop-off points near you, or you’d prefer to use a courier of your choice, we’ve got you covered—we’ll contribute up to £4 towards your return shipping. Just make sure to keep your receipt and send a copy to cs@venneir.com for reimbursement once we’ve received your return.
Can I track my impression once I send it back?

How do I care for my custom dental appliance?
How do I care for my custom dental appliance?
Whether you’re using retainers, click-in veneers, whitening trays, or night guards, proper care is key to keeping your custom dental appliance clean, hygienic, and long-lasting.
Daily Cleaning
- Clean your appliance daily using a soft toothbrush and lukewarm water.
- Avoid toothpaste, as it can be abrasive and may damage the surface.
Weekly Deep Cleaning
- Once or twice a week, soak your appliance in a retainer or denture cleaning solution.
- Alternatively, use mild, fragrance-free soap and warm water. Do not use harsh chemicals.
What to Avoid
- Hot water (can warp or distort the appliance)
- Bleach or alcohol-based products
- Leaving it unprotected or wrapped in tissues, which can lead to loss or damage
Storage Tips

Taking these simple steps will help ensure your appliance remains comfortable, effective, and in great condition.

The lifespan of your appliance depends on how well it's cared for and how it’s used day-to-day. Here's a general guide for each product type:
Essix Retainers (1mm / 1.5mm PETG)
Average lifespan: 6–18 months
- Thinner 1mm may wear faster; 1.5mm offers more durability
- Replace sooner if you grind your teeth or wear it while eating
- Proper cleaning and storage can extend its life
Whitening Trays (1.5mm Semi-Hard PETG)
Average lifespan: 6–12 months
- Not designed for long-term wear, especially if used frequently
- Avoid eating or drinking anything besides water while wearing
- Rinse and clean thoroughly after each use to prevent staining
Day Guards (2mm EVA)
Average lifespan: 6–12 months
- EVA is softer and designed for light to moderate daytime grinding
- Replace when thinning, warping, or discomfort occurs
Night Guards (3mm EVA)
Average lifespan: 1–3 years
- Heavier-duty, meant for moderate to severe night grinding
- Can wear down faster if bruxism is severe
- Regular inspections recommended every 6 months
Click-In Veneers (1mm PETG)
Average lifespan: 6–12 months
- Designed for cosmetic wear, not eating or extended use
- Can discolour or warp if exposed to hot drinks or harsh cleaners
- Best maintained by avoiding food, staining beverages, and brushing gently
Retainer with Missing Tooth (1mm PETG)
Average lifespan: 6–12 months
- Similar care as standard Essix retainers
- Use only for intended wear; eating with it can shorten its life
What can affect lifespan?
- Grinding or clenching teeth (especially at night)
- Eating or drinking (other than water) while wearing
- Hot water or heat exposure (can warp the plastic)
- Poor cleaning habits (plaque buildup, odour, bacteria)
- Dropping or bending the appliance during handling
How to get the most out of your appliance
