What is an orthodontic retainer?
A retainer is a device designed to hold the teeth in position once they have been moved into the right place using braces.
A permanent retainer is a line of metal that is attached to the inside of the teeth to stop them moving.
Retainers are used at the end of a course of orthodontic treatment.
They hold straightened teeth in place while the surrounding gum and bone adjusts to their new position.
Retainers can either be removable or fixed.
A temporary retainer does the same thing, but can be put in and taken out. It is usually worn only at night.
I had orthodontia treatment a long time ago. Do I still need to wear retainers?
Yes. Teeth continue to shift over time, so experts are saying retention is for life.
The right retainer and retainer routine will protect the investment you’ve made in your smile so you won’t have to start over with braces or aligners.
Keep your smile straight with Vivera® retainers.
What are Vivera® retainers?
Vivera retainers are clear thermoplastic appliances that are designed and fabricated by the Invisalign makers in the same shape using the same advanced 3D imaging state of the art technology. We can also call them Invisalign Vivera retainers because they look much alike Invisalign aligners but are thicker and durable.
These retainers are not only for those who’ve completed Invisalign treatment in fact these can also be used by those patients who have undergone a traditional braces treatment method.
Can I use Vivera® retainers if I had metal braces?
YES!
Vivera retainers can also accommodate lingual bars/wires (also known as a permanent retainer), missing teeth that require an artificial tooth, and bite ramps (also known as turbos or blocks).
