What are Vivera retainers?

Vivera Retainers are clear, custom-made retainers created by Invisalign to help keep your teeth in their new position after orthodontic treatment.

They are made using the same advanced digital technology as Invisalign aligners and are designed to fit comfortably over your teeth.

Why do I need to wear retainers after orthodontic treatment?

After braces or Invisalign treatment, teeth can slowly move back toward their original position. Wearing retainers helps maintain your results and protect your new smile.

How often should I wear my Vivera retainers?

• Full-time wear (day and night) for the first few months after treatment
• Night-time wear long term

Retention is important to keep teeth straight for years to come.

How long do Vivera retainers last?

Vivera retainers are designed to be stronger and more durable than many standard clear retainers. However, they will still wear down over time. Many patients replace them every 6–12 months depending on use and care.

How many retainers will I receive?

Most patients receive multiple sets (usually four) of Vivera retainers. This means you will have spare sets if one becomes lost or damaged.

How do I clean my retainers?

To keep your retainers clean:

• Rinse them with lukewarm water after removing them

• Gently brush them with a soft toothbrush
• Use retainer cleaning brushes
• Avoid hot water, which can warp the plastic

Can I eat or drink while wearing my retainers?

It’s best to remove your retainers when eating or drinking anything other than water to prevent staining and damage.

What happens if I stop wearing my retainers?

If retainers are not worn regularly, teeth can gradually shift out of alignment. Wearing them consistently helps maintain the results of your orthodontic treatment.

Are Vivera retainers comfortable?

Yes. Because they are custom-made and designed using digital scans, Vivera retainers are thin, smooth, and comfortable to wear.

What should I do if my retainer is lost or broken?

Contact your dental clinic as soon as possible. Wearing a replacement retainer quickly helps prevent unwanted tooth movement.

**Bring your retainers to your regular dental check-ups so your dentist can ensure they still fit properly.
