You have a couple of different options for your type of retainer. You can choose a removable plastic retainer made in our in-house lab or a Vivera removable retainer.
In-House Removable Retainer
We’ll take an impression and make your retainer within 24 hours. This will prevent any tooth movement. Additionally, we’ll take a scan and keep it on file; in case you ever lose or damage your retainer, we can make you a new one in no time! They are virtually clear retainers, so no one will ever know you are wearing one.
Vivera Retainer
At Smile-Chic, our team can provide Vivera retainers, a retainer patented with Invisalign plastic technology, to help keep your new, fresh smile in place longer. These retainers are custom-fitted to meet your needs and pick up where Invisalign left off, keeping your teeth from slipping out of alignment.
How Do Vivera Retainers Work?
Retainers work by preventing the teeth from gradually shifting back to their original position after treatments such as braces, Invisalign, and other clear aligner treatments. Vivera is an orthodontic retainer made out of the same clear plastic from Invisalign. The purpose of Vivera retainers is to maintain the teeth in their final position, maintaining your smile. Vivera retainers can help you protect your smile and come with numerous benefits:
- Custom-Fitted Comfort: Vivera retainers are custom-fit to every smile and work for adults, teens, and children. Patients can experience the comfort level they’ve known during their Invisalign treatment by transitioning to Vivera retainers.
- Noticeable Difference: Patients wearing Vivera retainers can experience a noticeable difference in their smile within months of treatment, and are available for one or both arches.
- Durable and Strong: The Viviera retainers are more robust and more durable because it’s made from Invisalign’s patented plastic. They are reported to be 30% stronger and twice as durable as other clear retainers.
- Longer Retainer Lifespan: These retainers come in four sets, translating to at least 10 to 20 years’ worth of retainers. This all adds up to fewer replacements, fewer reorders, and more value to your dental care.
- Day or Night Wear: Patients can wear these retainers 5 to 10 hours a day or overnight to maintain their results. Patients who wore metal braces can also use Vivera retainers and those who’ve worked with Invisalign. These retainers can also accommodate other case scenarios, including lingual bars/wires, missing teeth, and bite ramps.
To see if you qualify for Vivera retainers our team can provide a three-minute scan of your teeth during your oral exam to see if you qualify for Vivera retainers.
