Everything You Need to Know About Vivera Retainers from Invisalign
In the world of orthodontics, retainers play a crucial role in maintaining the results of your orthodontic treatment. Vivera retainers from Invisalign are a popular choice among patients and orthodontists alike. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll dive deep into what Vivera retainers are, how they compare to other types of retainers, their benefits, how to care for them, and much more.
What are Vivera Retainers?
Vivera retainers are custom-made, clear plastic retainers designed to keep your teeth in their new position after orthodontic treatment with Invisalign clear aligners. They are created using the same state-of-the-art technology as Invisalign aligners, ensuring a precise and comfortable fit.
How Do Vivera Retainers Compare to Other Retainers?
Unlike traditional retainers, which are often made of acrylic and wire, Vivera retainers are made of a clear, durable plastic material. This makes them virtually invisible when worn, which is especially appealing to those who want to maintain a discreet appearance post-treatment. Compared to other clear retainers on the market, Vivera retainers are known for their strength and durability. They are made from a patented thermoplastic material that is up to 30% stronger than other leading clear retainer materials, making them less likely to break or crack over time.
Benefits of Vivera Retainers
Durability: Vivera retainers are made from a strong thermoplastic material, making them more durable than other types of retainers.
Comfort: The custom-fit design of Vivera retainers ensures a comfortable fit, making them easy to wear for extended periods.
Clarity: Vivera retainers are virtually invisible when worn, allowing you to maintain a natural smile post-treatment.
Precision: Vivera retainers are created using the same technology as Invisalign aligners, ensuring a precise fit that keeps your teeth in their new position.
Convenience: Vivera retainers are easy to care for and can be removed for eating and cleaning, making them a convenient option for maintaining your smile.
How to Care for Your Vivera Retainers
To ensure your Vivera retainers remain in good condition and continue to effectively maintain your smile, it’s important to follow these care instructions:
Clean your retainers daily using a soft toothbrush and mild soap or retainer cleaner.
Rinse your retainers with water before and after each use.
Store your retainers in their case when not in use to prevent loss or damage.
Avoid exposing your retainers to hot temperatures, as this can cause them to warp.
Regularly check your retainers for signs of wear and tear, and replace them as needed.
