What are Vivera Retainers?
Are you tired of traditional retainers that feel uncomfortable and make you self-conscious? Then it’s time to discover Vivera Retainers. Vivera Retainers are made from clear thermoplastic material, giving you a discreet way to maintain your newly straightened teeth. These retainers are perfect for keeping your teeth where they need to be after braces, and can help prevent any recurrence of orthodontic issues. While they look similar to Clear Aligners, Vivera Retainers are thicker and more durable.
What sets Vivera Retainers apart from other retainers is that they don’t require the use of traditional impression putty. Traditional putty can be uncomfortable and stressful, especially for those with a sensitive gag reflex. With Vivera Retainers, you won’t have to deal with any awkward impressions or flossers.
Why Are Vivera Retainers Used Post-Treatment
Orthodontic retention is just as crucial as the active phase of teeth straightening, and it is accomplished using a variety of methods, one of which is Vivera Retainers. Here are some of the reasons why Vivera Retainers are used post-treatment:
Prevent Teeth from Shifting
After braces or aligners are removed, there is a risk that the teeth will shift back to their pre-treatment positions. This is because the ligaments and bone surrounding the teeth take time to adapt to the new position of the teeth. Wearing a Vivera Retainer ensures that the teeth stay in their new position and prevent any unwanted shifting.
Long-Lasting Results
The durability of Vivera Retainers is one of its biggest advantages. Unlike other retainer materials that may wear out quickly, Vivera Retainers can provide long-lasting results for years to come. They are made to withstand the daily wear and tear of everyday use and can last up to five years with proper care.
Comfortable and Discreet
Unlike other retention options, Vivera Retainers are clear and hardly noticeable. This makes them the perfect option for those who want to maintain their beautiful smile without having to sacrifice their appearance. Furthermore, they are crafted to fit your teeth perfectly, providing maximum comfort compared to other retainers that may cause discomfort.
What makes Vivera Retainers different?
Vivera Retainers are known for their superior quality and comfort. They are designed to keep your teeth in their new position after orthodontic treatment, ensuring that you enjoy a straight, healthy smile for years to come. But what makes Vivera Retainer different from other types of retainers? Here are a few key features that set them apart:
- Precision Fit
Vivera Retainers are custom-made for each patient using advanced digital scans and 3D printing technology. This means that they fit perfectly over your teeth, providing a snug, comfortable fit that helps prevent shifting and relapse. They are also made from a durable, clear material that resists wear and tear, so you can enjoy your new smile for years to come.
- Easy to Wear
Vivera Retainers are designed with your comfort in mind. They are made from a lightweight, low-profile material that sits comfortably in your mouth, even as you speak, eat, and drink. They are also easy to clean and maintain, simply requiring a quick rinse and brush to keep them in top condition.
- Strong and Durable
Vivera Retainers are made from a high-quality thermoplastic material that is resistant to staining, cracking, and breaking. They are designed to withstand the wear and tear of daily use, so you can depend on them to keep your teeth in place over the long term.
Benefits of Vivera Retainers
When it comes to maintaining your newly straightened teeth, a perfect smile doesn’t stop at the completion of orthodontic treatment. Vivera Retainers are an essential part of the orthodontic treatment process, designed to keep your teeth straight and healthy for years to come. Here are some of the many benefits of choosing Vivera Retainers:
Custom fit for maximum comfort
Unlike off-the-shelf retainers, Vivera Retainers are custom-made to fit your mouth perfectly. This means they are more comfortable and less likely to cause irritation or discomfort.
Made from transparent material
Vivera Retainers are made of a clear, thermoplastic material. This makes them nearly invisible, allowing you to wear them out in public without feeling self-conscious about your smile. You don’t have to worry about feeling embarrassed or awkward when wearing them as they are virtually transparent.
Preserves your new smile
After completing orthodontic treatment, it’s important to wear a retainer to help your teeth retain their new positions. Vivera Retainers are designed to keep your smile straight and healthy, even after you’ve completed your treatment.
Easy to clean and maintain
Vivera Retainers are very easy to clean and maintain, which means they are more likely to be used consistently. This is important because consistent use is key to maintaining your new smile.
Wear Schedule for Vivera Retainers
If you’ve been prescribed Vivera Retainers, you may be wondering about the recommended wear schedule. Here is a breakdown of how often you should wear your Vivera Retainers at different stages of your post-treatment journey:
3 to 6 Months After
Treatment
During the first few months post-treatment, it’s important to wear your Vivera Retainers diligently to help your teeth settle into their new positions. Your orthodontist may recommend that you wear your retainers for 21-22 hours every day, and remove them when eating or brushing your teeth. This helps ensure that your teeth don’t shift out of alignment during this period, as they are still adjusting to their new positions.
6 to 12 Months After Treatment
Once you’ve successfully worn your Vivera Retainers for the first few months, your orthodontist may recommend that you wear them for a few hours. Typically, this means wearing them only at night while you sleep. However, be sure to follow your orthodontist’s specific recommendations, as they may vary based on your individual case.
12+ Months After
Treatment
After you’ve worn your Vivera Retainers for more than a year, your orthodontist may recommend that you continue to wear them on a part-time basis or only as needed. By this time, your teeth should be much more stable, and the risk of them shifting out of alignment is lower. However, it’s still important to wear your retainers regularly to help maintain their alignment.
How Do I Clean My Vivera Retainers?
Maintaining your Vivera Retainers is essential for preserving their durability and ensuring optimal oral health. To have long-lasting and healthy retainers, it is of utmost importance to clean them regularly. Here are some tips on how to clean your Vivera Retainers and maintain them in optimal condition.
- Rinse your retainers daily
Depending on your oral hygiene routine, your Vivera Retainer may accumulate bacteria or calcified deposits that can potentially harm your oral health. Therefore, rinsing your retainers daily in lukewarm water can help remove any debris and keep them relatively clean.
- Clean your retainers with a soft brush
Using a soft bristle brush together with non-abrasive toothpaste or soap can help remove stains and other residue that might have collected on your retainers. However, avoid using toothpaste with whitening properties, as they may cause discoloration, weakening of the material or scratches on the surface.
- Soak your retainers in a cleaning solution
Soaking your Vivera Retainers in a special cleaning solution available in stores can help sanitize and refresh them. Use the solution according to the instructions on the packaging and make sure you rinse your retainers thoroughly afterward.
- Avoid using hot water
High temperatures can damage your Vivera Retainers and also deform them. Always use lukewarm water to clean or soak your retainers.
- Store your retainers properly
When you’re not wearing your retainers, store them in a closed case to protect them from damage and exposure to bacteria. You can also use a designated retainer pouch that comes with the retainers.
- Schedule a retainer checkup
Regular checkups with your orthodontist or dentist can ensure that your Vivera Retainers are fitting comfortably and functioning as they should to maintain your teeth in their proper position.

Orthodontic Experts offers Vivera Retainers at a cost ranging between $500-$1,000.
