Vivera retainers, created by Invisalign, are a removable solution designed to keep your teeth straight following orthodontic treatment. After completing your treatment, wearing a retainer every night is essential to maintain your new smile and prevent teeth from shifting back.

Made with the same cutting-edge technology as Invisalign aligners, Vivera retainers use 3D digital imaging and proprietary thermoplastic material for a precise fit and comfortable feel. Re-ordering is easy if your teeth haven’t changed since your last set; we can request a new set from Invisalign based on the previously saved file.

Why are Retainers Important?

Studies show that without retainers, teeth can gradually shift back to their original position. This occurs after all forms of orthodontic treatment, but it can easily be avoided by using a Vivera retainer. By wearing these retainers after braces or Invisalign, you’ll protect your investment and keep your smile intact.

Why Choose Vivera Retainers?

Vivera retainers offer several benefits that make them superior to other options:

• Stronger & More Durable: They are 30% stronger than other retainers, which helps prevent teeth from shifting.
• Long-lasting: While other retainers may need replacing after a few months, Vivera retainers can last for years.
• Flexible & Comfortable: With flexibility for different usage needs, Vivera retainers offer maximum comfort without affecting your appearance or eating habits.
• Custom Fit: Made from impressions or scans of your teeth, these retainers provide a precise fit for added comfort.
• Aesthetic & Convenient: As they’re removable, you can take them out to eat and avoid food getting trapped.

How Long Do I Need Retainers?

The duration of wearing retainers depends on individual factors such as your age and the complexity of your treatment. Generally, the timeline for wearing retainers is:

• 12–22 hours per day for the first 3–6 months post-treatment.
• Night-time use only for 6–12 months after treatment.
• 3–5 nights per week after the first year.

Wearing your retainers as instructed will ensure that your teeth remain in their new, straight position, protecting the time and money you invested in your orthodontic treatment.

How Much Do Vivera Retainers Cost?

Invisalign Vivera retainers cost £495 for three sets of upper and lower retainers. This includes a full set of retainers, customised to fit your teeth, and ensures you have backups to use over time. These retainers are designed for long-lasting durability, so this investment will keep your teeth in place for years.

At W1 Dental, we also offer a convenient reordering service, so if your retainers need replacement or you require additional sets in the future, we can order a new set for you at £495 per additional set of three.
