Vivera Retainers: The Next Step in Orthodontic Treatment

Orthodontic treatments such as Invisalign braces or clear aligners can work wonders in transforming smiles and correcting dental misalignments. However, the journey to a perfect smile doesn’t end with the removal of Invisalign. After the active phase of orthodontic treatment, the next critical step is to maintain the results achieved.

Vivera retainers are a cutting-edge innovation that offers a reliable and effective solution to preserve the beautiful smile attained through orthodontic treatment.

 In this article, we’ll explore the significance of Vivera retainers and how they can be the next step in achieving a long-lasting, confident smile.

What is the Importance of Retainers?

Orthodontic treatment involves the gentle shifting of teeth to their desired positions. While braces or Invisalign aligners effectively move teeth during the active phase, there is a natural tendency for teeth to gradually shift back to their original positions over time. 

This is where retainers play a vital role. Retainers help maintain the alignment achieved through orthodontic treatment and they prevent teeth from reverting to their previous positions. They are used to preserve the investment made in a beautiful smile.

The Retainer Routine – Consistency is Key

It is important to wear your Vivera retainers for the length of time prescribed by your dental practitioner. Here are some tips to help ensure proper use and to avoid damaging your retainers.

ALWAYS REMEMBER TO

1. Rinse new retainers thoroughly with cold water prior to insertion.
2. Remove your retainers for eating and drinking, except when drinking water.
3. Brush and floss your teeth after each meal or snack prior to re-inserting your retainers. If you have any questions regarding your hygiene techniques, consult your dental practitioner.
4. Get regular dental checkups and cleaning done by your dentist.

By adhering to the retainer routine, patients can enjoy the lasting benefits of their orthodontic treatment and prevent the need for potential additional interventions in the future. 

Knowing the importance of retainers not only ensures the longevity of the investment in the smile but also instills a sense of responsibility for your oral health and well-being.

The Vivera Retainer Process

Obtaining Vivera retainers is a hassle-free experience, characterized by simplicity and efficiency. Patients can enjoy a straightforward process that ensures the creation of custom-made retainers to maintain their beautifully aligned teeth. With a focus on convenience and effectiveness, the journey to preserving that perfect smile is made easy with Vivera retainers.

• Impression or Scanning: After completing the active phase of Invisalign treatment, the dentist will take an impression or use digital scanning technology to create a precise 3D model of the patient’s teeth.
• Customized Fabrication: Using the 3D model, Vivera retainers are custom-fabricated to perfectly fit the patient’s teeth.
• Fitting and Instructions: Once the retainers are ready, the patient will visit the dentist to try on the retainers. The dentist will ensure that the fit is comfortable and provide instructions on wearing and caring for the retainers.
• Regular Wear: Patients are typically advised to wear their Vivera retainers for a prescribed period, usually during the day and night initially, and then transitioning to nighttime wear as the retention stabilizes.
• Follow-Up: Regular follow-up visits to the dentist will be scheduled to monitor the progress and effectiveness of the Vivera retainers.

Note: If you experience sharp pain or significant discomfort, discontinue use of the retainers and contact your dental practitioner immediately.
