Vivera retainers are clear and durable, designed for keeping teeth in their place after Invisalign treatment. They're made from high-quality SmartTrack material, similar to Invisalign aligners, but thicker for long-term use. A single set of Vivera retainers can last years with proper care. When comparing Vivera and Essix retainers, Vivera stands out for its durability, up to 30% more than other clear retainers. Unlike devices that apply pressure to straighten your teeth, such as ceramic braces, Vivera retainers maintain tooth position. They differ from types of braces and Hawley retainers in their material and purpose. To create these retainers, a digital scan of your teeth is used, ensuring a perfect fit. Vivera retainers are easy to clean and come with several backups.
