Vivera Retainers

Keep your smile straight

Vivera retainers are removable retainers from Invisalign. They come in 3 sets and will help you maintain your new smile.

You can also decide to have fixed wire retainers bonded to the back of your teeth in silver or gold, which will aid in maintaining your straight smile for many years to come.

30% stronger and twice as durable as other aligners.

What Is A Vivera Retainer?

Vivera retainer was created by Invisalign, a brand recognised worldwide as the most innovative in making aligners and orthodontic retainers from 3D models and using artificial intelligence.

Getting to know Vivera retainers

How long do ceramic braces take?

Ceramic braces can take between 18 and 36 months to straighten teeth. In cosmetic cases, where the only minor, front visible teeth are being straightened, ceramic braces can work their magic in only six months. How long treatment takes will depend on your bite condition or malocclusion.

Types of ceramic braces:

There are two near-invisible brace options:

  • Six-month smiles: Straightens teeth in an average time of six months.
  • CFast: Clear brackets that make cosmetic changes to the front teeth.

Benefits and limitations of ceramic

Whilst ceramic braces might be a good option if you’re self-conscious about having braces and need a discreet option, they might not be for everyone.

Benefits:

  • Less visible than metal braces
  • In some instances, can work faster than clear aligners
  • Choose your own colour that’s perfectly matched to teeth

Limitations:

  • In severe cases, ceramic braces will take longer to straighten teeth
  • More expensive than regular metal braces
  • More susceptible to staining

Ceramic brace alternatives

Clear braces are not the only discreet orthodontic option available; other options include lingual braces, which are like traditional braces, but they’re fitted behind the teeth and are, therefore, hidden from view.

Clear, removable aligners, like Invisalign, are another great option. Thin and completely transparent, Invisalign is made from plastic that fits comfortably over teeth. Although Invisalign is removable, it must be worn for at least 23 hours per day and can be removed to eat, drink, brush, and floss.

Another alternative is traditional metal braces, including multi-coloured or regular silver brackets. Costs from £1,500.

Adult brace treatment options

The below treatment options successfully treat crooked, misaligned, and overcrowded teeth, overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites. All treatments are also perfect for gapped teeth, although Invisalign cannot close gaps larger than 0.4mm.

Why Choose Vivera Retainers?

Advantages

Vivera is designed individually for each patient, based on cutting-edge technology created by Invisalign. Therefore, it is much more comfortable and efficient than a traditional retainer.

The Vivera is removable; you can take it off to perform oral hygiene, and it also allows you to eat without the hassle of metal wires.

Vivera is also made with a transparent material, which is highly discreet and resistant to breaks or imperfections.

  • Transparent and practically invisible
  • Made exclusively for you
  • Made with the same cutting edge technology used to make Invisalign® aligners
  • Less likely to crack or break compared to other transparent retainers
  • 2x more durable and 30% more resistant than other retainers

Many of our patients have chosen Vivera as a retention option because it is based on a technology that prioritises the comfort and durability of their treatment.
