Wearing a retainer after braces or Invisalign treatment is the only way to hold your teeth in place and maintain your new smile for life. At Aura Orthodontics, we offer several retainer options. And, because we’re a Diamond Invisalign provider*, we have access to perks that many other offices do not, including being able to provide our patients with a special offer on Vivera®️ retainers.
(*This ranking is based on Invisalign use data, and is not necessarily indicative of clinical superiority.)
What are Vivera Retainers?
Vivera Invisalign retainers are removable, thermoplastic retainers that look and fit very similar to Invisalign aligners. They’re designed to hold your teeth in their new positions when you finish orthodontic treatment. Vivera retainers are fabricated from a material that is clearer than conventional clear retainer materials. This means that most people won’t be able to tell you’re wearing them.
While we still offer Essix retainers for no additional cost, if you lose an Essix retainer, a single replacement set costs $600. Our Vivera retainers come in sets of four for $990. This is a great value and ensures you always have replacements on-hand.
