Invisalign Vivera Retainers
Vivera clear retainers developed by Invisalign. Precise digital impressions with iTero scanning, delivered as a set of three, offering premium protection for your orthodontic results.
Support Your Orthodontic Results with Vivera's Premium Protection System
After orthodontic treatment is complete, maintaining the new alignment of the teeth is one of the most critical stages of treatment. Vivera clear retainers, as the retention solution developed by Invisalign, aim to make this protection process more comfortable, more aesthetic, and more organized. At our clinic, impressions for Vivera are taken with the iTero digital scanning system. This allows for a more precise, more comfortable, and fully digital process. The retainers are manufactured abroad and delivered as 3 sets for upper and lower arches, providing backup replacements.
Your teeth are scanned with iTero immediately after orthodontic treatment is complete. This digital record captures the exact final position for retainer fabrication.
Vivera retainers are manufactured by Invisalign using the same precision technology as treatment aligners, ensuring a consistent and accurate fit.
You receive 3 sets of upper and lower retainers in a dedicated storage case. When one wears out, the next set is ready, ensuring uninterrupted protection.
Vivera night retainers are used alongside fixed retainer wires for comprehensive protection. This dual approach minimizes the risk of teeth shifting back.
What Is a Vivera Clear Retainer?
Vivera is a clear retention retainer system manufactured by Invisalign. It is planned to help maintain teeth in their new positions after orthodontic treatment. Thanks to its clear structure, it offers aesthetically comfortable use, and being manufactured from digital impressions means it is custom-produced for each patient. It is a strong option especially for patients who want a regular and reliable retention process.
Vivera is a specialized retention retainer system developed by Invisalign. It stands out with its digital planning, product standards, and multi-set advantage.
A digital intraoral impression is taken with iTero at our clinic. Based on these records, the retainers are manufactured abroad and shipped to our clinic.
Vivera retainers are prepared as 3 sets for upper and lower jaws. This provides the patient with the advantage of having backup replacements.
Create Your Custom Retention Plan with Digital Impressions
The most important aspect of retention treatment is precisely recording the current position of the teeth and manufacturing the retainers accordingly. In the Vivera process, impressions are taken with the iTero digital scanning system. This provides both a more comfortable impression experience and allows the retainers to be manufactured in a custom, detailed, and controlled manner.
- Digital intraoral scanning is performed with iTero.
- The impression process is planned more comfortably than traditional molds.

Why Is the Vivera Retainer Different?
Vivera is a retention retainer developed by Invisalign and offered only at Invisalign-certified clinics. Unlike traditional vacuum-formed retainer trays, Vivera retainers are produced from iTero digital scan data. This means each retainer fits precisely to the final post-treatment position of your teeth.
Vivera is delivered in sets of 3. When a retainer wears out or gets lost, you can immediately start using the next one. This ensures uninterrupted protection during the retention process.
Vivera and Fixed Retainer Wire: Which Is Necessary?
These two methods are not alternatives to each other but complementary. A fixed retainer wire is bonded behind the teeth providing 24/7 protection, but it only holds the teeth it is bonded to. The Vivera retainer, as a night tray covering all teeth, also provides support to areas that the fixed retainer wire cannot protect.
At Doredent, when Invisalign or braces treatment is completed, our standard protocol is to apply both methods together: upper and lower fixed retainer wire + Vivera night retainer. This combination minimizes the risk of orthodontic relapse.
Is a Vivera Retainer the Same as a Night Guard (Bruxism Splint)?
No. The Vivera retention retainer is designed to maintain tooth position. A night guard (bruxism splint) absorbs teeth grinding and clenching forces to protect the teeth and jaw joint. The material thickness, hardness, and purpose of the two are different.
For patients with both retention and bruxism concerns, both need to be planned together. In some cases, the same tray may partially serve both functions, but in most situations, separate appliances are recommended.
What Happens If I Neglect Using My Retainer?
When retainer use is discontinued, teeth slowly begin to move back toward their original positions. Crowding in the lower front teeth, gap reopening in the upper teeth, and bite irregularities are the most common relapse signs. Minor shifts can be corrected quickly with Invisalign, but advanced shifts require longer treatment. The best strategy is to prevent shifting from starting at all.
