When you finish treatment with Invisalign® aligners or braces, it’s time to focus on maintaining your beautiful results. This final phase, called orthodontic retention, involves wearing a retainer as directed by your orthodontist. At EverSmiles, you don’t need to have completed orthodontic treatment with us to receive retainer retention. Think of it as protection for the time, effort, and investment you’ve made, helping ensure your results last for years to come.
After completing orthodontic treatment, your teeth are naturally prone to shifting back to their original positions. Retainers are an orthodontic appliance that’s custom-fitted to your smile and designed to keep your teeth in place. By wearing your retainers as prescribed, you’ll preserve all the time spent straightening and perfecting your teeth.
At EverSmiles Orthodontics, we use Vivera retainers, made by the same company responsible for advanced Invisalign clear aligners. We trust this technology because it consistently delivers great results. Just like clear aligners, Vivera retainers are made from an ultra-durable, nearly-invisible material that is designed for your comfort. These retainers are also removable!
Keeping your Vivera retainer in great shape is essential for preserving your smile and supporting long-term oral health. Here are a few simple ways to take care of them:
If any of these sound like you or your child, Invisalign aligners may be the clear choice for achieving your best smile!
If you’re finishing up your active orthodontic treatment, congratulations! Ask one of our orthodontists about how long you’ll need to wear your Vivera retainers. For those who haven’t started treatment yet, begin your journey with a virtual screening or free consultation at our Northbrook Office.
