What is Retainers & Vivera?
Retainers hold teeth in their new position after braces or Invisalign, because teeth naturally try to shift back. We offer Vivera retainers from the makers of Invisalign — custom-fit in minutes and 30% stronger and twice as durable as other leading retainer materials. Lost or broken? We can make a new set even if you finished elsewhere.

Can you make retainers if I was treated elsewhere?
Yes. We can scan and make new retainers.

Rinse and gently brush with cool water and mild soap. Avoid hot water, which can warp it.
