Do I have to wear a retainer after Invisalign treatment?

Dr. Bibb might determine that your teeth could begin to shift after you've finished Invisalign treatment if you don't wear a retainer.

For many people, a nighttime retainer will be necessary to make sure their perfect smile persists.

How long will I need to wear a retainer after Invisalign treatment?

That depends on your case but typically somewhat longer than the duration of your Invisalign treatment.  

 

Invisalign has its brand of retainer called Vivera.

According to Invisalign, Vivera's retainer material is 30% stronger and twice as durable as typical retainer materials.

Vivera retainers are custom-fit for your smile, with your comfort in mind. Comfort is essential since you'll wear it while you sleep.

Doctors who have used Vivera retainers prefer them over typical retainers.
