Description
Invisalign Vivera — Retention Aligners After Treatment
Invisalign Vivera is a system of clear retention aligners custom-made for each patient. They are used after the completion of orthodontic treatment, both after Invisalign aligner treatment and after selected fixed appliance therapies.
Retention is a necessary stage of orthodontic treatment. After teeth have been moved, tissues need time to stabilize, and teeth have a natural tendency to partially return to their previous position.
Why are Vivera aligners used?
Vivera aligners help maintain the effect of orthodontic treatment. Their purpose is not to further correct the bite, but to stabilize the position of the teeth after completed therapy.
The use of retention is particularly important after treatment involving:
- crowding of teeth,
- gaps between teeth,
- correction of anterior teeth alignment,
- treatment of both dental arches,
- more complex orthodontic treatment.
Lack of retention can lead to relapse. In short: teeth have memory, but unfortunately not always the kind we desire.
Invisalign Vivera Price
The Invisalign Vivera price refers to individually manufactured retention aligners. Retention is a separate stage of treatment and should be planned after the completion of active orthodontic therapy.
For Invisalign treatment at Stomo Clinic, the prices for basic therapy variants cover the treatment of 2 dental arches. This approach allows for control not only of the alignment of individual teeth but also the relationship between the upper and lower arches.
You can read more about the importance of treating both arches in the article: why aligner treatment usually involves 2 arches.

How long are retention aligners worn?
The duration of wearing retention aligners is determined by the orthodontist. The retention regimen depends on the type of completed treatment, the patient’s age, the type of malocclusion, and the stability of the achieved result.
Most often, retention is applied long-term. Initially, the doctor may recommend more frequent wear of the aligners, and later limit it, for example, to nighttime.
Specific recommendations should always be individualized. Retention ‘at the patient’s discretion’ is a direct path to problems.
Invisalign Vivera vs. Invisalign Treatment
Vivera aligners are a supplement to orthodontic treatment, not a substitute. They are used after active tooth movement has concluded to maintain the achieved result.
At Stomo Clinic, retention is discussed as an important element of the entire treatment process. Patients receive recommendations regarding aligner usage and follow-up after therapy.
