Initial consult summary: -no aligner needed on top arch due to perfect alignment. -0.5mm shaved off L + R sides of lat. low. incisors bilat. Invisalign targetting low. 4 front teeth. -Vivera retainer indefinietly. Concern is doing invisalign for single arch may create disharmonious bite e.g. post. open bite. However crowding is minimal so could my case be the rare few where single arch aligners are indicated?
About 15 years ago I had invisalign done. I was good about my vivera retainers for a while but at some point years ago I stopped wearing them consistently and eventually they stopped fitting. My teeth have shifted some but nothing terrible. If I got a second round of Invisalign would they adjust them back to my original results? Would my old vivera retainers fit?
Vivera, plastic, or hawley? I completed invisalign treatment with a general dentist about 2 years ago. Great results. He insisted I get the Vivera retainers and replace them every few months. The dentist has since gone out of business (completely abandoned his practice), so I have no idea how to get new retainers. My new dentist suggested a hawley retainer, but he reports that he doesn't have much experience with invisalign. Please help!
I finished my Invisalign and I've been wearing my final trays while waiting for Vivera to arrive. Last night I lost my trays and my bottom teeth shifted quickly. Will Vivera move the teeth back into proper position or will I have to reorder the Invisalign trays to move them back into proper place?
I finished my Invisalign treatment at the end of 2015, and decided to go with Vivera retainers. I wore my last Invisalign tray for a month while I was waiting for my retainers to come in. I received 4 Vivera retainers and all I was told was one of the retainers was a bit thicker to correct tiny gaps and the other 3 were identical and to keep around as backups. Was this not correct information about these retainers, and will I have to replace my all 4 of my retainers in a year?!
I was told by the Orthodontist that I do not need to change it till i see cracks. Have been wearing it for 1 year without any issue. Do i need to go back to the client that did my Invisalign treatment to make Vivera retainers?
Just started Vivera and am noticing that my teeth are shifting. Do my Vivera fit properly? Are my teeth shifting as a result of not fitting properly? Photos below. Hopefully you can see. I'm not applying pressure. I just used dark objects hoping that you can get a better picture of the fit
finished my invisalign treatment, and now I purchased the vivera retainers (3) , afterward I needed a crown - unfortunately the crown was not made to fit my retainers- the dr. punched a hole in the one retainer for now, I am asking for my retainers to be replaced at no cost to me - they were expensive and the crown was to be made to fit. the dentist is now saying she doesn't think she can do it at no cost? what is my recourse?
I had traditional braces but instead of getting the Hawley retainers, I told my general dentist, who specializes in Invisalign, to order me the viveras. He took impressions of my teeth and told me he was going to ship them out the same day. It's been 2 weeks now and I still haven't gotten anything or a call from him.. Does any other Doctor know how soon you get the retainers?
