Bonding re-done after Invisalign treatment? (Photo)

Question

I recently finished Invisalign treatment and had the bonding on my front right tooth replaced and bonding on my incisors removed and reshaped. My question involves two parts: 1. My dentist said I wouldn’t need a new retainer tray made after fixing the bonding. I want a second opinion. 2 . My dentist never gave me a retainer tray after my Invisalign treatment and I am still using the last tray in the treatment set. Is this typical? Should I be getting a new tray for my post treatment retainer?

Answering in order to your Questions:1.You can use the latest invisalign aligner as a retainer, but after a while it can wear out easily since the material is not as durable as a final retainer made of another material.2.The retainer should be used minimally every night, since teeth can move throughout life with or without veneers, so I recommend that you get a new retainer in the upper arch, minimally to sleep with it.
