In-house or Vivera Retainer After Invisalign?

I prefer the Vivera retainers, because you get a new set shipped dictly to you every few months. That way they are always nice and tight. I always include the first set of retainers in my original fee. I feel that the dentist that did the Invisalign treatment should not be making a large profit on the retainers.

There are a lot of factors that go into the decision for which retainer is best following any orthodontic treatment. It really doesn't matter how your teeth were aligned. Invisalign is just a tool used by your orthodontist to get the job done. Factors that affect which retainer will be best for you include your original malocclusion, the shape and size of your teeth, ability to clean the teeth, and compliance level. You should discuss these issues with the orthodontist that provided your treatment as he knows your case better than anyone. In my practice I select the final retainers based upon the original problem as it will tend to return in time if not maintained appropriately. Good luck!
