There are several types of retainers. The one I use is Vivera which is very similar to your aligners in design. You get 4 of them sent to your house over a one year period. Each one should be worn for 8-10 months. So it turns out to be about a 3 year program. Love it. Don't use the Invisalign retainers thru their company. They don't last very long.
Most of the time, the fee is separate from the Invisalign, but part of the "case fee". If you were to call to shop fees for Invisalign, you would be told something like "full cases are $XXX".

Invisalign doesn't cause teeth to move in an improper direction. So the answer is no. If her teeth moved too far out its because she needed room on the lower teeth and they will be brought back at the end of treatment. As answered above teeth dont just jump out of your head on their own. The dr...
While we have seen people elect to replace the aligners every week instead of the suggested 2 weeks, what appears to happen is the result is not as stable. The ultimate goal is achieved, but over time the teeth tend to migrate. Anecdotally, it seems the bone never had a chance to settle. The...
We have been doing Invisalign almost as long as it has been around. Certain cases are better handled by conventional orthodontics. That being said,the majority of our Invisalign patients are over thirty, and many over 50. It is a great alternative for those that are in the public eye or would...
