Answer: Invisalign or Vivera? The picture you show is neither Invisalign or Vivera. They appear to be clear "Essix" type retainers. They can, however, be fabricated to achieve minor tooth movement. Mostly, it mainly functions as a retainer. If it is digging into your gums, just request your doctor to trim it for you.

Answer: NOT Vivera Retainer after Invisalign The Vivera Retainer is made of a thicker proprietary plastic by Invisalign that makes it more durable then the aligner itself. Your photo shows an Essix retainer which is vacu-formed and was trimmed above the gum line. I would suggest seeing your dentist and explain your discomfort. They can trim it below the gum and polish any areas that are sharp. If it is too tight then you should convey that to your dentist. You may just need an adjustment or a new one needs to be made so that it is more comfortable. Hope that helps!
