It has to fall within the guidelines on the contract. Vivera will only cover a warranty retainer if it has been 6 months or less I believe since your last one was delivered. If you are currently in treatment then the Dr can order one no problem.

Some people use the term retainer for both the aligners and the final retainers. Mid treatment aligners sometimes can be skipped if one is lost, so if you JUST started #11 just wear #10 again until #11 is remade. If you are 10 days into #11, just move on to #12 (as an example). If treatment is over, and it is your final retainer, go to your dentist/orthodontist ASAP to have a new one made. There are many options, some quicker than others, but post-treatment retention is very important.

Permanent retained baby teeth are ankylosed to the bone meaning they are fused there. They cannot be moved by anything. This does not affect your invisalign though because the aligner can still fit over it with no problems. If the baby tooth is crooked then it needs to be pulled first before the...
If the gaps are due to past bone loss then the teeth can be moved closer together and close the gaps. If there are gaps up near the gumline called black triangles then the teeth can be reshaped and moved closer together to close those gaps also. Post a picture!
