Are retainers needed after Invisalign treatment?

[Kameron]

Hello. I will need to have orthodontic treatment to straighten my crooked teeth and I know with metal braces I will need retainers after the treatment is finished.What about Invisalign? Do I need retainers and how do they look like?

[Dr Georgiana Mirica]

After orthodontic treatment, whether it is fixed braces or Invisalign, retainers are always needed for quite a few years.

Invisalign have created Vivera retainers looking very much like the Invisalign aligners, that cover your teeth and which you will have to wear every night.
