Align Technology’s Vivera Retainers with Precision Bite Ramps are the first retainers on the market that can be customized to provide additional support after deep bite correction, the company reports. First introduced in 2014 with Invisalign G5 Innovations, Precision Bite Ramps are designed to disocclude the posterior teeth or open the bite for improved efficiency in deep-bite Invisalign treatments. The prevalence of deep bite malocclusion is a common orthodontic occurrence worldwide.
Vivera retainers are an effective, aesthetic retention solution, according to Align Technology. Unlike other traditional clear retainers, Vivera retainers are made with the same state-of-the-art technology as Invisalign aligners, which employ 3-D digital imaging, proprietary clear thermoplastic material, and advanced fabrication technology to create a strong retainer with a precise, comfortable fit, the company says. Retainers must be strong enough to maintain tooth position, and Align Technology says its lab tests show that Vivera’s proprietary thermoplastic material is more than 30% stronger than other leading clear retainer materials.
