Retainers After Invisalign or Clear Aligners

Learn how retainers fit into post-clear-aligner retention and how Mavira can help with custom clear replacement retainers.

By Mavira Team Updated 1 min read

After Invisalign or other clear aligner treatment, retainers are commonly used to help maintain the result. Invisalign is referenced descriptively only; Mavira is not affiliated with Invisalign.

Retainers are not active aligners

A retainer is designed for retention, not to move teeth through a treatment plan. If your teeth shifted after aligners, ask your provider what to do next.
