Vivera® retainers are
manufactured using the
advanced fabrication
technology behind Invisalign
system aligners, resulting
in a precise, smooth, and
comfortable t. ey can
be used with Invisalign
system patients or any other
orthodontic patients.
All retainer options can
be fabricated from digital
impressions/scans provided
by your oce directly to
AOA. is technology may
allow for a more accurate
t due to the elimination of
impression-taking variables.
All of our acrylic designs
can be customized by our
acrylic artists using AOA’s
wide variety of colors,
custom art, and decals.
ClearCorrect retainers
are made with Zendura®.
Dental models (the
production molds) are
included at no additional
charge so doctors can
easily make replacements
in-house if the retainers are
lost or wear out.

e Adjustable COR (Clear
Orthodontic Retention)
Retainer is easy to use,
comfortable to wear, and
constructed of unbreakable
Biocryl. It delivers stability
and permits natural bite
function—especially
following extensive
orthodontic treatment—
because the biting surfaces
and edges are not covered.
Designed for nal retention,
the COR can also be used for
minor corrections.
e appliance can be
constructed with scalloped
wire to prevent ossing
issues.
is wireless patented
hybrid retainer combines
the aesthetics of a clear
invisible retainer and
the rigidity of a Hawley
appliance.
