FEEL MORE CONFIDENT ABOUT YOUR SMILE
The advantage of clear aligners lies in their discreet and convenient nature, offering a more aesthetically pleasing and comfortable alternative to traditional braces.
Invisalign was the first brand in the world to invent a way to correct dental malpositions. For all this, through the use of clear, removable and virtually invisible aligners. Naturally, the aligners are made of a strong, flexible and biocompatible material created by Align Technology – SmartTrack – and are cut to the exact shape of the gum line for ease of use and removal.
This way the orthodontic treatment becomes very comfortable, since there are no brackets fixed on the teeth, nor metal archwires, springs or bands. The patient changes aligners once a week, and is given new aligners by the orthodontist at each visit. The greatest fear of adolescent or adult patients disappears: fear of pain.
With this type of orthodontic correction there are no emergency appointments because there are no poking, breaking or scratching parts. The patient can do his or her oral hygiene normally because you can remove the aligner appliances at the time of brushing.
ADVANTAGES
The orthodontist’s primary concern, particularly with teenagers, is the development of cavities during orthodontic treatment. However, the beauty of using clear aligners is that this worry diminishes. Additionally, you don’t have to restrict your diet because the aligners are removable, allowing you to eat whatever you want. This flexibility at meal times is a significant advantage, sparing you from the inconvenience of dietary limitations for the duration of treatment, all in pursuit of a more attractive smile.
Regarding the mechanics, initially, clear aligners were primarily effective in correcting minor rotations, slight inclinations, and similar issues. However, advancements in technology, coupled with the brand’s significant investment in orthodontic expertise, have now enabled the treatment to address a wide range of dental movements with maximum predictability and safety.
The treatment is carried out in stages, with each set of aligners destined to certain movements. However, if at each stage the teeth are not in the position intended at the beginning, the aligners can be remade at no cost to the patient.
With the digital technology, it is now possible to address various dental issues, including dental extractions for space closure, crossbites, open bites, and even distalizations. Therefore, this expanded capability is achievable through thorough operational knowledge and effective communication with the technicians responsible for meticulously planning treatments down to the millimeter.
TECHNOLOGY
In short, the digital set up treatment can be modified by the Orthodontist in order to optimize the treatment for your patient. After approval of this Clincheck, the aligners are manufactured in the USA and arrive in the clinic in less than 10 working days. If it is the future? I can’t say. But that it has everything to become the orthodontic system of choice for patients and doctors, it does.
Overall, clear aligners offer a convenient, comfortable, and aesthetically pleasing option for orthodontic treatment, making them increasingly popular among individuals seeking to straighten their teeth without the visibility and inconvenience of traditional braces.
