Orthodontic treatment with (almost) invisible braces,
clear aligners from Invisalign
Advanced technology in digital orthodontics
An orthodontic treatment is a medical procedure. Straightening and moving teeth must be done very carefully. Root resorption, malocclusion, dental plaque, and caries are common problems. For orthodontists, the aesthetic aspect is just as important as having a neat and healthy set of teeth.
Photos and treatment plan
A comprehensive examination is necessary. Studio photos, 3D photos, and X-rays are taken. This way, we obtain an accurate image of your teeth. Based on this information, your wishes, and the end goal, the orthodontist creates a treatment plan. During the discussion of the treatment plan, the results of the examination are explained, and you receive a cost estimate.
Constantly changing aligners
A few weeks later, you can pick up the first sets of clear aligners. The fit will be checked, and you will receive usage instructions. In most cases, the aligners need to be replaced every two weeks to enable tooth correction. Each set of aligners is custom-made by computer to achieve the desired tooth movement step-by-step.
To remember...
- An EO, Extensive Examination, is mandatory.
- The treatment duration varies on average from six to thirty months.
- Suitable for both the upper and lower teeth.
- Change aligner every two weeks.
- Aligners should be worn 22 hours a day for optimal results.
- After the treatment, the use of a retainer (night brace) or placing a wire is necessary.
It is important to consult an experienced orthodontist to determine if aligners are the right treatment option for you.
Discipline and dedication
An aligner treatment requires discipline. The aligners should be worn for about 22 hours a day. The duration of the treatment varies depending on the complexity of the correction. An aligner treatment can range from a few months to a couple of years. In addition to maintaining good oral hygiene and visiting your dentist twice a year, it is important to follow the orthodontist's instructions carefully and come for regular check-ups.
Aftercare
It is important to keep the teeth and the (night) aligners clean. Good oral hygiene is important to prevent tooth decay and gingivitis. Clean the retainers daily with a mild soap solution and brush the teeth thoroughly. Additionally, it is wise to avoid sugary drinks and foods, as they can cause tooth decay.
Invisalign, the benefits:
• High aesthetics thanks to transparent aligners.
• Ease of wear, because aligners are removable.
• Results through precise planning and custom production.
• Shorter treatment duration compared to conventional braces.
