Orthodontic practice Invisible Braces Amsterdam uses a series of plastic aligners (trays) from Invisalign. These are custom-made for each patient. They are used to gradually correct crooked teeth. The aligners are made from specially developed flexible plastic. Each aligner is usually replaced every two weeks.
An orthodontic treatment with Invisalign allows the teeth to be moved in the same way as with a regular orthodontic metal brace ('fixed appliances' or 'brackets'). If necessary, so-called attachments are also used.

Aligners are thin and transparent plastic dental splints (mouthpieces) that gradually achieve the desired tooth position by sequentially changing them.

Aligner treatment offers high aesthetics, comfort, and good results. They are barely visible, can be easily removed, and provide a pleasant wearing experience.

An Invisalign aligner treatment is used to correct crooked teeth in adolescents and adults, roughly from 8 to 88 years old.

The duration depends on the patient's wishes (the end goal) and the severity of the misalignment. Generally, straightening crooked teeth with Invisalign takes between six and thirty months. At the end of the treatment, retainers (night braces) are needed to permanently maintain the result. In consultation and upon request, a splint (thin metal wire) can also be placed behind the teeth. In case of a metal allergy, a plastic wire (PEEK retainer) can be placed.

Invisalign aligners usually need to be worn for 22 hours a day during the treatment period to achieve optimal results. However, you can (and must) remove them to eat and drink and to brush your teeth.

Yes, there are alternatives to Invisalign aligner treatment such as wearing conventional metal or ceramic braces: 'fixed appliances' or 'brackets'.

The costs of an Invisalign treatment vary between approximately 1500 and 4500 euros and are highly dependent on the complexity of the correction and the desired end goal. An individual cost consultation + estimate is necessary.

Yes, we provide various tips and advice at the start and during the treatment for a successful aligner treatment. Two important ones: The aligners must be cleaned regularly, and the wearing time must be adhered to according to the prescription and treatment plan.

Once the Invisalign aligner treatment is completed, regular aftercare is necessary to stabilize the achieved tooth position, for example by wearing retainers (night braces) or placing splints (metal or plastic wire) behind the teeth. After that, a biannual check-up is recommended.

The aligners are usually replaced every two weeks during the orthodontic treatment to ensure that the tooth or teeth are continuously moved into the correct position. A set of aligners can consist of 8 to 16 pieces or more.

To begin with, X-rays, studio photos, and a 3D scan of your teeth are taken. Then, a treatment plan and cost estimate are created based on desires, requirements, and possibilities. This plan shows how each individual tooth will develop from its current state to a final beautiful smile.

The costs of an Invisalign treatment are not fully covered by most health insurers. To cover these costs, take out an additional health insurance policy with the highest coverage level. Often, you need to pay a premium for a year before you can use the additional insurance the following year. Your monthly premium amount depends on individual contracts and insurance terms. Make sure to get informed by your health insurer in advance. For GDPR reasons, we cannot mediate between you and your health insurer.

It is important to clean the removable aligners regularly to prevent them from smelling. Use a soft toothbrush and warm water or a special cleaning agent for aligners (crystals) for this purpose. Avoid using mouthwash or cleaning agents that contain alcohol, as these can damage the aligners. Tip: use children's toothpaste.

Invisalign® is an approved orthodontic treatment method for correcting crooked teeth. Specially shaped transparent plastic aligners (invisible braces) are used step-by-step to gently move the teeth into the desired position.

These are specially made, transparent aligners that need to be worn in sequence. The number of aligners required varies depending on the severity of the misalignment. An aligner set can consist of 8 to 16 or more consecutive aligners. A treatment may consist of multiple sets.

The aligners generally need to be replaced every two weeks to progress the treatment. However, the orthodontist may prescribe a shorter or slightly longer replacement period.

The aligners should be worn approximately 22 hours a day, 24/7, for optimal effect.

The duration of the treatment depends on the severity of the bite anomaly. For most patients, the treatment lasts approximately 6 to 30 months.

Light pain or a feeling of pressure may occur for a short time during the treatment. However, this is normal and will quickly disappear.
