Invisalign aligners

Are you tired of malocclusion? Are you dreaming of a beautiful smile, but you don’t want to wear braces? Modern technologies do wonder. Moreover, today you don’t need to wear metal braces to correct your smile. Correction of malocclusion using the Invisalign aligners is a revolutionary solution without braces.

WHAT IS THE INVISALIGN SYSTEM?

The product is an individually fabricated set of aligner trays. The structure is providing maximum directional pressure against the teeth. Therefore, teeth begin to displace in the intended direction. When the pressure disappears, the tray should be replaced by the new one.

Depending on severity of a case and specifics of a patient, 10-50 aligner trays may be required, as they are used in defined sequence. Average duration of treatment is 12-18 months.

HOW DO THE INVISALIGN TRAYS WORK?

After aligner tray has been fixed to the dental arch, it strains and takes the shape of teeth. Then the aligner tends to take its initial shape in use, bringing certain pressure upon teeth. The pressure is calculated at the production stage. As for tray fabrication, a 3D treatment model is created to see clearly how and where the teeth will move, and also the final result. The doctor must show this model and coordinate all essential moments with patient.

Aligners may deal with a wide range of problems:

  • teeth gap
  • dental superimposition and teeth crowding
  • teeth displacement
  • cross or open occlusion with insignificant mandibular displacement

HOW OCCLUSION CORRECTION IS PERFORMED USING THE INVISALIGN TRAYS?

Occlusion correction using the Invisalign trays provides the following stages:

1. Dentist’s advice, examination and assessment of the dental arch state;
2. Diagnostics (gathering information about specificity of the patient’s occlusion);
3. High-precision casting, photographs of teeth and face;
4. Based on the obtained data on the patient, the dentist uses software to define how teeth will be moving during treatment;

5. A virtual detailed treatment plan is drawn up;
6. Based on all the data obtained, the trays are fabricated;
7. The set of trays is sent back to the office. Your dentist explains how to use Invisalign trays correctly and monitors the treatment process.

RESULT

The treatment process will perfectly match the results simulated by software, if all the dentist’s recommendations are adhered. Using invisible trays, you won’t even notice how quickly time will pass. Thanks to the practical material, the process will be comfortable and unnoticeable.
