Invisalign

The Invisalign technique uses aset of transparent, removable aligners. This solution is effective and fast in most cases where orthodontics is required. Only rare cases necessitate a classical "orthodontics" treatment.
Comfort and aesthetics, meanwhile, are incomparable. Since the aligners are removable, you can remove them to eat and brush your teeth. Invisalign also means you don't have to set restrictions in your diet. As a result, there is much less irritation when wearing Invisalign aligners compared to conventional braces.
Because treatment planning is analysed virtually in advance, most visits during treatment are brief and only require a quick check.
The fitting of cleats is necessary, these are small supports bonded to the teeth made of composite resin. Fitting these is simple, and remains a very important step in achieving the desired movements.
In the presence of a missing tooth, transparent aligners make it easier to hide the gap.
Many companies are trying to copy Invisalign technology at a lower cost. This technology is very advanced and precise and gives incomparably better results than comptetitors.

Depending on the case, two types of treatment are used:

• • • Invisalign Full, for the most complex cases.
    • Invisalign Lite, for light alignments.

A range specially designed for teenagers called Invisalign Teen is available.

Perfect alignment of the primary teeth is not the goal. However, being able to expand or create small spaces between the primary teeth certainly increases the space for the permanent teeth. 

Parents worried about their teenagers' hygiene are reassured with Invisalign. What's more, young patients have no dietary restrictions. However, this solution does require regular attendance, so it's important to be serious about wearing the aligners.

Consultation:

     Our dentist carries out a series of diagnoses during the patient's first consultation for Invisalign. He or she will then explain the Invisalign treatment and how it can help you achieve your desired smile.  

Impressions

    A manual or digital impression is taken. The clinician then makes the diagnosis and completes the treatment plan online.

Start of treatment:

     We will contact you when your aligners are ready to begin your treatment.

The treatment involves wearing a series of clear aligners, each slightly different in shape from the next. Each tray is worn for around 7 days before proceeding to the next one.

The success of aligning your teeth with Invisalign depends largely on how long you wear them. Basically, they should be worn 24 hours a day, except for when eating and brushing. Following current recommendations, aligners should be worn for no less than 22 hours a day.
