INVISALIGN
HOW TO GET THE SMILE YOU HAVE ALWAYS WANTED, GAINING IN HEALTH
WHAT IS INVISALIGN?
The Invisalign are transparent splints made of a thermoplastic material for medical use that are made to the exact size of the denture because they are taking the optimal position marked by the orthodontist. After completing a thorough dental study, the specialist prepares a treatment plan with the gradual movements required to achieve the goal. In the end, this translates into a set or batch of aligners that, every week or ten days as prescribed, are changed and replaced by new aligners to produce the movements.
The main reason for patients' consultation is for aesthetics. But with this technique they also improve their health.
ACHIEVING:
Proper chewing and good digestion of food
Less tooth wear due to more even force distribution
Bruxism is reduced, and back, head, ear, and jaw joint pain
Makes brushing easier of the teeth, which helps to minimize the risk of cavities and periodontal diseases
Prepare your mouth for subsequent treatments, when it is necessary to place implants, aesthetic restorations or gum grafts
Solving phonetic problems. The poor position of teeth can hinder speech. Sometimes we work together with speech therapists

STEP-BY-STEP OF AN INVISALIGN TREATMENT
1.
First visit
Where the orthodontist evaluates the case and advises on the best treatment. It is important to talk with the patient to understand their needs and expectations
2.
Records taking
We have the latest technology using digital scanner, thus avoiding the uncomfortable measurements of silicone
3.
Clincheck
It is the simulation of dental movement. The patient can talk to his orthodontist again to find out how his teeth will look and how they will be corrected
4.
Delivery of aligners
Once the study is done and we know the goal we want to reach we ask for the invisible aligners
5.
Placement of the ataches
Small reliefs placed on some pieces to facilitate their movement
6.
Revisions
Depending on the movements we are making and the stage of treatment in which we are, we would have to make more or less revisions. Thanks to the Dental Monitoring we can carry out these checks from home
7.
Additional aligners
If we have not got it initial objective, we can take back records to get the result we want
8.
Retentions
Teeth have "memory", they tend to go back to where they were before. Hence the importance of putting retentions. We have two types:
- Removable
- Fixed
Frequently asked questions
Is invisible orthodontic treatment painful?
During orthodontic treatment you may notice discomfort, especially the first few days when your teeth start to move. One of the great advantages that aligners provide is that they do not cause the typical sores and wounds of braces.
¿Cuánto tiempo durará mi tratamiento?
The duration has to be evaluated by a specialist, since it will depend on the initial position of the teeth.
Can I eat anything?
Yes. Because they are removable aligners, the patient can eat all kinds of food.
Are they resistant?
Aligners perfectly resist the forces they have to exert to move the teeth. Patients who tightened the teeth at night are not a problem, since aligners are changed every 1 or 2 weeks.
Is it a treatment for everyone?
Currently, we can treat any type of bad occlusion with transparent aligners, both in adults and children, but it must always be the orthodontist who evaluates each case and advises which is the best alternative for each specific case.
How often do I have to come for the visit?
The most normal is that visits are every 1 or 2 months, always depending on the movements being made and the stage of treatment in which you are.
Some patients have to postpone their visits for personal or work reasons. In our center we have the necessary technology to perform a remote control thanks to Dental Monitoring.
What is the difference between different brands of invisible orthodontics?
The pioneer brand in invisible orthodontics is Invisalign, being the one we apply in all cases. It is essential to highlight that no orthodontic technique is responsible for treating the patient. The orthodontist is the treatment provider, and it is very important to choose a good professional.
