If you have any questions about orthodontic treatment methods, feel free to reach out to us without hesitation.
Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment method that uses specialized software to design custom-made, clear, aesthetic, and comfortable aligners. These aligners are removable, allowing patients to take them on and off as needed.
A digital impression, also known as an “intraoral 3D scan,” is taken by the orthodontist and transferred to a computer. Using advanced software, a treatment simulation is generated based on the orthodontist’s customized plan.
With this personalized approach, patients can see how long their treatment will take and visualize the expected results through the simulation, allowing them to evaluate the outcome before starting the treatment.
Although age and timing are not as critical for adults in this treatment, the orthodontist’s examination and decision remain essential.
To begin Invisalign First clear aligner treatment, a child must have at least one molar and one incisor tooth present. Evaluation can typically be done from the age of 6 or 7. As with all pediatric orthodontic treatments, the orthodontist’s assessment is crucial in determining the appropriate course of action.
The aligners must be worn for 20–22 hours per day.
Patients undergoing clear aligner treatment should avoid eating while wearing the aligners and should not consume hot beverages with them on.
For proper oral hygiene, the most important factor is ensuring that both the teeth and aligners are brushed before wearing them.
Since the abrasive ingredients in toothpaste can cause micro-damage to the aligners, it is not recommended to use toothpaste for cleaning them. Instead, rinsing with water and gently brushing with a soft toothbrush is sufficient for maintaining aligner cleanliness.
iTero Lumina™ is an advanced digital dental scanner developed by Align Technology. Using this device, dentists can obtain high-resolution 3D images of their patients’ teeth and gum structures. This provides a more comfortable and faster experience compared to traditional impression-taking methods.
Yes, clear aligners are very effective in correcting mild to moderate tooth misalignment. They provide successful results with regular use and doctor supervision.
Yes, clear aligners should be removed when eating and drinking hot drinks. This will also help you clean your teeth more easily.
