For those who want beautifully straight teeth but are uncomfortable with orthodontic braces, we recommend Invisalign orthodontic treatment.
Gone are the days of painful, unsightly braces and years of orthodontic treatment.
Conspicuous and painful orthodontic treatment?
Many people say they don’t like the idea of having visible orthodontic appliances.
It is true that wire braces are noticeable, painful and, once fitted, are basically non-removable until treatment is complete.
There is an orthodontic treatment called Invisalign that is ideal for those who dislike these negative points.
What is Invisalign?
■ Invisalign is ‘invisible, painless and removable’ orthodontic treatment.
Invisalign is a treatment method that uses near-transparent mouthpieces (=aligners).
The aligners are custom-made: after wearing the first one, the patient wears the second one 7-10 days later, and so on, gradually moving the teeth.
The number of aligners can be as few as 20 or 30 and as many as 99, e.g. if the teeth are extracted and straightened. 52 aligners are needed for approximately one year of treatment, if one is changed every week.
The near-transparent aligners are virtually unnoticeable to others when worn.
As there is no metal protruding, damage to the cheeks or tongue and sudden onset of pain are rare.
They are also removable, so you can enjoy your meals as usual.
Aligners need to be worn for 20 to 22 hours a day.
Since you wear them for at least 20 hours a day, you will be constantly using the aligners except when you eat and brush your teeth.
This is the only disadvantage of Invisalign.
If you are a pain in the ass or forgetful and not confident about your wearing time… Invisalign may be rather unsuitable for you.
Some people think that the treatment time will be longer or that the result will be better with braces because it seems easier than with wires, but we stress that this is a misconception.
Of course there are some patients who can only be treated with wires, but there are many patients for whom Invisalign is by far the better choice.
The important thing is to trust your treatment to an orthodontist who understands the advantages and disadvantages of both and can make an informed decision about which treatment method is more suitable for you.
Orthodontic treatment can affect your health
Many people think that orthodontic treatment is for children or when they are young, but at our clinic, people in their 60s have also started Invisalign treatment.
The alignment of your teeth is not only aesthetically important, but also affects your health.
Today’s orthodontic treatment can help you regain your confidence and youthfulness with a little patience and effort.
