Mouthpiece orthodontics Invisalign is popular because it is less visible and easier to care for than conventional orthodontic treatment using wires.
Many people are now using Invisalign mouthpiece orthodontics, but how much does it reduce the burden of treatment compared to wire orthodontics?
Invisalign mouthpiece braces are discreet and easy to care for
Mouthpiece orthodontics is an orthodontic treatment that uses a mouthpiece (custom-made) orthodontic appliance to improve the alignment and bite of the teeth.
There are various orthodontic treatment techniques, one of which is the use of a transparent removable mouthpiece.
The main feature is that it is difficult to visually see that you are having orthodontic treatment.
Other features include the fact that with wire braces, the appliance cannot be removed, whereas with mouthpiece braces it can be easily removed, so there are no restrictions on eating and it is easier to care for the appliance.
Depending on the condition of the teeth, some patients experience shorter treatment times and less pain than with wire braces.
In addition, more and more people are choosing mouthpiece orthodontics these days, as it is safe to use even if you are allergic to metal.
What is the process of mouthpiece orthodontics?
First, we listen carefully to the patient’s concerns during a free consultation and consultation.
We will examine your teeth and jaws thoroughly to determine the current state of your teeth and the causes of your bite problems, and explain the treatment plan, duration and costs to address these issues.
Is the treatment period for mouthpiece orthodontics long? Short?
How long does it take to complete treatment?
Depending on the original alignment of the teeth and the condition of the oral cavity, approximately one to two years for cases that can be treated with mouthpiece orthodontics.
It used to be said that mouthpiece orthodontics takes longer than wire or backside orthodontics, but this is no longer the case.
The accuracy of identifying suitable cases has improved and the materials used for the mouthpiece have advanced.
Mouthpiece orthodontics uses a different method of moving teeth to wire orthodontics, but the knowledge and technology accumulated in this field has allowed treatment times to be as short as those of wire orthodontics.
In some cases, the treatment time may be shorter than with wire orthodontics.
Sometimes there can be an error between simulation and reality, at which time it will be necessary to re-mould the teeth again with an intraoral scanner and add a new mouthpiece.
In such cases, the treatment period may be longer than originally planned.
How often do I have to go to clinic?
Mouthpiece orthodontics often requires fewer visits than wire orthodontics.
At our clinic, you will be seen approximately every 6-8 weeks.
Some patients come from other states, so it is possible to reduce the number of visits if you ask us.
While the number of patients treated with mouthpiece orthodontics has been increasing recently, an increasing number of patients visit our clinic for a second opinion after having been treated with mouthpiece orthodontics but not with the desired results.
Mouthpiece (custom-made) orthodontic tooth movement simulation is the responsibility of the orthodontist in charge of orthodontic treatment, so there are inevitably differences in technique.
If you are considering orthodontic treatment, it is advisable to ask your dentist to show you the results of a patient with similar teeth alignment to yours from a treatment carried out by your dentist and check them carefully before starting.
Invisalign consultations at our clinic are currently free of charge.
