Invisalign is the name of a technique that allows the alignment of the teeth through a series of aligners (new generation orthodontic aligners), very compact and completely transparent, which are custom designed for each patient.
They guarantee many advantages both from a technical point of view and from an aesthetic point of view, thanks to a comfortable, removable and minimally invasive compared to traditional orthodontic appliances. Its revolutionary features have convinced more than 3 million people in the world to try it with excellent results.
How does Invisalign work?
The first phase of the treatment consists of a preventive visit to our Sanident clinic or to a center specialized in this type of treatment, which will first of all perform the cast of the patient’s teeth, in order to understand if his conditions allow to adopt this procedure. Subsequently, the professional will plan a personalized program that the patient can consult at any time to know the result already at the beginning of the therapy.
As we have said, therefore, we start by wearing a series of custom-made aligners and to be replaced every two weeks, so that the teeth have the possibility to move slowly until complete alignment. Naturally Sanident will carry out periodic check-ups in order to ensure the correct evolution of the treatment, since each case is different and each patient needs different recovery times: hence the need to follow a personalized program.
Differences with traditional appliances
Unlike traditional orthodontic appliances, Invisalign uses constantly evolving technology, which, in particular, consists of a series of transparent and removable aligners, therefore very invasive and annoying from an aesthetic and practical point of view, since they avoid the patient metallic thread problem in the mouth.
An offer designed for young people
Invisalign has created a tailor-made program also for teenagers, who have different needs and requirements from adults, based on the different constitution of the teeth and the entire oral cavity. The offer, therefore, includes two types of treatment:
- the same program designed for adults;
- Invisalign Teen, tailored for teenagers.
Invisalign Teen: what does it consist of?
Being designed entirely for the youngest, Invisalign Teen provides for the positioning of the aligners, just like in the offer for adults, but with the following additional features:
- Compliance indicator, or indicators, placed on the aligners, blue, which over time lighten up to become transparent, indicating that the two weeks have passed and that the aligners must be replaced;
- funzioni che facilitano la crescita dei denti (canini, premolari e molari);
- 6 spare aligners are included, useful in case of deterioration or loss.
When to rely on Invisalign?
Invisalign is a technique that solves many teeth alignment problems, in particular:
- Dental crowding, or when the space available in the arch is insufficient to contain all the teeth in a linear and correct way;
- excessive space between the teeth;
- Cross bite, when the two arches do not perfectly match;
- Morso profondo, cioè quando i denti dell’arcata superiore sovrastano e coprono quasi totalmente i denti inferiori;
- Reverse bite, in cases where the lower teeth protrude from those of the upper arch.
Conclusion
The Invisalign technique represents a great revolution in the field of dental alignment, thanks to the use of invisible aligners, comfortable and tailored to the patient. They are removable, unlike normal appliances which are fixed and necessarily require metal wires; Furthermore, we must not overlook the fact that Invisalign allows everyone to monitor and ascertain the results of their own treatment even before starting it, thanks to the function of the personalized program.
