Discover the advantages of invisible orthodontics for adults.
Invisible orthodontics has revolutionized the treatment of malocclusions and dental misalignments, especially among adults looking for a discreet and comfortable solution.
What is invisible orthodontics? It is a series of custom-made clear plastic aligners, manufactured with 3D digital technology, that gradually move the teeth to the desired position. They are replaced every 1-2 weeks.
Advantages over traditional braces: Virtually invisible to the naked eye, removable for eating and brushing, more comfortable without wires or metal brackets, require fewer office visits, and offer predictable results thanks to 3D planning software.
Who is a candidate? Aligners are ideal for mild or moderate malocclusions: crowded, spaced teeth, crossbite or open bite. For complex orthodontic cases, conventional braces are still the best option.
How long does treatment take? It depends on the severity of the case. On average, a complete treatment lasts between 12 and 18 months. Simple cases can be resolved in 6-8 months.
Important care. It is essential to wear the aligners at least 22 hours a day, remove your aligners to eat, and brush your teeth before putting them back on. Once the treatment is finished, it is necessary to wear a retainer to maintain the results.
