What exactly is the Invisalign product?
Is it a form of orthodontic treatment using aligners?
Treatment of malocclusion no longer has to mean using traditional, metal orthodontic appliances, the associated discomfort, problems with normal eating and oral hygiene. At Baltic Ortho Clinic, we treat malocclusion using innovative transparent Invisalign aligners, which provide effects comparable to traditional braces, but with much greater comfort and convenience for the patient!
The most modern, the most technologically advanced and the most effective method of aligner treatment of malocclusion. In the course of therapy, you do not use traditional, more or less visible orthodontic appliances, but transparent aligners prepared especially for you – based on the treatment plan developed by an orthodontist specialist, day by day, millimeter by millimeter aligners move your teeth in the desired direction, so as to achieve full functionality and aesthetics of your smile.
INVISALIGN CLEAR ALIGNERS THAT STRAIGHTEN TEETH – HOW IS THE TREATMENT DONE?
At Baltic Ortho Clinic, the patient comes first - that is, your needs, expectations and possibilities. Treatment with Invisalign aligners is therefore fully personalized and comprehensive - we offer a full range of services, starting from diagnostics, through basic treatment, to the retention stage. How is Invisalign orthodontic treatment carried out in our clinic?
1. CONSULTATION VISIT
The first stage of Invisalign Treatment is always a consultation visit with an orthodontist. The doctor will conduct a detailed interview with you and perform the first initial examination of the condition of the oral cavity.
2. DIAGNOSTICS
After collecting the medical history and the initial examination, diagnostic imaging is necessary, usually including a cephalometric photo and a panoramic radiograph. Then, using a 3D intraoral scanner, a scan of the teeth is made, based on which a virtual model of your dentition is created. Thanks to this, the doctor can precisely diagnose the type of defect and its severity, and then – plan the entire treatment.
3. VISUALIZATION OF TREATMENT EFFECTS
Thanks to the innovative ClinCheck software, the doctor visualizes the effects of therapy using Invisalign clear aligners. Even before the treatment begins, you can see how it will proceed and what your smile will look like after its completion!
4. PREPARATION OF ALIGNERS
After planning the treatment and your acceptance of the plan, it’s time to make Invisalign clear aligners that perfectly match the anatomy of your mouth. How many aligners will be needed and how long the treatment will take depends on the type of malocclusion and its degree of advancement.
5. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
When Invisalign clear teeth straightening aligners are ready, you come to our clinic where the doctor shows you how to use them. On some teeth, special hooks can be placed (in a color perfectly matched to the shade of the teeth), thanks to which the aligners stick better to them, and their force and direction of action are more effective. Aligners must be worn 22 hours a day.
6. CHECK-UP VISITS
Every few weeks you come to our clinic for a check-up. An orthodontist checks whether the treatment is proceeding correctly and, if necessary, modifies the treatment plan.
7. RETENTION STAGE
After completing the main stage of treatment – when the teeth achieve the desired position – the obtained effects must be consolidated. This is possible thanks to retainers, the same as in the case of treatment with a fixed appliance. You wear them for a few hours a day, as long as your dentist recommends.
INVISALIGN CLEAR ALIGNERS THAT STRAIGHTEN TEETH – WHY IS IT WORTH?
Invisalign clear aligners are a true revolution in orthodontic treatment! Transparent aligners allow to effectively treat the vast majority of malocclusion, and at the same time they are extremely comfortable to use. What are the benefits of Invisalign aligner treatment?
- The aligners are practically invisible (or barely visible) to the environment! If you don’t want or can’t wear traditional braces for aesthetic reasons, Invisalign clear aligners are the perfect solution for you!
- You can remove the aligners yourself before eating, brushing your teeth or visiting the dentist. This does not affect the effects of the treatment in any way – it is only important to wear them 22 hours a day.
- The use of Invisalign clear aligners does not cause discomfort, abrasions and irritation of the oral mucosa, ensuring you comfort and convenience in every situation!
- Invisalign treatment allows you to shorten the treatment time by up to half compared to traditional braces – while maintaining the same effectiveness.
- Wearing the aligners does not impede speech or the normal functioning of the tongue, they can also be worn on teeth with extensive fillings, the lack of metal elements eliminates the risk of allergies.
- Follow-up visits are much less frequent during Invisalign treatment – usually every 2-3 months.
