Invisalign

Contemporary Alternative to Braces

At kliniko we provide the finest orthodontic care while offering the most reputable brands. Invisalign is the perfect alternative to traditional braces. Patients often face the challenge of misalignment when it comes to their teeth. Traditionally, many dentists recommend braces to address this particular problem. The most common concern that patients tend to vocalize, is not wanting to spend a significant amount of time with a mouth full of metal brackets and wires. This concern is primarily because of the level of discomfort, as well as the distracting appearance that braces may display. Invisalign allows you to choose cutting-edge technology to straighten your teeth, without the visibility of displaying the pronounced metal equipment. These clear aligners are designed to straighten your teeth without people knowing you are doing so. Whether you are an adult or a teen, Invisalign may be the perfect solution for you.

What exactly is Invisalign?

Invisalign are “invisible” aligners which is the new innovative treatment addressing teeth misalignment. The brand name is derived from the invisible aligners that are designed for the correction of orthodontic problems. These aligners are known for their quick and effective results in comparison to traditional braces. Patients who need orthodontic correction often feel self-conscious about their crooked smile, however, Invisalign is able to alter the alignment of your teeth in only 6-18 months to obtain your desired look. It allows patients to maintain a mature and attractive aesthetic, and to obtain the straight teeth that they have been longing for. A notable consideration which patients address, is the amount of specialized care required in the commitment to traditional metal braces. Additionally, metal braces require patients to visit the orthodontist approximately once every month or two. Moreover, oral hygiene can be complicated when it comes to metal braces. Just brushing and flossing requires specialized tools and extra time. With Invisalign, kliniko provides expert application of the orthodontic devices, and the clear trays can be removed whenever it is time to brush or floss. This signifies that oral care is much easier and more straightforward in comparison to the oral care of metal braces.

The Invisalign Procedure

Before you are fitted with clear trays, you will be given a full dental examination. Additionally, your kliniko dentist will take both X-rays and dental impressions of your teeth. This consultation will be your first appointment, while a return visit is needed to actually install the orthodontic devices. The installation begins with the attachment of bumps that are the same color as enamel as your teeth. The clear trays place resistance against these bumps, thereby moving the teeth into their desired position.The dentist will have a series of these clear trays which will be personalized just for you. Each tray is worn for approximately two weeks, which will move your teeth about 1/10 of a millimeter. Towards the end of the straightening process, rubber bands may be added to the orthodontic devices to correct any issues regarding your bite.

Living with Invisalign

Most patients are delighted with how easy it is to live with Invisalign when they choose this exceptional option. The process includes the clear trays being removed for eating, drinking, and oral hygiene. It is recognized that the discomfort is minimal, and can typically be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. Patients begin to notice the visible difference of their teeth appearing to be straighter in only a short period of time.
