Invisalign, the invisible braces
Written by:
As explains our specialist in Dentistry , Invisalign is an invisible orthodontics appliance that consists of a series of removable transparent masks and wearing it for about 14 days
These masks are different from each other in shape and ensure that the teeth will gradually move towards the desired final position. They are worn for much of the day (22 hours) and are removed only at meals, when brushing your teeth and using dental floss.
What are the advantages over other treatments?
Invisalign offers several advantages over conventional orthodontics; the first positive aspect to its 'discretion': is a transparent device. It is convenient because it can be removed during meals so you can eat any kind of food without the risk of gum redness or detachment of the bracket (attacks), as it does with traditional appliances to the teeth. In addition, you can practice any contact sports because there is the danger of filing or chipping your teeth when wearing masks. Hygiene is also safeguarded, given that Invisalign can be removed during dental cleaning.
What is the treatment of invisalign?
The Invisalign treatment starts with a comprehensive study by the dentist. Later, the specialist planning treatment according to the patient's teeth characteristics: exploiting some virtual computer programs you can view the options offered by the comprehensive treatments, pre-placement and post-placement of the mask. At this point the patient, together with the physician, will evaluate the best solution for your case, once agreed, will allow Invisalign to produce a custom mask. Once a month check-ups are carried out and, the treatment is finished, it passes to the phase of maintenance that involves the use of a night appliance.

For example, Invisalign is recommended for patients with significant gaps between the teeth or move some molars in problematic position. In addition, this type of invisible orthodontics has been very successful among the young, reluctant to wear the normal fixed appliances formed by rubber bands and brackets visible enough.
