IS IT POSSIBLE TO CORRECT A BITE WITHOUT BRACES?

Using Invisalign aligners INVISALIGN

• Recently, manufacturers of mouthguards have improved them so much that they can be used to correct any dental anomaly.
• However, the use of aligners is only suitable for disciplined patients. The orthodontist must ensure that the patient removes the mouth guard only when eating. If the mouth guard is in the mouth less than 22 hours a day, the dentist cannot guarantee a positive result.
• Among the disadvantages of treatment with mouthguards is the high cost of the design.

Aligners are custom made from silicone or polyurethane.

The duration of treatment with mouthguards in adults depends on the degree of dental anomaly.

IMPORTANT: OUR ORTHODONTIST WORKS ONLY IN OUR CLINIC AND IS AVAILABLE TO PATIENTS 5 DAYS A WEEK. YOU WILL RECEIVE THE MOST CAREFUL TREATMENT. BEWARE OF BEING TREATED IN CLINICS WITH A COMING ORTHODONTIST WHO IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING.

ADVANTAGES OF INVISALIGN ALIGNERS

• The structures are invisible in the mouth.
• Safety of the material for tooth enamel.
• They are easy to care for.
• Wearing the structures is completely painless and does not cause discomfort.
• If necessary, the mouth guard can be removed.

Nutrition

One of the advantages of aligners is that during the period of correction of defects, you should not give up your attachment to a particular type of food. There is also no need to follow a special diet. This is possible due to the fact that the aligners must be removed before eating.

Experts explain that during the entire course of correction, the chewing apparatus should continue to work under the usual loads. Naturally, you shouldn’t eat solid foods often, but you can still allow them sometimes.

It is not recommended to drink drinks in mouthguards that can easily stain them: wine, coffee, juices. The polymer quickly changes its color from food colorings that are found in these liquids.

DISADVANTAGES OF USING INVISALIGN ALIGNERS

Reviews from patients who underwent bite correction without braces are both negative and positive. The presence of negative reviews is due to the fact that the bracketless correction method has a number of disadvantages:

• The main disadvantage is that this method has limitations for correcting anomalies in adults.
• The method is not suitable for correcting complex malocclusions.
• It does not affect the formation of the dental system, since it is already formed.

In some cases, after the correction, the teeth tend to return to their previous position.

To prevent this from happening, they are held in place using mouthguards or retainers (fixed arches connecting the teeth on the tongue side).

SAPPHIRE BRACES - THE MAXIMUM AESTHETIC BRACKETS FOR TEETH ALIGNMENT.

Invisalign aligners will help you cope with dental defects. We will give a detailed description, photos, indicate prices and provide reviews on them. This removable plate system has become a serious competitor to conventional and even sapphire braces, as they are practically invisible and can correct orthodontic problems.

It is not easy to order such a design, because it is produced only in the USA, and a doctor who has undergone special training in this technique must install and make the necessary diagnostics for correct bite correction. But the many advantages of its use are worth spending money on expensive aligners and finding an affordable specialist in this field.

Flaws

Even such a high-tech system has its drawbacks, some of which can be called relative:

1. The device is used to treat only adult patients whose dentofacial apparatus has completed its formation.
2. The use of mouth guards immediately after surgical procedures is not allowed.
3. Severe cases of occlusion or severe displacement of units of the dentition cannot be corrected by this system.

Their long production time can also be called a relative disadvantage. Considering that the product is manufactured only in the USA, shows good correction results, is reliable and is of high quality, this period does not matter for many patients.

FEATURES OF Invisalign ALINERS

Invisalign aligners are specially designed to be invisible and clear. These are removable structures that help to straighten the bite, correct the naturally incorrect position of the teeth and form a beautiful, harmonious smile.

The technology used to make such mouthguards was created by the American company Align Technology and, apart from them, no one else in the world yet produces similar orthodontic structures at the same high level of performance.

Therefore, you will have to wait some time for a set of custom-made mouth guards. After all, all casts and photographs will be sent first to America, and then delivered to the Russian Federation.

Not every doctor has the right to work with such a teeth straightening system. He must undergo special training and have all the skills to diagnose and predict the future correction of dentition defects. The mouthguards themselves are created using automated robots, which eliminates any error.

To correct the bite, you need to take into account the complexity and causes of the disorder. The number of plates used and the correction time depend on this. Approximately every 2-3 weeks you need to remove the previous aligner and install the next one.

They are created in such a way that at each stage the position of the dentition or jaw is gradually corrected due to the necessary pressure on hard tissues. A very important point in the treatment process is to constantly wear the structure. It should be removed only for hygiene procedures and during meals.

Prices

The cost of a course of correction with Invisalign aligners is calculated for each patient separately, since it completely depends on the condition of his oral cavity, the severity of the defect, and the duration of treatment.

This also includes payment for taking impressions from the dentition, sending data to the laboratory, modeling and the manufacture of products.

Correcting a defect with aligners will cost the patient approximately from 110 thousand rubles to 250 thousand rubles.

Usually the exact figure is announced by the doctor at the first appointment after examination and drawing up a treatment protocol. The cost, naturally, is quite high. But the patient also requires self-discipline, responsibility and willpower to achieve results.

Advantages and disadvantages of orthodontic structures

Most of all, this bite correction system is compared to braces. But they have significant differences:

1. Braces are permanent structures and are worn continuously throughout the treatment period. And the aligners have special attachments that make it easy to remove and put on the plate.
2. Braces, no matter how beautiful or transparent they are, are still visible on the teeth; Invisalign aligners remain completely invisible to others.
3. Due to a medical error when installing braces, the treatment process can be significantly disrupted, sometimes leading to unexpected results. When creating aligners on a computer, all future corrections are predicted and changes in the position of teeth can be monitored in advance.

In addition to the obvious differences with standard bite correction systems, aligners have a number of advantages:

• Aesthetic appearance and complete transparency make it possible to wear them in any situation without causing psychological discomfort to the patient. From the outside they are completely invisible.
• Elastic and thin material does not spoil diction.
• Since the structure is removed during meals, this completely eliminates the need to adhere to any diet.
• By carefully trimming the edge of the mouth guard, exactly according to the shape of the gum, injury to it is eliminated.
• Mouthguards are created exactly according to impressions, so they fit perfectly to the teeth, do not fall off while wearing and do not cause discomfort.
• When hygienic cleaning is carried out, the aligners must be removed. Therefore, additional processing will not require brushes, special brushes, irrigators and other devices.
• The hypoallergenic material from which the aligners are made is suitable for all patients, even those with hypersensitivity to various substances.
• Dental correction is carried out as efficiently as possible.
• The aligners remain transparent throughout the entire treatment period without staining.
• Simple care for them only involves using a special disinfection solution. No additional manipulations are required to clean them.
• Visits to the dentist are minimal. The doctor just regulates the time, how much to wear and when to change the aligner to the next one.
• The soft and gentle action of the aligners promotes uniform correction. Medical errors are virtually eliminated when the entire process is automated.
• Ease of habituation significantly reduces the adaptation period.

Aligners have much fewer disadvantages:

• They can only be used with a fully formed bite. They are not used in pediatric dentistry.
• It is also prohibited to use mouthguards after surgery.
• Due to the fact that aligner systems are manufactured in only one place, you will have to wait a long time after ordering them.
• This also entails a fairly high price, which for many becomes the main obstacle to using this treatment method.

Reviews

Elena, 28 years old

For a long time I did not dare to take up bite correction due to my reluctance to deal with braces. After learning about the Invisalign system, I saved up the required amount of money and managed to change my smile for the better, which I was completely satisfied with.

Alexandra, 32 years old

Working on local television made the factor of a beautiful smile zone very significant for me. I spent only one year on correction using Invisalign plates and I was completely satisfied with the result.

Galina, 35 years old

Being already at a fairly mature age, I did not dare to install braces, considering them to be the lot of children and teenagers. Meanwhile, it was necessary to correct the curvature, and I used this technology. Wearing it was accompanied by quite a decent amount of pressure on the teeth, which I felt quite well, but the result was one hundred percent worth it.

INDICATIONS AND CONTRAINDICATIONS FOR THE USE OF ALINERS

Most orthodontic problems can be easily corrected with Invisalign aligners. They are an effective treatment method for malocclusions and other dental defects. In addition, they are also recommended for patients to wear after completing treatment with braces to maximize the results. The main indications are the following:

Tremas or diastemas, that is, gaps between teeth, visible spaces.

1. Crowding of varying degrees and forms.
2. In the presence of prognathic, direct, open, cross or mesial bite. Almost all of their types can be easily corrected with these plates.

Only certain cases may be contraindications:

• skeletal pathologies, when disorders affect not only the dentition;
• changeable bite;
• presence of impacted teeth, problems with their eruption;
• psychological diseases.

The only caveat is that this system is used only for adult patients, or, in extreme cases, for adolescents. Indeed, with an unformed bite, it is very difficult to foresee changes in the dentition, and pressure on baby teeth can lead to their more severe deformation.

Types of mouthguards and treatment programs

Each mouthguard is unique, as it is made individually for each patient, depending on age and clinical characteristics.

But there are several treatment programs:

• Invisalign Full (from 10 to 50 aligners). A complete set of aligners for cases of any complexity.

• Invisalign Lite (up to 14 aligners). Suitable for correcting minor violations.

• Invisalign Teen. Kits for teenagers with an indicator showing whether the child has been wearing the mouthguard for the prescribed amount of time.

STAGES OF TEETH ALIGNMENT WITH ALIGNERS

The patient will not have to spend much time in the dentist’s office. The stages of correction using Invisalign aligners are simple:

• An initial examination by a doctor involves identifying the defect, its shape and complexity. If necessary, additional treatment of carious cavities is carried out if any are found.
• An impression of the jaw is made on which orthodontic structures will be installed, and X-ray diagnostics and computed tomography are also performed. This is done in order to collect as much information as possible about the structure of bones and teeth, and to correctly anticipate their behavior under targeted influence.
• On the computer you can see how the position of the dentition will change and, with the patient’s consent, the order is sent to the manufacturer.
• A series of plates is created for individual characteristics with an accurate calculation of future treatment. Depending on the complexity, there can be from 7 to 44 pieces.
• This kit is sent to the clinic where the order was made, and the patient is given it along with detailed instructions for use.
• The doctor teaches the patient how to remove and put on the aligners, and may also schedule the next appointment to monitor the progress of treatment.
• At the last stage, the orthodontist checks the effectiveness of the method and makes recommendations for maintaining the achieved result.

Stages of treatment

The patient will not have to spend a lot of time; the algorithm of actions in this case will be as follows:

1. Preliminary examination, diagnosis, identification of the degree of complexity of the problem and sanitation of the oral cavity as necessary.
2. Taking an impression of the jaw, x-rays and tomography, which will allow you to collect the most complete data about the jaw system and bones.
3. Creating a computer model and making changes to it if necessary.
4. Order for the production of plates.
5. Arrival of structures at the order address, installation and consultation of the patient on the issues of their removal and wearing.

There may be a need to perform additional manipulations, for example, grinding teeth, removing individual units, etc. Such steps must be performed if more space is needed in order to properly place the aligners in the mouth.

CARE OF ALIGNERS

In order for the treatment to proceed as quickly and effectively as possible, you need to strictly adhere to the rules:

1. Mouth guards should be worn at least 22-23 hours a day, every day.
2. Do not expose your aligners to hot water or boiling water, otherwise they will be damaged.
3. The mouth guard should be periodically disinfected.
4. You cannot eat with the aligners on your teeth; they are removed during this time.
5. Don't forget about careful and regular oral hygiene.
6. When records are removed or awaiting their turn, they should only be in special cases.
7. Sometimes you need to visit the dentist to monitor the treatment process.

You will have to wear the aligners for 6 to 24 months. The correction time will largely depend on the pathology. This process is also influenced by the constant wearing of the mouthguard. If it is removed more often than required, the treatment will take a longer period.

Contraindications

Mouthguards are an effective method that corrects almost any developmental disorder of the dentition. But still, for this system, there are certain contraindications.

In cases of severe malocclusion or severe crowding of teeth, the use of aligners is not advisable.

To obtain the desired effect, it will be necessary to pre-treat with braces. And the aligners can be used after this, as a fastening device.

The main serious contraindication is age of at least 12 years. Most often, dentists recommend starting treatment only after 14 years of age, when the jaws are fully formed.
