Description
Clear aligners (Clear Aligners) are a modern orthodontic innovation that is extremely popular, especially among adults and teenagers who want to straighten their teeth without the visible appearance of conventional metal braces.
What are Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners, such as Invisalign, are medical-grade plastic aligners that are transparent (almost invisible) and removable.
- How do they work? Your dentist uses a 3D computer system to create a model of your teeth’s movement from the beginning to the end of treatment. Each set of clear aligners is then produced, gradually moving your teeth according to the planned plan.
- Usage The aligners must be worn almost continuously (on average, 20-22 hours per day) and replaced with a new set every 1-2 weeks.
Advantages of Clear Aligners
- Aesthetics and Nearly Invisible
• The most notable advantage is that the aligners are transparent, providing a very natural appearance and do not interfere with your appearance or confidence in daily life or work. - Removable
• Eating The aligners can be removed while eating, allowing you to eat normally without having to avoid hard or sticky foods. No food particles remain stuck in the braces.
• Easy to clean, allowing for easy and thorough cleaning of teeth as usual (brushing and flossing), reducing the risk of tooth decay and gingivitis. - Comfortable and less irritating.
• Made of smooth plastic, there are no sharp wires or brackets to injure the cheeks or gums, making them more comfortable and less painful than metal braces. - Few dentist visits.
• The dentist will provide a set of braces in advance, eliminating the need for monthly adjustments like with metal braces. Follow-up appointments are typically every 6-8 weeks. - See results in advance.
• With digital technology, patients can see tooth movement and the final results of their braces in advance before treatment begins.
Considerable Benefits (Disadvantages)
- High Cost
• Generally more expensive than metal braces due to sophisticated manufacturing technology and computerized planning. - Requires high discipline.
• Patients must be responsible and disciplined in wearing the braces strictly according to the prescribed schedule (20-22 hours per day). Failure to wear the braces for the full time will result in teeth not moving as planned and may prolong treatment. - Removal is required after eating/drinking.
• The braces must be removed after eating or drinking sugary/colored foods or beverages. (Excluding water) and you must brush your teeth before putting them back in, which may be inconvenient for some people.
