Orthodontics has experienced great advances in recent years. Aligners are transparent and removable splints, made as replicas of the teeth that follow a sequence of slight movements and that are adjusted over the teeth to straighten them.
The aligners exert pressure on the teeth and reposition them slightly as the development of clear aligners as a technique capable of treating the same malocclusions as braces, over time the teeth reach their ideal place according to the orthodontist’s initial plan. The total number of aligners will vary according to the needs of each patient. As with traditional orthodontic appliances, patients will need to wear retainers at the end of the treatment to maintain the result obtained, this system combines dental knowledge with the most advanced technology, it uses programmed movements in each pair of aligners to move the teeth with a predictable sequence, with this treatment it is possible to see a simulation of the result of your new smile.
The aligners are designed to move your teeth simultaneously without exerting excessive force, which reduces the discomfort and pain of orthodontics as it is known. Being planned movements, treatment times are reduced, so you can see your dream smile from 3 to 8 months.
These aligners are suitable for patients with mild to moderate crowding or minor spacing problems, but may not be appropriate for patients with severe crowding or spacing gaps. While aligners can correct mild malocclusion, patients with severe underbites, overbites or severe crossbites may require more advanced orthodontic treatment.
Its advantages are:
- Comfort
You will be able to brush as comfortably and as well as you did before wearing braces.
