Invisalign is a kind of transparent plaque treatment used for dental correction. This method, which is used instead of traditional metal brackets, is an aesthetically more preferable and comfortable alternative. Invisalign is used to correct and align various irregularities in the teeth.
Provides A Personal Treatment Offer
Invisalign application takes place using transparent plastic plates specially prepared for the patient. The dentist or the orthodontist creates the treatment plan by shooting and analyzing 3D digital images of teeth and chin before treatment begins. This way, the treatment process and its results can be predicted.
Invisalign plaques, consist of a series of plaques, each of which will be put on for about 2 weeks. Plates slowly change the position of your teeth, allowing them to move towards the targeted aligned position over time. The duration of treatment may vary depending on the complexity of the problem to be corrected, but usually takes between 6 months and 1.5 years.
For Whom Is İnvisalign Suited For?
Invisalign is a suitable treatment option for many people
with various dental irregularities. However, it may not be suitable for everyone, and in some cases traditional braces treatment may be more effective. Some cases where invisalign therapy is appropriate are:
Mild to Moderate Crossing
Invisalign can be effective for people with mild or moderate perversion in the teeth. Transparent plaques can correct irregularities by gradually aligning the teeth.
Spaced Teeth
People with gaps ( spaced teeth ) between their teeth can benefit from invisalign treatment. Plates can reduce these gaps by getting the teeth closer to eachother.
Mild and Moderate Jaw Alignment Problems
For example, in some patients with jaw incompatibility, it may be possible to bring the teeth to the appropriate position with Invisalign therapy.
Adults Who Want to Fix and Align Teeth
Invisalign, an aesthetically less noticeable treatment method, is popular with adults.
Suitable Conditions With Young People
With some young patients, Invisalign can be used to align the teeth, but in this case the importance of treatment adherence should be emphasized because the plaques should be used regularly and appropriately.
Conditions Where İnvisalign Is Not Suitable
Extreme Crossing
Invisalign may not be effective in cases with excessive crossing of the teeth, and traditional braces treatment may be more appropriate.
Severe Jaw Alignment Problems
Invisalign may often be insufficient in cases with severe jaw alignment.
Temporary Dental Deficiency Or New Teeth Coming Out
Invisalign therapy may not be appropriate in cases where the teeth have not yet been completely removed or some teeth are missing.
Serious Disorders in Jaw Structure
If some patients have serious problems with the jaw structure, Invisalign may not be sufficient alone and surgical intervention may be required.
It is important to meet with a dentist or orthodontist to choose a suitable treatment option. By making a professional assessment, you will be selected as the most suitable treatment option.
What are the Advantages of Invisalign?
Invisalign therapy offers several advantages over traditional metal brackets. Here are the main advantages of Invisalign application:
An Aesthetic Appearance
Since the invisalign plaques are made of transparent plastic, they are almost invisible on the teeth. This way, an aesthetically unwanted image does not occur during the treatment process and does not affect one’s self confidence.
A Comfortable Usage
Traditional metal brackets can cause some irritation and discomfort in the mouth as they are in contact with the gums and cheeks. Invisalign plaques provide less discomfort because they have a smooth surface and offer the user a more comfortable experience.
Put in – Take Out
Invisalign plaques can be easily removed during daily activities such as eating, consuming drinks and brushing teeth, as they are removable. This does not restrict one’s eating habits and allows dental hygiene.
Less Dentists Visit
While it is often necessary to go to the dentist to adjust the traditional braces, it is sufficient to visit at certain intervals to replace the plaques in the treatment of Invisalign.
Less Pain and Discomfort
Pain and tenderness caused by metal brackets and wires in the teeth are less pronounced in the treatment of Invisalign.
Shorter Treatment Time
In some cases, Invisalign therapy can yield faster results than traditional braces treatment.
More Predictable Results
The targeted final position of the teeth in the treatment of invisalign is determined digitally in advance. This way, you can better predict what to expect during the treatment process.
In summary, Invisalign application is a desirable option for many people seeking dental correction treatment due to its advantages such as aesthetics, comfort and ease of use. However, the need for each individual to correct teeth may be different, so it is best to discuss with a dentist or orthodontist about your individual situation.
How Many Months Does Invisalign Treatment Take?
The duration of invisalign treatment may vary depending on the initial state of the person’s teeth and the complexity of the tooth irregularity that needs to be corrected. Usually, Invisalign treatment can take between 6 months and 1.5 years. However, this period is an approximate estimate and may differ depending on the individual situation.
The duration of invisalign therapy is determined by the dentist or orthodontist during planning of the treatment. By taking 3D digital images of your teeth, it is calculated how long the targeted corrected position will be reached. It is determined by taking into account factors such as how long the treatment will last, how many transparent plaques will be used and how long it should be fitted for each plaque.
It is important to use plaques regularly and accurately to successfully conclude invisalign treatment. Plates are typically put on for 2 weeks and then replaced with the next plaque. During treatment, regularly wearing your plaques as recommended by your doctor and maintaining them properly may affect the treatment process.
Invisalign therapy can yield faster results compared to traditional metal brackets, and you may need to visit the dentist less often. However, the treatment process of each person may vary, so it is important to have a detailed interview with your dentist about your treatment plan and expectations.
