At any age, orthodontic concerns can cause discomfort. In addition to this aesthetic discomfort, people with a defective jaw posture or dental overlap may perceive difficulty in eating, speaking, or breathing. The at home teeth straightening methods solve these issues and magnify smiles.
However, many people are forced to wear braces that are uncomfortable, too noticeable, and complicated to maintain. Wearing dental aligners is a modern solution offering an alternative to traditional treatments. These transparent dental aligners are both discreet and very effective in correcting the majority of orthodontic problems.
The invisible aligner by aligners is indicated in the following orthodontic cases:
An overlapping position of the teeth, when the teeth cannot stand up properly, due to a lack of space in the jaw. In the long term, this can generate a condensation of dental plaque conducive to the profusion of germs and the development of cavities.
A large gap between the teeth caused by too small teeth, poor growth of the jaw, missing teeth… These concerns can reach the gums and subsequently lead to the loosening of the teeth.
A gap between the teeth and the top and those of the bottom
A tooth eruption, the growth of a tooth in an abnormal position.
Bruxism: teeth grinding at night.
Speech and chewing disorders.
Problems with occlusions: insufficient or too important closure of the mouth. They can cause advanced tooth wear and jaw pain.
In addition, aligners are more suitable for patients with fragile gums or increased periodontal risk.
OPERATION
During the first session, the dentist will observe the patient's dentition and thus assess the necessary corrections. Then, he will come and take the impression of the teeth in order to manufacture the aligners in accordance with the patient's morphology.
The orthodontist installs the aligners and shows his patient how to orient and place the device correctly.
You should visit the dentist every two to three months will aim to control the evolution of tooth movement and make new aligners.
Orthodontic aligners are placed using interchangeable braces.
These are made of custom thermoplastic and are invisible. The aligners are comfortable, practical, and painless and can be worn all day. They are renewed twice a month.
This regular change gently corrects the location of the teeth to achieve the desired result.
The duration of treatment is on average between 6 and 18 months.
It varies according to the complexity of the defects to be treated. Patients should maintain good oral hygiene by brushing their teeth several times a day and using dental floss.
Suites
The consumption of chewing gum is contraindicated because it can damage the gutters. Smoking is not recommended due to the risk of discoloration of the aligners caused by nicotine.
After wearing the aligners, a compression thread will be kept for several weeks to prevent the natural movement of the teeth.
Some people may experience discomfort from the pressure exerted to move the teeth. But this feeling is not similar to the pain caused by certain dental appliances.
Results
Perfect alignment can be achieved in about 1 year.
