Then:

• The patient arrives at the consultation (assessment appointment).
• We first look at whether the patient is a good candidate for this type of treatment.
• Special diagnostic aids are sent which include radiographs, photos and digital models, and with these digital models we can predict exactly how many plates the patient will need in the upper and lower arch or if it is only one arch.
• When predicting how many plates are needed, the patient is told exactly how long the treatment will take.
• The plates come with the movements already incorporated and are changed periodically as the teeth move.

The plates also have to be washed very well before use, every time the patient brushes in order to be able to use them again.

The total duration of treatment depends on several factors, such as:

• The degree of crowding of the teeth.
• Patient motivation, since it is vitally important that the patient wears the aligners for as long as possible.
• The orthodontist will give you an approximate treatment time.

As with other orthodontic treatments, there may be some initial discomfort as the teeth adjust to each new aligner, but it is generally less painful than traditional braces.

The result of this type of treatment depends on the number of hours you wear them. They should be worn at least 22 hours a day, and should only be taken off when you are going to eat.

It is not painful, although you may experience some pressure during the first few days of wearing a new aligner.

You must schedule an appointment for an evaluation. Our orthodontic specialist will evaluate your case and provide you with a personalized estimate according to your dental treatment needs.

Before ingesting any food, the aligners must be removed; keep in mind that you must clean them once you decide to use them again.

They are a set of aligners that are changed every 3 or 4 weeks and these plates come with the movements already incorporated.

Invisible orthodontics is suitable for:

• Prevention and remedy of tooth wear.
• Bite adjustment to prevent or repair gum damage.
• Correct alignment of the jaws.
• Straighten teeth and molars.
