Your commitment
During treatment for any type of orthodontics it is even more important to maintain excellent oral hygiene. Poor hygiene and inflammation of the gums slow down orthodontic treatment, causing gingival inflammation and enamel lesions that can lead to the suspension of orthodontic treatment if adequate hygiene and care habits are not maintained.
To prevent this from happening, our team will monitor your periodontal health throughout your orthodontic treatment to instruct you on how to keep your mouth healthy.
They must carry a minimum of 22 hours a day to fix the positions well, we only recommend removing them at mealtime, while brushing your teeth and when drinking hot drinks, to avoid damage to the splint. While you are not wearing it, store it carefully in its case to prevent it from deteriorating.
First of all, you have to do a personalized study, with x-rays, photos and models of the mouth. Next, a 3D simulation of the treatment is made, where the movements of all the teeth are simulated and, in addition, we will make a virtual finish of the case. Once we have the treatment plan, we start with the aligners, which will be changed every few days depending on the case, although visits with the orthodontist will normally be once a month.
Although each case is unique, in general terms reviews are carried out monthly. In each of the visits, we will assess how the movement of the teeth is evolving and if they are evolving as planned. If everything is going well, at each check-up several sets of aligners will be given until the next visit. Additionally, our team can treat and schedule cases remotely if the patient cannot come to the clinic.
The duration will depend on the complexity of the case. Normally it will be between 8 and 24 months.
It is important that you take delicate care of your aligners as they are essential to successfully complete the treatment, so whenever you take them off, keep them in their case and wash them before putting them back on.
With Invisible Orthodontics practically all malocclusions can be treated.
