What is invisalign and how does it work?
Invisalign is an innovative orthodontic system that utilizes customized clear aligners (similar to ultra-thin splints) manufactured with precision 3D technology. These aligners exert controlled pressure on the teeth, gradually moving them until they reach the ideal position planned by your orthodontist.
Differential characteristics:
- Total transparency - Virtually unnoticeable during use
- Removable for convenience - can be removed for eating and cleaning
- Digitally customized for your mouth with millimetric precision
- No metal or wires to irritate your cheeks or gums
- Predictive technology that shows results before treatment begins
- Digital manufacturing process supervised by specialists
Each set of aligners is designed to perform specific movements on specific teeth. As you progress through the sequence of aligners, your smile is progressively transformed until the planned result is achieved.
Alignment problems:
- Dental crowding - Overlapping teeth or teeth with insufficient space
- Diastemas - Spaces or gaps between teeth
- Rotated or crooked teeth that affect aesthetics and function
- Protruded teeth or protruding excessively
Bite problems:
- Crossbite upstream or downstream
- Open bite that prevents contact between upper and lower teeth
- Deep bite where the upper teeth excessively cover the lower teeth
- Overbite or excessive protrusion of the upper teeth
