Achieve healthy teeth with Invisalign braces and the suitable cases for getting them

Invisalign, getting a bright, regular smile is the goal of many people, especially in youth, so many people want to adjust their teeth with braces without the unattractive appearance of metal braces. For this, some doctors recommend Invisalign, which we will present in detail in this article.

Invisalign

Invisalign is one of the types of clear braces used in dentistry. It consists of transparent aligners made of acrylic material that is customized for the patient after taking measurements of the teeth and mouth. It is used to treat many minor dental problems such as gaps between teeth, slight crookedness and crowding. It is characterized by being easy to remove and install, especially when eating or cleaning the teeth. In the following paragraphs, we will extensively discuss Invisalign in terms of its cost and installation.

Is clear braces effective?

Yes, clear dental braces are effective but in specific cases that do not require many adjustments, i.e. minor problems that may affect the teeth such as gaps or crookedness. In case of severe dental problems, metal braces can be installed first then clear braces for a few months.

We are committed to providing high quality Invisalign installation services to achieve excellent results at our dental care center.

Invisalign cost

Invisalign experiences

In this paragraph, we will present some experiences of Invisalign installation for some patients:

1. One patient says that at the age of 38, she suffered from losing many of her teeth due to a severe accident, which caused an unattractive appearance of her jaws and teeth. Even after installing metal braces, the problem of uneven jaws continued to annoy her, so her private doctor recommended Invisalign for 7 months, which helped improve the position of the jaws.
2. A 25-year-old patient says that since birth she has suffered from the presence of large gaps between her teeth, which caused her great annoyance and embarrassment to smile. For this, the specialist doctor recommended Invisalign, which she wore for 12 months. During this period, she made sure to keep wearing it until she got the final result of filling all the gaps that were between her teeth.

Invisalign before and after

Invisalign is one of the most important and simplest procedures in terms of installation. Its idea and results depend on the patient’s commitment to wearing it for the period specified by the doctor while taking care of dental hygiene. Doctors often use it after removing fixed braces, relying on it as a stabilizer for the teeth after braces.

A charming smile begins with Invisalign braces at our dental care center.

The importance of braces

Braces are one of the most important therapeutic procedures used to rearrange and organize the teeth in order to get the appearance of healthy teeth and an attractive smile. In this paragraph, we will identify the most important problems treated by braces:

1. In case of protrusion of the jaws.
2. If the teeth have problems with reversed or deep bite.

Types of dental braces

Braces are one of the most important therapeutic procedures used by dentists to treat teeth, and they have many types, including:

Traditional metal braces

It is one of the oldest types of braces used in the field of orthodontics. It consists of a device made of rust-resistant steel that is installed on the tooth surface, and works by the technique of pressure and tension in order to move the teeth to their natural position. That is why it is one of the most effective types, and the only drawback of metal braces is their unattractive appearance.

Ceramic braces

It is one of the most important types of fixed invisible braces, because it is made of ceramic material that is characterized by its transparency that blends with the teeth to form a good appearance. It works in the same way as metal braces in terms of method of installation and the technique of tension and pressure, and therefore it is used as an effective alternative to it, especially for patients who have metal sensitivity. But its disadvantage is that it is prone to breakage easily, so it requires special care.

Lingual braces

It is one of the types of fixed invisible braces, and therefore it is called hidden braces. It is made of rust-resistant steel. It is installed in the same way as metal braces but behind the teeth toward the tongue, making it invisible. Despite its effectiveness in treating many dental problems, it is difficult to install and clean, and its high cost does not suit all patients.

Clear aligners

It is one of the types of braces used to treat dental problems. Unlike metal braces, it is characterized by being easy to install and remove. It consists of a set of aligners that are worn for 21 to 22 hours a day to get an effective result. To learn more about fixed clear aligners, you can read the following article.

What are the suitable cases for using Invisalign?

Installing Invisalign braces is one of the procedures recommended by the doctor to the patient in the following cases:

• If the patient’s teeth are irregular next to each other.
• If the teeth have slight crookedness or crowding.
• In case the patient has problems with the bite.
• Presence of large spaces between the patient’s teeth.
• Inability of teeth to function properly.

How does Invisalign work?

Invisalign is one of the types characterized by its effectiveness, especially in minor cases affecting the teeth. The patient wears it for a long period in order to get results. During this period, Invisalign works by gently and steadily applying pressure and compression on the teeth in order to move them gradually to their original position. The patient begins to feel some discomfort, especially in the first days after installation, as a result of the pressure of tooth movement.
