¿What is Invisible Orthodontics?

Invisible Orthodontics is one of the aesthetic orthodontic systems most demanded by patients and in Quito you get it at the Asiri Dental Center.

This preference is mainly due to its high level of aesthetics, comfort and accuracy in the treatment result.

“Transparent orthodontics” is the latest in orthodontics and is based on the use of invisible, individualized, removable aligners that are also called clear aligners or dental aligners and they are very similar to dental retainers.

The aligners are manufactured with planning of the treatment objectives in a computerized way so the results are much more predictable.

The systems of aligners or transparent aligners are designed to perform gradual and safe dental movements, that is to say orthodontics without brackets.

This accuracy is achieved through CAD-CAM technology by scanning the prints or direct intraoral scanning.

Aligners have a number of advantages over conventional orthodontic systems

• Aesthetics,
• greater cleanliness
• Comfort of use for the patient
• More effective treatment of dental malpositions (malocclusions)

Aligner systems or transparent aligners are designed to make gradual and safe dental movements without metal attachments, that is, orthodontics without brackets.

This accuracy is achieved through CAD-CAM technology by scanning the impressions or direct intraoral scanning.

Advantages of Aligners

Invisible aligners offer a number of advantages over traditional orthodontic systems:

• Aesthetics: Undoubtedly, one of the biggest advantages is their discretion. Transparent aligners are virtually invisible, allowing you to smile confidently throughout your treatment
• Comfort: Aligners are custom-made and manufactured with soft materials, making them much more comfortable to wear than traditional braces. Plus, they don’t cause sores or chafing in your mouth.
• Removable: You can remove your aligners to eat, drink, and brush your teeth. This makes it easy to maintain good oral hygiene and allows you to enjoy your meals without restrictions.
• Predictability: Thanks to 3D technology, your orthodontist can show you a simulation of how your teeth will look at the end of treatment. This allows you to visualize the final results before starting.
• Hygiene: Being removable, aligners make it easier to clean your teeth and gums.
• Fewer visits to the orthodontist: Visits to the orthodontist are usually less frequent than with traditional braces.
• Faster treatment in some cases: In some cases, treatment with invisible braces can be faster than with traditional braces.

Problems that Invisible Orthodontics Solve

In general terms, orthodontics based on invisible aligners solves problems of malocclusion (bad bites) that are the cause of many dental problems such as bruxism and even pain in regions close to the mouth.

In the following detailed article on dental malocclusions, you will be able to have more information about it.

Risks of invisible orthodontics:

• Tooth enamel demineralization: If you don’t maintain good oral hygiene and frequently consume sugary drinks without removing your aligners, you may experience demineralization of your tooth enamel.
• Initial discomfort: At the beginning of treatment, it’s common to feel some discomfort or pressure on your teeth. However, this usually decreases as your teeth begin to move.
• Plaque retention: If you don’t clean your aligners properly or brush your teeth after every meal, plaque can build up, which can lead to cavities or gum disease.
• Risk of losing aligners: Aligners are removable, so there’s a risk of losing them. It’s important to follow your orthodontist’s instructions and handle them with care.
• Undesired results: In rare cases, and if the treatment is not carried out by a qualified professional, you may experience undesired results such as gaps between your teeth or malocclusion.

It’s important to note that most of these risks can be avoided by following your orthodontist’s instructions and maintaining good oral hygiene.

To minimize risks, I recommend:

• See a certified orthodontist: It’s essential that the treatment is performed by a professional with experience in invisible braces.
• Follow your orthodontist’s instructions: It’s important to wear your aligners for the prescribed amount of time and attend all follow-up appointments.
• Maintain excellent oral hygiene: Brush your teeth and floss after every meal and before putting on your aligners.
• Clean your aligners daily: Follow the cleaning instructions provided by your orthodontist.
• Avoid hard or sticky foods: These can damage your aligners.

If you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to ask your orthodontist.
