Do you have an orthodontic problem that you are avoiding solving because you don't want to wear traditional metal braces?
You don't have to worry about that anymore! Aligners perfectly align your teeth and restore the beauty of your smile. They are comfortable, invisible, removable during meals and very easy to clean.
Crooked or misaligned teeth are a problem that makes people embarrassed about their smile and makes it difficult to maintain oral hygiene. Difficulty cleaning teeth can lead to cavities, periodontal disease, and other oral health problems.
Many people avoid orthodontic treatment because they are concerned about wearing traditional metal braces as adults. Fortunately, there is a more discreet and aesthetically pleasing method of straightening and aligning teeth.
At the Specialized Dental Clinic Bushkalova we perform orthodontic treatments with aligners from the company Dentaline, which have proven their effectiveness and excellent aesthetic appearance. They are an innovative and convenient method for achieving perfectly aligned teeth.
Advantages of aligners:
They are mobile. – when you eat, drink hot drinks or brush your teeth, you simply take them off and when you're done, you easily put them back in your mouth.
They are comfortable. – are made specifically for each patient, after taking precise impressions of the dental arches. They adhere tightly to the teeth, gently and gradually moving them to the best position for a new beautiful smile, obtained without discomfort.
They are invisible. – are made of transparent plastic. They are almost invisible when worn. Light and portable, they easily fit into everyday life.
Does not contain metal parts – no attachment hooks, wire or screws.
They have a quick and predictable result – the treatment takes place in a short time, and the final result can be seen in advance, through digital arrangement of the teeth, etc. motivational models. These motivational models are practically mock-ups of the desired smile.
Their shape is strictly individual. They are made according to the impression of the teeth of the person who will wear them. They indicate the very gentle pressure necessary to move the teeth. The standard treatment lasts several months, with one set worn up to 22 hours a day for one week. New aligners are used every week, with all sets ready at the beginning of the treatment.
Aligners should be removed during meals and when drinking liquids. They are also removed when brushing and flossing. The number of aligners and the treatment time vary depending on the specific orthodontic problem. To find out if aligners are the best solution for you, a consultation with a specialist orthodontist is mandatory.
They are most often used in the following cases:
Distance between teeth;
Crowded teeth;
Deep bite;
Open bite;
Crooked teeth;
Cross bite.
They are suitable for everyone. They achieve good results for mild to moderate orthodontic problems. They can be combined with traditional orthodontic elastics for mild to moderate bite correction. More severe cases require more complex treatment, which is usually done through braces.
Only a specialist orthodontist can determine whether treatment with aligners can be performed or whether braces should be used.
They should be cleaned regularly to prevent bacteria from growing on them and to maintain excellent oral hygiene. They can be cleaned with a mild soap or a special aligner cleaning solution, using a soft-bristled toothbrush. Finally, rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water to remove any residue from the preparation. Avoid hot water or cleaning with toothpaste, as this can damage the material they are made of and affect their effectiveness.
After completing orthodontic treatment with aligners, retainers must be worn to prevent the teeth from moving back into their original position. Retainers are worn 22 hours a day for the first 6 months and only at night for the next 6 months. For optimal results, excellent oral hygiene must be maintained. This includes brushing your teeth at least twice a day, flossing at least once a day, and visiting your dentist frequently for checkups.
They are made of transparent plastic, which makes them much more aesthetically pleasing. They are also removable, which makes it easier to brush and floss your teeth properly.
They are removed during meals and when consuming liquids other than water. A healthy diet should be maintained and hard and sticky foods should be avoided, which can damage or dislodge the aligners. After meals, teeth should be brushed and aligners cleaned before being reinserted.
They may affect your speech for the first few days as you get used to them. Some people initially have difficulty pronouncing certain words, but this usually goes away quickly. Speaking slowly and practicing correct pronunciation helps you adjust more quickly.
Aligners are a preferred dental treatment for minor to moderate orthodontic problems. Their main advantage is that they are almost invisible, which makes them a much more aesthetic solution compared to braces.
