Inivisible Orthodontics

Crafting Radiant Smiles: Transformative Orthodontic Solutions for a Confident Tomorrow

What are invisible braces?

Invisible braces are removable, transparent dental appliances made from thermoplastic material. Through prior, personalised digital planning, we produce a sequence of drops, which fit onto your teeth and promote movement. Each drip is slightly different and represents a step in your treatment. You have to wear them for 22 hours a day for 1-3 weeks and then change to the next tray until you achieve the desired tooth position.

What are the benefits?

You can speak and smile with confidence while wearing your aligners, as the vast majority of people won't notice you're wearing them;
You can remove them to go to a special event more confidently;
Excellent alternative for those who don't want to wear fixed metal braces;
Being removable facilitates proper oral hygiene;
Its high technology allows you to visualise the expected evolution of the treatment and the final result on the computer before you even start wearing the aligners.

How it works?

Orthodontic study

Case planning, budget and visualisation of virtual results

Placement of the aligners

1. The purpose of the first consultation is to gather information so that we can personalise the treatment plan to your case and your expectations. It is very important for us to understand the reasons that led you to want to improve your smile and to clarify your initial doubts. During this consultation, photographs are taken, the arches are moulded and two x-rays are prescribed, which are essential for the diagnosis and planning of your case. 2. At the second appointment, we'll show you which aspects we can improve using the photographs from the previous appointment, you'll be able to check the expected tooth movement with each aligner using a virtual simulation and, above all, you'll be able to confirm that the final result is in line with the reason you decided to start orthodontic treatment. At the end of this consultation, you will be entitled to a document prepared exclusively for you, which will include your photographs and the treatment budget. Your budget with aligners includes: Personalised plan for your case, Simulation of the case using digital software, Written report and estimate, Placement of the aligners, Control and follow-up appointments, Oral hygiene kit, Final containments. 3. The next appointment will be the most exciting, as it's when we'll put the first aligners in your mouth. 4. Check-ups: These are necessary to assess whether your treatment is going as planned and to check that your gums and teeth are healthy. Unlike conventional braces, these check-ups can be more spaced out, every two to three months, depending on your case and stage of treatment. 5. Restraint: After finalising the movements, we want your teeth to remain in the desired position. This can only be guaranteed with the use of retainers, which can be fixed or removable.

FAQ

Is this appliance for me?
It's for you if you want to improve your smile as discreetly as possible.

Can invisible braces treat all cases?
Aligners can treat all cases that can be treated with metal braces.

How long does treatment take?
Treatment time is directly related to the complexity of the case and the amount of time the patient wears them every day. The fewer hours you wear the aligners, the longer the treatment takes.

Do the aligners cause pain?
They don't cause pain, just a slight discomfort when changing aligners.

If I have a special event like a wedding, can I not wear them during that time?
Yes, this is undoubtedly a major advantage of this range of braces. Although they are very discreet, if you still don't feel comfortable wearing them on such a special day you can remove them for a few hours and resume treatment as soon as possible. Remember that the fewer hours you wear the aligners, the longer the treatment will take.

How much does treatment with aligners cost?
This is a prestigious appliance that is associated with greater financial outlay. This is due to the detailed planning of all the movements prior to treatment using 3D software and also to the associated high technology that allows this appliance to be invisible, comfortable and effective.
Remember that the final cost already includes all the appointments you will have to make when the aligners are fitted and also includes the final retainers, among other things.
