What is invisible orthodontics?
Invisible orthodontics is an orthodontic treatment that uses transparent aligners to correct the position of the teeth. These aligners are custom-made for each patient and are made of an almost invisible transparent material.
Unlike traditional metal braces, invisible aligners are removable and are changed periodically to gradually adjust the position of the teeth until the desired alignment is achieved.
How long does the treatment with invisible orthodontics take?
The duration of treatment with invisible orthodontics can vary depending on the complexity of the case and the individual needs of the patient. Generally, treatments typically last between 6 to 12 months, but some simpler cases may be completed in a shorter time, while more complex cases may require more time.
The orthodontist will design a personalized treatment plan that will include the estimated duration of the treatment, as well as the frequency with which the aligners should be changed to achieve the desired results. It is important to follow the orthodontist’s instructions and use the aligners as recommended to ensure that the treatment progresses effectively and the desired correction is achieved.
What is the ideal age for treatment?
There is no ideal age for using invisible orthodontics, everyone can use it.

Comparison of traditional orthodontics and invisible orthodontics.
Irritation: Metal brackets and wires can cause irritation on the cheeks, lips, and gums, especially at the beginning of treatment or after adjustments.
Difficulty in oral hygiene: Metal braces can make brushing and flossing difficult, increasing the risk of plaque buildup, cavities, and oral health problems.
Dietary restrictions: Some sticky, hard, or crunchy foods can damage metal brackets or get stuck between them, requiring special precautions in the diet.
Impact on sports activities: Metal braces can pose a risk of mouth injuries during contact sports, as the brackets and wires can cause cuts or injuries to the lips and gums upon impact.
Aesthetics: Invisible aligners are preferred by those who want to correct their smile discreetly.
Comfort: Invisible aligners tend to be more comfortable and less likely to cause irritation.
Versatility: Invisible aligners may be a better option for those with active lifestyles or who participate in contact sports, as they are less likely to cause injuries upon impact.
Hygiene: Being removable, invisible aligners facilitate oral hygiene since they do not interfere with brushing and flossing.
Minimal adjustments: They generally require fewer adjustments than metal braces since they are changed for new sets of aligners approximately every two weeks.
