We explain 12 important points to know about invisalign treatment, which makes no one understand that you are being treated with its transparent appearance.
In orthodontic treatments, most patients do not approach treatment because they are uncomfortable with the appearance of the braces. However, with invisalign treatment, one of the latest technologies in orthodontic treatments, it has become possible to straighten teeth without using wires. Caretta Istanbul Dental Clinic is the best dental clinic in Istanbul for Invisalign treatment.
It is possible to straighten the teeth as desired with custom made transparent plaques. Here are 12 important points to know about invisalign treatment:
The usage period of each plaque is 15 days and each plaque provides 0.25-0.55mm of movement in the tooth.
Invisalign treatment can be applied to both young and old people.
There is no stinging or wound in Invisalign treatment as there is no wire or metal part in the mouth.
Invisalign treatment does not adversely affect daily life. It does not cause speech disorder and the person can continue his/her business life without any interruption.
You can remove plaque as you wish during meals, brush your teeth and floss whenever you want.
The most important feature of Invisalign aligners is that they are almost completely invisible. No one but you will be able to notice that you are wearing clear aligners.
Patients do not realize whether the plaques are in their mouths after 1-2 days of acclimatization period.
There is no need to remove plaque when drinking sugar-free beverages at normal temperature, such as water. However, it is recommended to remove plaques while drinking hot and sugary drinks such as tea.
Before starting Invisalign treatment, all caries and dental calculus must be cleaned and all maintenance procedures in the mouth must be completed. Because after the impression is taken for the plaque, no action is applied in the mouth.
In Invisalign treatment, there is no pain and tension as in orthodontic braces, but there may be discomfort for a few days with each new plaque. This is normal and is an indication that there is a force on your teeth.
In Invisalign treatment, plaques should be worn for at least 20-22 hours a day.
During the treatment, anything can be eaten, but the teeth must be brushed and the plaques cleaned before the plaques are re-inserted.
