What is Invisalign(invisible) Orthodontics?

Invisalign or invisible orthodontics is another method of orthodontic treatment that is the newest type of treatment in the category of orthodontic treatments in dentistry. This type of treatment is suitable for people who are sensitive to the appearance of the teeth for the presence of wires and do not want to use orthodontic wires and brackets. Transparent braces are made using computer technologies that estimate tooth displacement. In the same way, teeth can be arranged. In the following, we will talk about the types of treatment with the Invisalign orthodontic methods in the best dental clinic in Etobicoke

Types of orthodontics

Ceramic brackets

Ceramic brackets are the first type of invisible orthodontics that is made of composite and transparent. Their material is weaker and more fragile than metal braces. The size of ceramic brackets is larger than metal brackets and they are connected on wires made of plastic. These wires can be replaced every month. The braces are attached to the tooth until the end of the treatment, but they are not as strong as the metal type and need a longer time to stay on the tooth than the metal type. These types of braces are more expensive and fragile and require more care.

Clear liners are another type of invisible orthodontics

In this type of treatment, which is one of the types of invisible orthodontics, a clear and colorless levelling mould is used. These molds fit the teeth and have the least amount of pain. There will be no fractures or bruises in this type of orthodontics. You can take it out of your mouth when eating, drinking and brushing. In the case of clear liners, the dentist will prepare a 3D mold of your teeth.

Internal braces

The latest type of invisible orthodontics is internal braces. In this type of invisible orthodontic treatment, the brackets stick to the back of the tooth and are hidden from view. They use images inside the teeth to make these braces. Brackets in this type of method are attached to the inner parts of the tooth and can not be moved or moved. This method is a new method in orthodontic treatment that is more expensive than other methods. In this type of treatment, talking, maintaining dental hygiene, and removing plaque can be a little challenging.

Invisalign

These appliances are usually categorized based on their shape, appearance, or treatment. That means we have several different categories for orthodontic appliances. For example, fixed or movable devices are a common classification model in the orthodontic world. In this type of naming (or classification), the use of devices that adhere to the teeth throughout the treatment is called "fixed orthodontics" and the use of removable devices is also called "removable orthodontics".

There is also a time when appliances are categorized based on whether they are noticeable or not (invisible or not). In this classification model, the use of devices that are visible during treatment and others can easily notice that you have orthodontics is called "visible orthodontics" and the use of devices that are difficult to see is called "invisible orthodontics". In fact, in invisible orthodontics, the devices used to straighten your teeth are not so noticeable and in the eye as if they do not exist at all.

The time required for invisible orthodontics

The duration of invisible orthodontic treatment, depending on the type of braces used and the conditions of their use, is between 12 to 18 months and sometimes longer. Metal brackets work better than their ceramic counterparts because they are harder. In ceramic braces, the treatment time is longer and they have to stay on the tooth longer because they are less strong. Internal braces also take longer to heal. Clear liners take between 9 and 15 months to heal, and can sometimes vary from 12 to 24 months. This time depends on the degree of misalignment of the teeth.
