Invisalign aligners are a modern alternative to traditional braces that allow us to correct your bite without metal arches and locks. The system of transparent caps is made individually for each patient using 3D scanning. The design is designed to evenly affect the teeth, gradually moving them into the correct position.
Thanks to the SmartTrack™ material, aligners have better elasticity and a tight fit to the teeth, which improves control of tooth movement and reduces treatment time. Over the past 20 years of development of Invisalign technologies, 18.9 million people around the world have changed their smiles, including more than 5 million teenagers.
Astra Dent in Warsaw offers aligner treatment using the iTero Element 5D scanner, which creates an accurate 3D model of the dentition. Orthodontists are trained in Europe, which guarantees the safety and effectiveness of therapy. Official Invisalign aligners are used, which are comfortable, invisible, and do not require braces.
What are Invisalign aligners?
Invisalign are removable, transparent aligners designed to straighten teeth. They are made of an elastic material that provides a better fit and predictable movement of the teeth. Treatment begins with a digital scan, after which a 3D bite correction plan is created. Each set of aligners is changed every 1-2 weeks, gradually moving the teeth into the correct position.
The main features of Invisalign:
- transparency – aligners are almost invisible on the teeth;
- individual fit – made for each patient based on a 3D scan;
- removable design – easily removed for eating and hygiene;
- controlled tooth movement – pressure is distributed evenly, which reduces discomfort during wearing.
Orthodontic treatment with Invisalign has a number of advantages compared to classic braces:
- Invisibility in everyday life. Thanks to the transparent design, aligners remain invisible, which is especially appreciated by adults and teenagers who want to avoid wearing braces.
- Comfortable to wear. Unlike braces, they have no sharp edges, eliminating irritation of the gums and cheeks. The SmartTrack™ material adapts to the contours of the teeth, ensuring a comfortable fit.
- Ease of care. The removable design allows you to brush your teeth without restrictions and avoid food debris.
- Faster results in many cases. Treatment lasts an average of 6-18 months, while braces require up to 2-3 years of wearing to achieve a similar result.
According to statistics, patients who use Invisalign achieve the desired result on average 5 months faster than those who choose traditional braces.
Who are Invisalign aligners for?
The Invisalign system is suitable for patients who want to correct their bite and straighten their teeth without wearing metal structures. It is designed for teenagers and adults who value comfort, aesthetics and predictable results. Thanks to the individual design and SmartTrack™ technology, aligners solve a wide range of orthodontic problems.
Ideal candidates for Invisalign are:
- Teenagers. Invisalign Teen is designed for young patients who are concerned about the natural appearance of their smile. Aligners are used to correct crowding of teeth, interdental spaces and incorrect bite. Unlike braces, patients are not restricted in their diet (you can eat hard foods without the risk of damaging the caps).
- Adults. Most adults refuse braces for aesthetic reasons, but Invisalign eliminates the problem. Clear aligners correct crossbites, deep and open bites, as well as crowding of teeth.
- People looking for a discreet orthodontic solution. Wearing an orthodontic system remains invisible to others. Invisalign does not harm the professional image of people working in the public sector (managers, lawyers, teachers).
Transparent aligners do not contain metal elements, which is why they do not cause discomfort. 90% of patients get used to them in 2-3 days. They are even suitable for correcting individual teeth.
How does Invisalign work?
Invisalign treatment is a carefully planned process that guarantees accuracy and comfort during tooth alignment. Each stage is controlled thanks to digital technologies. The patient will know in advance what the smile will look like after the completion of the therapy.
Initial consultation and assessment
The solution to the problem begins with an initial examination by an orthodontist. The doctor assesses the condition of the teeth, bite, possible anomalies and determines whether Invisalign is suitable for the patient:
- 3D scanning – digital technology that allows us to create an accurate model of the dentition without traditional impressions;
- Comprehensive analysis – assessment of the bite, tooth position and gum condition to determine the treatment plan;
- Visualization of the future result – the patient receives a digital simulation of changes and can predict the final effect.
A detailed examination allows us to develop an individual strategy for correcting the bite and avoid unpredictable changes in the treatment process.
Digital impressions and treatment planning
Instead of traditional plaster impressions, digital modeling is used. Invisalign algorithms process 3D scanning data, creating a personalized plan for moving teeth:
- Calculation of control points – zones of influence are determined that ensure uniform and predictable tooth movement;
- virtual modeling – ClinCheck® creates a step-by-step 3D animation of the entire treatment process;
- sequential manufacturing of aligners – each set moves the teeth by 0.25-0.3 mm, gradually forming the correct bite.
Due to the accuracy of the treatment, the final result corresponds to the orthodontist’s initial calculations.
Receiving and wearing aligners
The patient receives a set of aligners that need to be changed every 1-2 weeks. The trays are made of SmartTrack™ material, which guarantees a precise fit and uniform pressure on the teeth. Invisalign must be worn 22 hours a day, removing only for eating and hygiene. The first few days may feel slight discomfort, which quickly passes (this is an indicator of effective tooth movement).
Follow-up and final results
Treatment requires regular check-ups with a doctor, but they occur less often than when wearing braces – once every 6-8 weeks. The doctor assesses the progress using 3D scanning and adjusts the course if necessary.
After the treatment is completed, wearing Vivera retainers is recommended to consolidate the result. On average, correction takes from 6 to 18 months, depending on the initial state of the bite.
Why is Invisalign a comfortable treatment?
Convenience is one of the main advantages of Invisalign. Unlike braces, aligners do not irritate the gums and do not increase the risk of caries.
What makes Invisalign more comfortable than other orthodontic systems:
- no pain and irritation – SmartTrack™ does not contain hard materials that can injure the oral mucosa or gums;
- predictable results – the patient sees at the beginning of treatment what the smile will look like after correction;
- minimal number of visits to the orthodontist – control examinations every 6-8 weeks are enough;
- ease of care – aligners are removed before eating and brushing teeth, so there is no need for special brushes or dietary restrictions;
- easy adaptation – studies show that 90% of patients get used to wearing Invisalign in just 48 hours, without deterioration of diction or discomfort when chewing.
Invisalign combines an innovative approach, efficiency and maximum convenience, which allows you to correct your bite without restrictions in everyday life.
