The Invisalign system can be used to correct problems with the positioning of teeth and will enable you to achieve a harmonious smile, which is essential for self-confidence and peace of mind.
The Invisalign system is an orthodontic treatment method that uses transparent aligners to move the teeth. The technique originated in the United States and has been in use since the late 1990s. It is becoming increasingly popular with patients looking for a discreet alternative to traditional metal braces.
When is the Invisalign system right for you ?
Clinique Sana Oris has several experts and specialists in orthodontics. It is important to take a holistic approach during the initial consultation so that we can offer you the treatment best suited to your situation. At best, an orthodontic expert will be able to suggest this treatment if it is really appropriate for the situation.
The Invisalign system is ideal for patients wishing to correct problems with the positioning of their teeth and jaws. It uses clear, removable aligners, tailor-made for each patient, to gradually move the teeth into a more ideal position.
This system is generally used for mild to moderate malocclusions, such as crooked teeth, gaps between teeth, excessive overhangs and underbites. However, it can also be used in more complex cases, such as severe malocclusions and bite problems.
How does the Invisalign treatment work ?
Clinique Dentaire Sana Oris is equipped with high-quality technical facilities to offer its patients cutting-edge treatments such as Invisalign.
Invisalign treatment takes place in three stages:
Firstly, a consultation with one of our orthodontic experts, who will examine your teeth and assess whether you are a good candidate for treatment (for example, whether there are any contraindications such as periodontitis).
If so, a personalised treatment plan will be drawn up using our 3D digital imaging system.
The treatment plan consists of a series of personalised clear aligners that are custom-made for your teeth. You will need to wear the aligners at all times, except when eating, drinking or brushing your teeth.
The aligners exert gentle but constant pressure on the teeth to gradually move them into their final position.
It is important to note that Invisalign treatment is a personalised process, which must be planned and supervised by a qualified and experienced orthodontist to ensure the best possible results.
At Clinique Sana Oris, monitoring is carried out throughout the treatment to check progress. Data and artificial intelligence are used to optimise and adjust the treatment plan. Precise deadlines to restore a harmonious smile. Invisalign treatment generally lasts between 6 and 18 months on average.
What are the advantages of the Invisalign system ?
Invisalign is often chosen by patients who want discreet orthodontic treatment, as the aligners are almost invisible when worn. This means that patients can smile with confidence during their treatment.
What’s more, the aligners are removable, allowing patients to eat, drink and brush their teeth with ease during their treatment.
Finally, Invisalign treatment is often quicker than traditional orthodontic treatment.
However, the Invisalign system is not always the right choice for every patient. Our orthodontic specialists will be able to refer you to other specialist practitioners at Clinique Sana Oris, if necessary, depending on your oral health.
For example, they can refer you to an oral surgeon for an operation, or to a specialist in periodontology if you have periodontitis or another infection.
It is important to consult one of our specialist orthodontists to determine whether there are any contraindications to this treatment.
What are the risks of incorrect Invisalign treatment ?
It is essential to choose a specialist in orthodontics to carry out this treatment, as it requires a qualified and experienced orthodontist as well as high-quality technical equipment.
If the treatment is not carried out by a qualified person, you risk a number of consequences:
- Misalignment of teeth: if the aligners are not designed correctly and the imaging system is not powerful enough, this can lead to misalignment of the teeth. This can make your smile unattractive, but it can also lead to biting and digestion problems.
- Pain: Invisalign aligners need to be adjusted to ensure a perfect fit on the teeth. If the aligners are not adjusted correctly, this can lead to pain and irritation of the gums and teeth.
- Risk of cavities: Invisalign aligners can trap food and bacteria between teeth, which can increase the risk of tooth decay and gum disease. If the aligners are not fitted correctly, this can exacerbate the problem.
- Waste of time and money: if your Invisalign treatment is done incorrectly, it may require further treatment to correct the problems. This can mean extra time and money lost for you.
