INVISALIGN

Invisalign is the revolutionary invisible orthodontic system and is the most widely used in the world, with more than 10 million successful treatments.

This invisible orthodontic treatment consists of sequential transparent splints that allow the treatment to go unnoticed and is very comfortable. As they are removable, they do not interfere with any daily activity and no one will notice that you are wearing them, making them the ideal option for those who need to maintain their aesthetics during treatment.

At Artedental, in Puerto de la Cruz we are an Invisalign provider.

What are the benefits of Invisalign invisible braces?

This invisible orthodontic system is:

1. Effective

Invisalign is a treatment with 100% efficacy

2. Aesthetics

No one will notice that you are wearing them, Invisalign aligners are transparent and fit perfectly to the teeth so they are not visible to the naked eye, you have to look closely to notice them.

You can also dispense with the splints on special occasions, such as weddings, for a few hours.

3. Comfortable and painless

The aligners or splints are made of a high-strength thermoplastic and have no corners, edges or metal parts that can damage the soft parts of the mouth.

These splints can be removed to eat, so we do not have to give up our usual diet.

4. Hygienic

Oral hygiene with Invisalign is much simpler. As the splints are removed for eating, we can brush our teeth as we always do and simply wash the splints with a neutral soap before putting them back in.

5. Allergy-free

Ideal orthodontic treatment for those with metal allergies.

6. It doesn’t show when you speak

There are no speech problems with Invisalign.

7. Predictable.

How does Invisalign work?

The clear splints used in Invisalign treatment produce tooth movement in a carefully programmed and controlled manner at all times.

The treatment is designed in stages and, in each stage, only certain teeth are allowed to move.

Throughout the process, you will wear a specific set of aligners according to the treatment plan designed by our orthodontist. Each aligner is worn for approximately two weeks and then replaced with the next pair of aligners stipulated in the plan to gradually move the teeth to the final projected position.

Types of Invisalign

There are different types of Invisalign so that we can adjust to your specific case.

  • Invisalign Lite corrects small malpositions, deviations or dental rotations.
  • Invisalign Comprehensive. This is the most complete version. It is indicated for the most complex cases in which both bite and alignment must be corrected.
  • Invisalign Teen, designed for the specific needs of teenagers.
  • The Express version, for very mild cases, mainly on the front teeth.

Our orthodontist, Sonsoles Pérez Tamajón, has more than 25 years of experience in orthodontics and has completed a master’s degree in Invisalign. Always put yourself in the hands of qualified specialists.

The attachments are small, tooth-coloured feet that are glued to the tooth so that the splints can hold better and exert the appropriate forces to move the teeth more effectively.

Invisaling en el Puerto de la Cruz

No, Invisalign treatment is not painful, you will only feel a little pressure on your teeth the day you change your set of aligners.

In addition to not hurting, the system is very comfortable, there is no chafing or pinching of the tongue or gums as can sometimes happen with braces.

Each system has its advantages and disadvantages, it all depends on your particular case…

Invisaling is more comfortable, more aesthetic, makes hygiene easier and allows us to have an idea of the result before starting treatment. But on the other hand, it is somewhat slower and a little more expensive than braces.

The ideal is to evaluate with the orthodontist the advantages of each of the possible treatments and decide based on your needs.

The average treatment time with Invisalign is 18 months. But bear in mind that there are simple treatments that can be resolved in just three months and other more complicated ones that will require more time.

At Artedental, in Puerto de la Cruz, our orthodontist, Dr. Sonsoles Pérez Tamajón, will be able to tell you the necessary treatment time before starting treatment.

You wear Invisalign aligners for 22 hours a day. You take them out to eat and to brush your teeth. The advantage of Invisalign is that you can make a small exception on a certain day for a few more hours, but one day, not a lot.

It depends on each case, but by the third month you will notice the changes.
