Invisalign transparent aligner

The Invisalign transparent aligner is undoubtedly the most modern and discreet way to align teeth and improve the beauty and functionality of the smile. ImplArt Odontologia is an Invisalign accredited dental clinic.

This modern orthodontic aligner can even help with dental implant treatment. And we’ll explain why: When there is tooth loss that is not immediately replaced with dental implants, nearby teeth tend to move, taking the place of the extracted tooth. As a result, before the patient can receive the implant, space must be “made” by moving the teeth back to their original position so that the site can receive the dental implant. Therefore, in the event of tooth loss, the ideal is to replace the lost tooth with a dental implant as soon as possible.

See below for more indications for using this modern orthodontic aligner.

Aesthetic invisible braces: how the most discreet treatment works

Technological advances in dentistry have also reached orthodontic treatments. It allows us to offer increasingly effective, faster and more discreet treatments, especially for adults who would like to align their teeth and improve occlusion without the use of metal braces.

ImplArt Odontologia offers the modern transparent aligner Invisalign as an orthodontic treatment option. This device is much more discreet than conventional braces.

A worldwide success, the Invisalign clear aligner is an orthodontic appliance with a plate format, i.e. it doesn’t have metal brackets and wires like conventional orthodontic appliances. This certainly gives it a smooth and discreet look, almost invisible.

How does the transparent aligner work?

invisalign transparent aligner — *Note that the transparent aligner is fitted to the teeth and is almost imperceptible*

Treatment with Invisalign consists of the sequential use of aligners with small adjustments to each one, which lead to progressive tooth movement and consequently improve the occlusion and aesthetics of the teeth.

See how orthodontic treatment with Invisalign works:

Our specialized orthodontic team assesses the teeth, occlusion and general oral conditions.
A digital mold of your teeth is then taken using the Trios 3Shape intraoral scanner.
The images of the teeth form a three-dimensional image of the arches. The digital template, along with intra- and extra-oral photos and radiographic examinations are sent to the manufacturer of the Invisalign aligners.
The Invisalign team plans the treatment and then determines the number of aligner plates that will be needed to complete the tooth movement.

The plan is sent to our team for approval.
If everything checks out, personalized plates are made using computerized techniques and delivered to the patient.
Normally, the aligner plate is changed every two weeks until the teeth reach the desired position. This type of aligner allows the movement to be made on all or just a few teeth, depending on each need. In the meantime, the orthodontist and you monitor the progress of the treatment.

Transparent aligner – braces without parts glued to the teeth

The transparent aligner is a modern option for orthodontic treatment. Because it is transparent, it is much more discreet and almost imperceptible. Unlike conventional fixed orthodontic appliances , clear aligners are plate-shaped and do not have brackets, metal wires or colored rubber bands. Orthodontic treatment with clear aligners consists of the sequential use of different plates, with minor adjustments to each one.

It also plays a fundamental role in oral rehabilitation when there has been tooth loss. When tooth loss is not immediately replaced with dental implants, nearby teeth tend to move, taking the place of the extracted tooth. Therefore, before the patient can receive the implant, space must be made by moving the teeth back to their original position so that the site can receive the dental implant. This is done with orthodontic braces.

Therefore, in the event of tooth loss, the ideal is to replace the lost tooth with a dental implant as soon as possible.

How the aligner works without glued parts

The patient wears each plate for about 2 weeks and the teeth move progressively until they reach the ideal position. The aligner plates are custom-made for each patient, based on a digital mold taken from the teeth using an intraoral scanner and computerized planning.

In this planning, tooth movement can be simulated in advance with three-dimensional images and the patient can follow the progress of the treatment. Sometimes the aligners need accessories such as resins bonded to the tooth or a mini dental implant to guide the treatment.

We work with national aligners and aligners imported from the United States – Invisalign

Digital documentation

The documentation for this model of orthodontic appliance is a set of scans and photographs used for the digital planning of orthodontic treatment with clear aligners. The 3D orthodontic documentation for treatment with clear aligners consists mainly of:

Panoramic radiography

Digital radiological examination that allows visualization of teeth and bone structures.

Lateral Teleradiography

Radiological examination that allows cephalometric tracings to be analyzed. Radiological examinations make it possible to diagnose occlusion problems, missing teeth, erupted teeth and the bony structures of the face.

Intraoral scanning

A high-precision camera scans the teeth and gums and then creates a 3D mold of the arches. It then reproduces details such as the color and shape of the teeth and dental occlusion on the computer screen.

Extraoral and intraoral photos – facial and intraoral photos. digital orthodontic documentation

The documentation, along with a standard questionnaire, is sent to the factory responsible for making the clear aligner plates. All of the patient’s images are then entered into software for virtual planning of the tooth design and tooth movement.

Once the treatment has been approved, the Invisalign factory makes a series of customized aligner plates for the patient to wear sequentially. The plates must be worn 24 hours a day and removed only when eating or cleaning the mouth. Ask us about the best model, value and price.

Treatment to correct teeth with orthodontics

Learn about the latest orthodontic treatment techniques for correcting teeth used at ImplArt. Aesthetic braces, self-ligating orthodontic braces, transparent aligners (invisible / transparent orthodontic braces) are some examples of how the evolution of techniques allows us to meet the various needs of those who need to align their teeth and achieve a more beautiful smile.

Braces types

Orthodontics is a dental specialty aimed, among other things, at correcting teeth, treating functional and aesthetic irregularities of the teeth and dental occlusion. Orthodontic treatment aims not only to correct crooked teeth, but also to adjust the complete functioning of the mouth, facial muscles, bones and joints.

Anomalies in any of these areas can interfere with oral health, speech, swallowing, breathing and the aesthetics of the face. ImplArt Odontologia performs orthodontic treatments with the most modern types of fixed and mobile orthodontic appliances.

Self-ligating orthodontic braces align teeth faster and more comfortably

The main feature of this type of appliance is that it doesn’t need elastics to attach the archwire to the brackets. In self-ligating braces, the archwire passes through small channels in each bracket and is attached to the caps.

In conventional braces, there is friction between the elastics and the metal archwire, which creates resistance and makes movement slightly slower. The absence of elastics in self-ligating braces allows the archwire to run more smoothly inside the bracket channels, making tooth movement faster and more comfortable for the patient.

Self-ligating orthodontic appliances: metallic, aesthetic-metallic and aesthetic

It can be made up of all-metal, aesthetic-metal or all-aesthetic parts (aesthetic fixed braces with brackets made from sapphire, porcelain or transparent or tooth-coloured polycarbonate).

Indication: various problems that cause dental malocclusion, from the simplest to those that require major movement, the most common being diastemas, misalignment of teeth, crowding, overbite, open bite, crossbite, among others.

Conventional braces to correct teeth

Conventional orthodontic braces are made up of wires, brackets and elastics. They can be metal or aesthetic (polycarbonate, porcelain or sapphire), while the elastics can be colored or transparent. Fixed orthodontic braces work by first bonding the brackets to the teeth. Next, an archwire is placed on each bracket and secured by elastic bands.

During treatment, a certain amount of force is gradually applied to each tooth in order to align and position them properly. The patient needs to visit the clinic regularly (determined by the orthodontist) to make the force adjustments and eventually change the rubber bands that have lost their elastic capacity over time.

Discomfort and a feeling of tightness may be felt in the first few days after these activations, but this is considered normal.

Invisalign 19 — *Conventional and aesthetic braces*

This model of braces requires the patient to take special care with oral hygiene to avoid food debris and plaque forming around the elastics and brackets.

Indication: various problems that cause dental malocclusion, from the simplest to those that require major movement. The most common problems are diastemas, misalignment of teeth, crowding, overbite, open bite, crossbite, among others.

Transparent aligner plate to correct teeth discreetly

Completely free of metal parts and made from a biocompatible thermoplastic composition, transparent aligner plates are considered the most aesthetic option among orthodontic appliances.

Because they are transparent and have the same shape as the teeth, the aligner plates are almost imperceptible. This modern technique consists of the sequential use of aligner plates with small adjustments to each one (called attachments).

The plates are manufactured according to a computerized plan based on a mold of the patient’s arches. Each movement is planned and the patient is given an estimate of the duration of their treatment and the expected results. The patient receives the set of plates to be changed every 15 days (or at the dentist’s discretion).

It is a type of mobile orthodontic appliance or removable orthodontic appliance, meaning that the patient can take it out to eat and clean their mouth. However, it is extremely important that the patient does not stop wearing them for the prescribed time.

Indication: This technique is especially suitable for simpler orthodontic corrections. It is an option for adult patients who need orthodontic treatment but do not want visual impairment.

The duration of orthodontic treatment varies greatly, as it depends on the complexity of each case, as well as the body’s biological response, the type of appliance used and the patient’s cooperation. It’s always worth remembering that orthodontic treatment should be carried out by a specialized professional and never bought online or from street vendors.

Price of orthodontic braces to correct teeth

Price of orthodontic braces to correct teeth: the Federal Council of Dentistry states that treatment prices can only be provided after a face-to-face consultation in which each patient’s clinical particularities will be assessed.

Self-ligating braces – speed and comfort

Beautiful, aligned teeth with faster, more comfortable orthodontic treatment

What are self-ligating braces?

Self-ligating braces are advanced orthodontic appliances that use gentler forces to move teeth and achieve results in a simple way. This model of orthodontic appliance does not require the use of elastics to hold the wire to the brackets, as is the case with conventional orthodontic appliances.

The wire passes through the channels and is held in place by small caps on each bracket. The absence of rubber bands reduces friction during tooth movement, as the wire runs smoothly in the channels, providing faster and more comfortable treatment, as well as reducing the number of appointments (conventional braces require the patient to return to the office several times to change the elastics).

Other features of self-ligating orthodontic appliances:

Tomographic studies show that the use of light, constant forces in the self-ligating system stimulates a natural adaptive process that widens the arches, creating space and a full, beautiful smile.
This is why the self-ligating system allows various types of treatment to be carried out without the need for extractions to open up spaces.
Studies show that the treatment time using self-ligating braces is up to 7 months faster than other orthodontic appliances. This is due to the 99.5% reduction in friction.
Patients report 60% less discomfort than those treated with conventional braces, as well as great satisfaction with the results at the end of treatment.
Less force required on the device and therefore greater comfort
The absence of rubber bands makes oral hygiene easier, as they facilitate the accumulation of plaque

Aesthetic and fast orthodontic braces

Self-ligating aesthetic orthodontic braces

A modern resource for aesthetic and fast orthodontic treatment

Aesthetic braces and self-ligating braces: what are the advantages over conventional orthodontic appliances?

Braces that don’t use rubbers

In conventional braces, the metal wire (orthodontic archwire) is attached to the brackets by small rubber bands. In self-ligating orthodontic braces, the wire is passed through a channel in each bracket and attached by small caps, thus eliminating the need for rubber bands.

Self-ligating braces are more aesthetic

The absence of rubber bands in self-ligating aesthetic braces is certainly what makes this model more discreet compared to conventional orthodontic appliances. In addition, the brackets can be made of translucent material on the front of the appliance. The pieces are also smaller than in other types of braces, making them more discreet.

More hygienic

The advantage of this method is that the absence of rubber bands makes oral hygiene easier and the patient doesn’t run the risk of losing some of them during treatment, which would loosen part of the wire. Absent rubber bands also help prevent the accumulation of food residue as well as plaque and cavities.

Faster treatment with self-connected devices

There are studies that prove that orthodontic treatment with self-ligating braces can be faster (up to 7 months faster than conventional braces). This advantage is mainly due to the lower friction between brackets and wire in this model, which makes tooth movement faster.

As a result, visits to the dentist’s office become less frequent, as there is no need for a lot of maintenance to change the rubber bands (rubber bands lose their elastic properties and strength over time, so they need to be constantly changed).

The auto-on device is more comfortable

For the patient, the greater freedom in moving teeth with self-ligating braces means more comfort and fewer episodes of pain during treatment, as self-ligating braces exert a lighter and more gradual force than conventional braces. Self-ligating braces also require fewer tooth extractions to be installed.

Indications of auto-on devices

Self-ligating aesthetic orthodontic braces, like conventional braces, can be used for a variety of orthodontic problems. However, it has a slight advantage in treatments that require arch expansion (smile opening). Self-ligating orthodontic braces can be used, for example, for:

Misaligned teeth
Missing teeth
Teeth growing in the wrong place (roof of the mouth, next to the tongue, rotated as well as crowded)
Open bite
Crossbite (the top teeth fit inside the bottom teeth when you close your mouth)
Swallowing difficulties
Bone changes (chin too far forward or back)
Mouth breathing
Retained milk tooth (the child’s tooth doesn’t fall out and the permanent tooth isn’t born)

Self-ligating braces: are there any disadvantages?

There are no major disadvantages to treatment with self-ligating braces.The price is still higher compared to conventional braces, but there are certainly many advantages added to the value of the treatment, especially for adults.

*Aesthetic orthodontic braces in the form of transparent plates*

Transparent aligner

Almost imperceptible device

ImplArt clear aligners are a new option for orthodontic treatment. The main advantage of this method is that clear aligners are very discreet and hardly anyone will notice that you’re wearing them. Just to illustrate, unlike conventional fixed orthodontic appliances, ImplArt clear aligners are plate-shaped and do not have brackets, metal wires or colored rubber bands.

The way they work is similar, but there are other differences, as you’ll see below. It consists of the sequential use of different plates, with minor adjustments to each one. The patient wears each aligner for about 2 weeks and the teeth move progressively until they reach the ideal position.

The aligner plates are custom-made for each patient, based on a digital mold taken from the teeth and a detailed plan made by our specialist team using an intraoral scanner.

In this computerized planning, tooth movement can be simulated in advance with three-dimensional images and the patient can follow the progress. Other advantages of ImplArt transparent aligners:

They can be removed by the patient for regular oral hygiene and eating;
They don’t interfere with speech;
Prevents irritation to gums and mucous membranes;
They require fewer office visits for strength adjustments;
More aesthetic than conventional braces.

Indications for transparent braces

Problems such as tooth misalignment, crowding, gaps between teeth (diastema), dental malocclusion, crossbite and overbite can be solved with orthodontic treatment.

Aligning plates can be designed to move some or all of the teeth, depending on the needs of each case. Many orthodontic problems, if not treated correctly, can damage your health and well-being throughout your life.

The most common problems are: pain in the muscles and bones of the face, pain and clicking in the temporomandibular joint, facial asymmetry, the appearance of periodontal disease, plaque build-up, tartar, gingivitis, tooth decay, snoring, sleep apnea, speech and chewing problems, among others.
