Are invisible braces a suitable treatment for my problem?

Modern Orthodontic Treatment Using High Technology

This treatment involves transparent acrylic “invisible” aligners.

We are discussing the most advanced orthodontic treatment without traditional braces, which provides a definitive solution for correcting orthodontic anomalies through the use of thin, transparent aligners.

These aligners are created using high technology and computer software after detailed analysis. They are placed sequentially in the mouth and gradually shift the teeth into the desired position, resulting in a painless and permanent outcome.

Invisible aligners are an alternative and more accepted orthodontic solution—typically—for adults, introduced in Greece from the United States, allowing access to treatment for those discouraged by traditional braces.

During the first appointment, after a clinical examination, photographs are taken and a detailed radiographic evaluation is conducted using the state-of-the-art X Mind Trium machine from Acteon. This machine achieves high-quality imaging tests with the lowest radiation dose. Following this, impressions are taken for study models.

At the second appointment, to begin the treatment, you will receive the first set of aligners to apply in your mouth. You will change them approximately every three weeks, always according to the orthodontist’s instructions. Each aligner progressively moves your teeth towards the desired result.

What are the advantages of invisible aligners?

• The aligners are made from transparent hypoallergenic acrylic and “snap” onto the surface of your teeth.
• They are not visible to your conversation partners, while also being highly tolerable for you.
• They can be easily and quickly removed.
• They do not affect oral hygiene, as you remove them during the day before meals and clean them with mild mouth rinses.
• They do not injure the lips and gums.
• The initial adjustment period lasts about 48 hours, during which you may feel slight pressure on the teeth being moved and minimal changes in your speech.
