Aligners

Tell me more about the treatments.

Treatments

Before we dive into the treatment, we’ll start with some general information. Because, what is Invisalign® and what are aligners? Invisalign® is a virtually invisible dental brace that dentists and orthodontists use to align your teeth. This transparent dental brace is made of layered plastic that you slide over your teeth like a cover.

Aligning your teeth is done with a series of aligners that are removable. You wear the aligners for a week and you replace them for a new set yourself. This way, your teeth and molars are brought to the ideal position, step by step.

There are no threads or hooks, so you don’t have to change the way you brush and floss. You can keep eating all your favourite foods because you’ll take them off before you start eating or drinking.

Weren’t we talking about the latest techniques? How about an extensive 3D scan where we can give you a sneak preview of your new smile? We do this with the help of the Itero mouth scanner. It’s very futuristic and pretty cool!

The process

Step 1

First photos

First, light photos, X-rays and a 3D scan of your teeth are taken.

Step 2

Treatment plan

We create a digital treatment plan based on the photos and 3D scan.

Step 3

Aligners

After creating the digital treatment plan, we order the custom-made series of aligners from the manufacturer.

Step 4

Placing the aligners

As soon as the aligners have arrived, we will make an appointment so that we can place the first aligners together.

Step 5

Check-up

During the treatment you will have a check-up every eight weeks. After the first set of aligners is complete, we will see if more are needed to optimize the results.

Step 6

Post-treatment

After treatment, teeth always tend to move back to their old position. That’s just how they are. We solve this problem professionally with a splint and/or retainer (night brace).

INVISALIGN®; IS IT FOR YOU AND WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?

  • Invisalign® is transparant so very esthetic. A big plus for both teenagers and adults.
  • It’s comfortable, does not hurt as much as the traditional dental braces and has less influence on speech or brushing habits.
  • Because you take it off while eating, drinking and brushing, it is a lot more hygienic (and therefore healthier) than traditional dental braces.
  • The treatment is more time effective and you don’t have to visit the practice as often (once every eight weeks).
  • Worldwide, more than 10 million (!) people have been successfully treated with Invisalign® aligners.
