the treatment
Invisalign step by step
1. ClinCheck Plan
Our dentists will confirm that Invisalign is suitable for you, take photos and x-rays, and make scans or impressions of your mouth to create a personalised treatment plan
2. Aligners delivery
When they are ready, the clear aligners are sent to our office. You must wear them for 22 hours a day and replace them weekly or every two weeks, according to the dentist’s instructions.
3. Treatment monitoring
Treatment takes from 6 months to a year and a half, and when it is finished you will wear a retainer for the time stipulated by your orthodontist in order to maintain the effect achieved during the treatment.
You can go about your normal life while Invisalign works discreetly
Wearing the aligners is recommended for 22 hours a day, as you will need to remove them to have your meals. You can wear Invisalign comfortably during the day as it works discreetly and does not interfere with your daily routine.
WHY CHOOSE INVISALIGN
Advantages of Invisalign
Enables better oral hygiene
As they are removable and do not have the components that cause food retention, these aligners allow for normal cleaning of the teeth, unlike traditional braces.
Do not require as many visits to the dentist
Invisalign aligners do not require as many adjustments as conventional braces, so there is no need for monthly visits to your orthodontist.
Prevent rejection or inflammation
In addition to being useful for patients who are intolerant to the metals used in traditional braces, Invisalign aligners prevent cuts and inflammation of the oral tissues
Effective in several types of correction
Invisalign braces solve mild correction problems and more complex cases: spaced and crowded teeth, crossbite, deep bite, open bite.

Number 1 in clear braces
Invisible
Unlike more traditional fixed dental braces, Invisalign braces are transparent. They have no metal, no wires and no coloured elastics, so they’re virtually invisible and hardly anyone will notice you’re wearing them!
Removable
Invisalign aligners are removable! Even though it is recommended to wear them for 22 hours a day during treatment, you can easily remove the aligners to eat and drink, as well as to brush your teeth.
Comfortable
Invisalign aligners, made with SmartTrack material – renowned for its quality and effectiveness – are less painful and more comfortable than traditional metal braces. This is because they are highly elastic and cut exactly to the size of your gum line for a better fit. With cutting-edge 3D printing technology, your teeth move smoothly and efficiently!

QUESTIONS
Invisalign FAQs
The correct answer is “it depends on the complexity of the cases”, simpler cases can take as little as 6 months, more complex cases range from 12 to 18 months.
Treatment with Invisalign can be performed at any age as long as the patient has the agility to remove and place the aligners.
Invisible aligners allow you to correct the alignment of your teeth in an aesthetic, comfortable and more hygienic way. It is a treatment that causes less pain than traditional/ fixed orthodontics, due to its simplicity. This mechanism does not impose any type of dietary restrictions and is also an excellent alternative for patients with allergies to metal
As with conventional treatment with brackets, Invisalign can only be done on one arch (upper teeth or lower teeth)
Invisalign consists of clear aligners that are made to move teeth into the correct position, using SmartTrack® forces, previously set by your orthodontist. Retainers are appliances made of transparent thermoformable acrylic plates that prevent alterations in the position of the teeth. This material is harder than the Invisalign material. Although they look similar, the purposes of use are quite different, with Invisalign being made from a more malleable material.
The discomfort caused by the aligners varies from patient to patient. Most patients report no pain, at the very most report a slight discomfort and/or pressure. Because they are custom-made with unique SmartTrack® material, which fits snugly over your teeth, forces are applied efficiently, accurately and with less pain.
There is an initial adaptation period in which there may be a slight change in diction. However, after the first or second aligner, the patient is normally already adapted.
Depending on the case, after a few days you will either be given an identical aligner or your orthodontist will instruct you to move on to the next one.
The aligners must be worn for a minimum of 22 hours a day to be effective. This means that patients can only remove them to eat, drink and brush their teeth, and they should be put back in as soon as possible.
As with any other orthodontic treatment, the cost of Invisalign treatment depends on issues such as case complexity and length of treatment. If you would like to know the cost of the orthodontic treatment, please book an evaluation appointment with one of our Invisalign Providers.
