What are
Invisalign Aligners
Adolescent and adult patients often do not care to receive orthodontic treatment or forego orthodontic treatment for esthetic reasons since treatment with conventional braces is unsightly and often bothersome.
According to the American Association of Orthodontists, one of the most advanced orthodontic treatments in the world that uses a modern technological system is invisible aligners or Invisalign. This treatment is currently in great demand by patients due to aesthetic issues and the desire for more immediate results. Thanks to these new methods and devices, it is now possible to correct even complex dental malpositions.
How do invisalign aligners work?
The Invisalign aligners system consists of removable transparent splints that cover all the teeth of both arches, exerting a slight pressure that produces movement at the dental level to correct malocclusions. These aligners will be designed digitally, using advanced 3D imaging technology, and made to your needs. The aligner will need to be changed from time to time, as your teeth move to achieve the desired position.
Patients should wear one aligner for a period of approximately 2 weeks and then change to the next one since each is programmed for precise movement.
Differences with conventional braces
The main feature of Invisalign aligners, unlike conventional braces, is that this appliance is removable and transparent. Plus, it is based on a 3D scan of the patient’s teeth. Another difference is the time of use of between 22 hours a day and that they must be changed every 10 to 15 days. The conventional system is permanent with certain adjustments every 15 days to 1 month until removal. Hygiene and eating will not be affected or limited with aligners. It is difficult for anyone to notice you are wearing an aligner as with fixed braces. Finally, Invisalign is gentler on gum tissue than fixed appliances due to simpler oral hygiene.

Advantages of invisalign aligners
Because of various features, Invisalign aligners have a number of advantages that make them ideal for patients considering orthodontic treatment who do not want conventional brackets.
01. Maximum Aesthetics
Being transparent, they easily blend in with the color of the teeth. They are practically invisible, making them more esthetic than brackets while allowing for orthodontic treatment without anyone noticing.
02. Comfort
It is only necessary to take an impression at the beginning of the treatment. Plus, they do not cause discomfort or rubbing in the mouth.
03. Visualization of the Objectives
Thanks to 3D software, you can see the virtual development of the treatment until the desired objectives are achieved.
04. Ideal for Metal Allergies
Thanks to its composition, it is ideal for patients with metal allergies.
05. Removable
The patient can take them off to eat or for special events, and thus they will have no difficulty cleaning them.
06. Improved Oral Hygiene
Brushing and oral hygiene can be done in the normal way. It is only necessary to remove the splint, and at the end of the hygiene routine, it will be replaced.
07. Treatment Time
Although the aligners will be worn by the patient for two weeks, we will gauge an approximate treatment time as it may vary. For example, if the treatment consists of 20 aligners, and the patient will wear them every 2 weeks, the total duration of the treatment will be approximately 10 months.
08. Quality of life
According to a study published in the Latin American Journal of Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry, when comparing the impact on the quality of life of patients wearing invisible aligners with those with physical appliances, the adults treated with Invisalign aligners experienced less pain and fewer negative impacts on their lives during the first week of orthodontic treatment.

Disadvantages of invisalign aligners
01. Limitation of Movement
Although the system is constantly evolving, it is currently limited for certain types of malpositions and movements, with case selection being key.
02. Pre-Treatment Planning
Once we have determined and accepted the treatment plan, the laboratory will send all the aligners. If you want to make a modification, there would be an additional cost.
03. Price
Currently, the price is higher compared to a conventional metal braces treatment, but it will be similar to lingual orthodontics or aesthetic self-ligating braces.
04. Collaboration
Being a removable system implies both an advantage and a disadvantage. If the patient does not collaborate and use the aligners, the treatment may fail. This is especially important in adolescents.
Consideraciones especiales
Despite all these advantages, this treatment requires the patient’s cooperation and perseverance. Before starting the treatment with Invisalign, you should know that the minimum use of 22 hours a day is required for visible effects in the planned time. Hygiene will be fundamental: the teeth must be clean before placing them and they must be removed to eat.
The hygiene routine is exactly the same as that used before the use of aligners. There is no need for additional special care since oral hygiene is performed without the aligners in place or any device that could affect the routine. It is not advisable to smoke with the aligners in place as they could be damaged.
