At the LUCIDA dental clinic, teeth straightening with clear aligners is a modern and nearly invisible orthodontic treatment method designed to address dental aesthetics, malocclusion, and dental crowding issues. It is an especially popular choice among patients who value comfort and aesthetics and wish to avoid metal braces.
Why choose teeth straightening with clear aligners?
- Aesthetics: clear aligners are nearly invisible, so your smile will remain natural throughout the treatment.
- Comfort: the aligners can be easily removed while eating or brushing your teeth, and wearing them does not cause physical discomfort.
- Maintenance: the aligners are easy to clean, and there is no need to change your usual oral hygiene routine.
- Results: treatment often takes less time than with traditional braces, and the doctor can monitor changes with less frequent clinic visits.
How does the treatment work?
- Consultation and diagnostics: the doctor performs an oral examination, X-ray studies, and dental scanning or takes impressions. Protocol-based facial and dental photographs are taken.
- 3D planning: a 3D CT scan (CBCT) allows for the creation of an individual treatment plan.
- Aligner production: custom-made straightening aligners are manufactured specifically for you.
- Treatment: aligners are worn daily for at least 22 hours per day. The duration of treatment ranges from 6 to 28 months, depending on the complexity of the case.
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Shorter treatment duration than with braces.
- Suitable for patients of various ages who have all their permanent teeth.
- Allows for an active lifestyle, such as playing sports.
- No allergic reactions for patients with metal intolerance.
Cons:
- Treatment may be more expensive than with metal braces.
- Not suitable for all clinical cases, e.g., complex skeletal bite corrections.
Price and Additional Procedures
The cost of treatment depends on the number of aligners, the complexity of the treatment, and necessary preparatory procedures, such as cavity treatment, endodontic root canal treatment, or implants. You will discuss these matters in detail with the doctor during the consultation.
