What are invisible braces

Most people who wear invisible braces do so to correct their teeth, because ugly teeth will not only affect their facial shape, but will also have a certain impact on their diet over time. So now many girls choose to wear braces to correct their teeth in order to become more beautiful, so that they can look better. However, it is best to eat light and easily digestible food during the correction period.

1. Invisible braces

The transparent aligners made with the latest computer technology are tailor-made for the patients, and the entire treatment plan is designed using 3D imaging technology. As long as the patient follows the designed procedure and wears different transparent aligners at different times, the teeth in the upper or lower jaw can be moved according to the predetermined design, eventually making the teeth straight.

Traditional invisible braces are small iron pieces called brackets bonded to the teeth to hold the corrective archwires.

Girls who wear braces have their teeth tied up to move, thus achieving the purpose of correction. But because there are many corrective devices on the teeth, it gives people the feeling of "iron mouth and steel teeth". At the same time, if oral hygiene is not well maintained, it may cause oral damage such as gingivitis, tooth demineralization and discoloration, which makes many patients, especially adult patients, afraid of "correction". Thus, Lido's bracketless invisible orthodontic technology and braces came into being. Invisible braces use the latest 3D computer technology to tailor a series of almost imperceptible transparent trays to complete the entire correction treatment. Whether it’s due to crowded teeth, gaps between teeth, or teeth that have shifted out of position after traditional treatment, you can definitely regain a bright smile. Invisible braces was founded in 1997. First introduced and promoted to orthodontists in 1999, the initial invisible orthodontic technology could only treat simpler cases. In 2001, this technology was popularized to general dentists, and Kurita Osamu was able to correct 98% of cases with conventional orthodontic indications through this treatment. More than 120,000 cases have been treated so far.

2. Benefits of Invisible Braces

Aesthetics: Almost completely invisible. Others basically don't think anything of it, which is equivalent to completing the orthodontic surgery without anyone knowing.

Comfortable: Because traditional correction devices such as brackets and wires are not used, the correction process is no longer painful for patients. Thus, the discomfort to the periodontal tissue is reduced to a minimum.

Convenience: Patients can take it off and put it on by themselves without affecting social interaction, eating, exercise, etc. At the same time, the number of follow-up visits is very small, so it can save your precious time.

Cleaning: Oral hygiene is easy to maintain, and there is no need to worry about gingivitis, tooth demineralization, discoloration and other problems.

Convenient: The treatment course is relatively short and very effective, and can usually be completed in about 9-12 months. Compared to the traditional method which takes about 8 hours to treat, invisible orthodontics only takes 3 hours.

What everyone needs to pay attention to is that invisible orthodontics is not suitable for everyone. According to surveys, a relatively large number of people have certain misunderstandings about invisible orthodontics, and believe that braces can be used to correct tooth deformities. However, everyone needs to pay attention that if the tooth deformity is caused by the deformity of the tooth root itself, the purpose of correction cannot be achieved by braces alone, and this method is still very likely to cause damage to the tooth root and loose teeth. At present, invisible orthodontics are mainly aimed at patients whose tooth misalignment is not very serious. Compared with other orthodontic methods, the indications of invisible orthodontics are relatively narrow. It is only suitable for the following symptoms:

1. Correction of misaligned teeth, irregular teeth, and gaps between teeth less than 4mm.

2. Non-bone anterior crossbite (underbite) and non-bone protrusion of teeth.

3. Incisor twist correction of gaps can be achieved.

4. Corrective treatment after extraction of lower incisors.

Invisible braces may also have some adverse effects on teeth, especially during treatment. If you are not able to choose a more professional and qualified dental clinic, it is likely to cause some pain to the patient. Therefore, during treatment, it is best to first choose a trustworthy doctor and then proceed according to your specific situation.
