The principle of invisible braces

Not only do older people have difficulty walking, but the most common phenomenon is that their teeth tend to fall out. If they do not have dentures, eating may become a problem for some elderly people. With the development of medicine, some people who have ugly or deformed teeth can seek correction from a dentist to change their teeth and make them healthier and more beautiful.

Traditional invisible braces are small pieces of metal called brackets bonded to the teeth, and orthodontic archwires[1] are fastened to them to move the teeth and achieve 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, 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 in the field of orthodontics in 1999, the initial invisible orthodontic technology could only treat simpler cases. In 2001, this technology was popularized by general dentists, and 98% of cases with conventional orthodontic indications can be corrected through this treatment. More than 120,000 cases have been treated so far.

Materials used

Its material is a special bioceramic that appears transparent from a distance. Compared with traditional metal tooth sockets, it is not only beautiful, but also has better biocompatibility, less friction and more comfortable feeling when worn. Wearing this type of braces can also shorten the correction time to a certain extent.

However, straightening teeth is not just a trivial matter of fixing the tooth sockets and then forgetting about it. Before correction, you need to cooperate with the doctor to complete dental X-rays, and ask the doctor to carefully analyze and make a complete plan based on the panoramic X-rays and head films. Just like before building a house, you need precise surveys and accurate drawings to have scientific guarantees.
