Invisible orthodontics or Invisalign®, also known as dental aligners, is the most aesthetic and comfortable way to achieve the smile you’ve always wanted, without anyone noticing beyond the results or interfering with your image.
No matter how misaligned your teeth are, it’s possible to solve it, dramatically improving your smile and self-esteem.
It is advisable to have your teeth cleaned before starting a dental treatment so that your mouth gets free of tartar.
If you have cavities during your dental check-up, you will have to restore these decayed teeth, this step is very important since it is essential to have optimal oral health.
If you still have third molars (wisdom teeth) and they are not aligned or are retained inside your jaw, they will need to be extracted, so that they do not interfere with the movement of your teeth with the aligners.

PLANNING
As in all orthodontic treatment, it is essential to carry out an orthodontic study that includes diagnosis, dental tests and the planning of teeth micro movements (in this case digitally with the 3D ClinCheck software).
ALIGNERS DELIVERY
Once the dental treatment has been defined from start to finish between the specialist and you, the orthodontic aligners will begin to be crafted in an approximate time of 2 weeks.
ATTACHMENTS PLACEMENT
To achieve the desired tooth movements, in some cases, extra help is necessary, the specialist will have to place small amounts of resin called attachments, on the outer face of some teeth, which serve as support points for the aligners, they are practically imperceptible as they are the same color as your teeth and easy to remove.
CHECKUP APPOINTMENTS
At each check-up with your orthodontist, they will give you new sets of aligners and verify that the dental treatment is going smoothly. Appointments are 15 minutes long and are scheduled every 4 to 6 weeks. These separate dates are especially convenient if you live out of town or travel a lot.
PERFORMING MICRO MOVEMENTS
About every two weeks, you'll have a new set of orthodontic aligners. Remember that the specialist will guide and supervise you throughout your dental treatment.
USAGE TIME
In order for the orthodontic treatment to meet the deadlines, it is necessary to wear your aligners for a minimum of 22 hours a day.
INVISALIGN REFINEMENT
After planning, in some cases you can get better results or make certain fine-tuning, so it is possible to request several sets of dental aligners, a phase known as Invisalign refinement.
There will be no cost for this.
END OF DENTAL TREATMENT
When you're done with the last set of aligners, you move on to the final stage. This stage is very important, it allows you to maintain the results obtained, by means of a dental retainer. The type of retainer and the time of usage is determined by the orthodontics specialist.
Once you get used to wearing your dental aligners, you can speak with absolute normality.
You will have an unfamiliar body in your mouth that you will have to get used to, but this period only lasts 2 or 3 days.
Of course. This type of orthodontics is suitable for retreatment of cases in which there might be tooth movements once conventional orthodontics (Dental Braces) have been completed.
Teeth are always in motion and yes, they can return to their initial position. That is why the last stage, called retention, is so important, in which the patient is given a dental retainer that must be worn either at night or use constantly and attend checkup appointments after orthodontic treatment.
It depends on how often you smoke. If it is regularly, we advise you to remove the dental aligners to prevent them from getting bad odors and turning yellowish. But if you smoke occasionally, it is preferable that you maintain them, since orthodontics loses effectiveness if you do not fulfill 22 hours of daily use. If this is your case, wash your aligners more often. As specialists, we always recommend avoiding tobacco because it is harmful to oral health, but if you can’t eradicate this habit, try to reduce it as much as possible.
Whenever you remove them, place them in their case to prevent them from breaking or getting lost. Another very important point is hygiene, although the dental aligners are replaced every two weeks, you should clean them daily every time you take them off. Doing so is very simple: you only need a neutral soap, water and you can use your own toothbrush to clean only the aligner.
Be sure to dry the orthodontic aligners thoroughly before storing them in their case so they don’t get bad odors. It is advisable to soak the dental aligners and their case in a glass of water with a special prosthesis cleaning tablet every week.
