Let's first explain what exactly the much-talked-about tinners are. This is a method that helps to straighten teeth and treat problems of a different nature. Incorrect placement, correcting interdental spaces - all are part of the corrections that can be made thanks to veneers. Easy to maintain and suitable for small and large alike - it's understandable that they are gaining in popularity and are the preferred method of correction.
Who are they suitable for?
As mentioned above - there are all ages suitable for the use of aligners and this is a huge advantage because both children and adults can achieve the smile they want at any age. In case you need treatment - consultation with a specialist is a must, as he can best determine your individual case and future steps.
For teens and children -a great deal of imperfections and misalignment of teeth can be easily corrected, creating self-confidence and a lack of insecurity due to faulty placements or alignments. Precisely because of their transparent appearance - aligners do not bother adolescents.
For adults - the reason here is similar to children and teenagers. Many professions and social circles would create a sense of discomfort and embarrassment when using oral appliances that would be too visible. Veneers are also comforting to older adults who have decided for aesthetic or health reasons to take advantage of their benefits.
The steps that the treatment goes through?
First of all, of course, is the consultation with a specialist. With his help, you can receive guidance and discuss what your wishes and needs are, and he in turn will let you know how best to achieve them.
Scanning and photographing your dental alignment This is done with a range of different methods, including scanning, photographing and creating a map of your teeth from a variety of angles. From these images, your orthodontist will have a clearer and more detailed picture of your specific situation.
The last step, which is essential, is making a physical impression of your teeth, which serves as the basis for creating your aligner.
Some patients require pre-dental treatment to create the right environment for the aligners to work optimally.
After these steps, you will have a consultation where the first aligner - made to the model of your teeth - is test fitted. You may experience a feeling of tightness. It is after this trial that adjustments are made until the specialist, together with yourself, feels that the results have been achieved and you will feel comfortable wearing the aligners.
Replacement - you will replace your aligners approximately every 2 weeks during the treatment process, this is at the discretion of your orthodontist. If your teeth have not shifted enough within the current, this period may be extended.
Achieving the final results - exactly how long treatment will last depends on the individual case of each patient. Results will be visible within the first few weeks. Once the case is complete, the specialist you have confided in will advise you on wearing the aligners for some more time or whether there will be a need for a next maintenance step.
We advise you to choose the specialists and the team you will trust very carefully so that together you can achieve the results you envision.
