Installation of aligners in Kyiv

Orthodontists perform the installation of aligners in Kyiv. The use of aligners has become a new trend in solving the problem of bite correction. Transparent mouth guards called aligners are a technology that has been recognized all over the world. It is now replacing the classic bracket systems.

With the help of aligners, you can solve the problem of malocclusion one and a half to two times faster than with braces. Wearing aligners does not cause discomfort, is safe and does not require special care, as is suggested by braces.

Bite correction with aligners is completely digital. Before the start of treatment, the doctor draws up a digital treatment plan. This is a 3D modeling of the gradual movement of teeth, taking into account the individual characteristics and wishes of the patient.

After drawing up a detailed treatment plan, you will be able to receive information about how long the treatment will take, how many aligners are needed to achieve the desired result, as well as visualization of the process of gradual movement of teeth and a smile that you will receive after the treatment. 

Advantages and disadvantages of aligners

As with any method of treatment, aligners have their advantages and disadvantages over alternative methods. So, for example, if we compare aligners with braces, the following advantages can be distinguished:

1. The speed of achieving the result. In comparison with wearing braces, the effect of treatment with aligners occurs several times faster. In the case of aligners, during preparation, a computer calculation is made on which particular tooth and in what period of time it is necessary to apply the optimal pressure, in contrast to braces, which stretch all the teeth at the same time along the shape of the arc. 
2. Aesthetics. Transparent mouthguards are almost invisible to outsiders.
3. Predictability
4. Efficiency
5. Comfort. Getting used to aligners lasts a couple of days thanks to the patented production technology from thermoplastic materials and maximum adherence to the teeth. Also, there are no restrictions on the products you use, unlike braces.
6. Safety. As Aligners do not contain metal elements, the possibility of allergic reactions is excluded, they do not rub the cheeks and gums and do not irritate the mucous membranes. The demineralization process is less in comparison with wearing braces.

However, despite a number of obvious advantages, aligners also have disadvantages, including:

1. Aligners must be removed before eating, drinking hot drinks or smoking, which may be inconvenient or inappropriate in some situations
2. The need to constantly monitor putting on aligners after meals or other situations when it was necessary to take them off. Due to the fact that the treatment with aligners is long enough, it is possible to forget to put on the mouthguard or lose it. This will affect both the effectiveness of the treatment and may result in additional expenses.
3. In case of loss or braking of this orthodontic construction, its restoration can take from a week to a month, depending on the manufacturer.
4. Aligners are not effective in the treatment of complex occlusion pathologies, they are also not used to align single teeth in the dentition, in contrast to the braces.
