Invisible orthodontics; Advantages, disadvantages and everything you need to know ==================================================

This method is considered a suitable alternative to traditional metal brackets, and in addition to preserving the beauty of the smile, it provides more comfort for patients. But is this method suitable for everyone? In this article, we comprehensively review the advantages, disadvantages and key points of invisible orthodontics.

What is invisible orthodontics?

Invisible orthodontics refers to a group of orthodontic procedures in which transparent appliances, such as \*invisible aligners\*, are used to correct dental abnormalities. These aligners are usually made of transparent acrylic and by accurately molding the patient's teeth, they gradually move and correct the position of the teeth.

Benefits of invisible orthodontics

1\. \*Appearance beauty\*: This method uses clear aligners that are almost invisible, thus maintaining the natural appearance of your smile. 2\. \*More comfort\*: Unlike metal brackets, invisible aligners have no wires or metal parts, so discomfort from mouth sores is reduced. 3\. \*Removability\*: The patient can remove the aligners while eating and brushing, resulting in better oral hygiene. 4\. \*Reducing the possibility of tooth decay\*: With the absence of wires and brackets, the possibility of plaque accumulation and tooth decay is less. 5\. \*More predictable treatment duration\*: Treatment planning is done by digital software that provides the patient with a clearer picture of the treatment path.

Disadvantages of invisible orthodontics

1\. \*High cost\*: This method is usually more expensive than traditional orthodontics. 2\. \*Patient cooperation required\*: To achieve the desired results, the patient must use the aligners continuously (at least 20 to 22 hours a day). 3\. \*Limitations in the treatment of severe deformities\*: Invisible orthodontics may not work well for severe or complex deformities. 4\. \*Possibility of losing or breaking the aligners\*: Due to the ability to remove, some patients may have problems in maintaining the aligners. 5\. \*Initial discomfort\*: At the beginning of use, some patients experience pressure or discomfort on the teeth, which usually subsides within a few days.

Start treatment: The patient should use the aligners for at least 20 to 22 hours a day and replace them every few weeks. 5. **End of treatment**: After the teeth reach the desired position, it may be necessary to use a retainer to stabilize the results.
