The most important factors are: ### 1... severity of dental malformation One of the most important determining factors in the cost of invisible orthodontics is the severity and complexity of the patient's dental abnormalities.. If the problem involves only minor displacements or simple alignment of the teeth, the treatment is done faster and with fewer plaques... it is longer... these things increase the final cost of the treatment.... types of invisible orthodontics; Advantages, Disadvantages and Applications As we said, among the types of invisible orthodontics, three methods can be considered.. Also, these three methods can be divided into two groups: - Fixed invisible orthodontics with ceramic and lingual braces - Movable wiring with clear alignments ### 1... Invisible lingual orthodontics (lingual braces) Hidden lingual orthodontics or behind the teeth is one of the relatively new treatments in this field that installs brackets and wires behind the teeth... Although this device is completely metal, it is practically the most invisible treatment method available... include... - **Advantages**: These braces are not visible in any way and are very effective in correcting unevenness... Lingual braces lead to tongue discomfort in the first days and affect the way you speak... Invisible orthodontics ceramic (ceramic braces) In ceramic orthodontics, transparent or tooth-colored ceramic brackets are used to match the color of the teeth and be less visible. The structure and function of these braces are exactly like metal samples, but they have a more indistinct appearance. **Disadvantages**: These braces are more expensive than metal models, but they don't have the durability and resistance... They may also change color over time, especially if a person constantly eats and drinks... Drinking colored drinks.... In the video below, Dr. Saeed Qureshi, an orthodontic specialist, explains the difference between orthodontic brackets and transparent brackets and ceramic brackets. ### 3 .... Invisible orthodontics with transparent aligners Generally, when they say invisible orthodontics, they mean exactly this type of orthodontics. This method is also known as transparent orthodontics, orthodontics with aligners and wire-free orthodontics. Some people also call this method Invisiline orthodontics. Orthodontics is transparent in the world... Dr. Qureshi, an orthodontic specialist, explains about the benefits and application of invisible orthodontics with transparent aligners: - **Using orthodontics with clear aligners:** Orthodontics with clear aligners (Invisiline) for the treatment of moderate to mild abnormalities....such as a slight distance between the teeth or a narrow jaw arch....- **Advantages of clear aligners:** Also, this treatment method is very convenient because oral plaques can be removed during.... Treatment is greatly reduced.... **Disadvantages of clear aligners:** Unfortunately, this method for treatment Severe deformities are not useful... Also, maintaining clear plaques requires constant care and the patient's adherence to treatment.... Now that we have become familiar with the types of invisible orthodontics and have seen the advantages of this orthodontic method, it is better to examine its disadvantages according to orthodontic methods. Steps of making transparent orthodontics (and treatment with it) After the examination and consultation sessions and the final decision for treatment with this method, the rest of the steps are carried out as follows: ### 1 .... molding the patient's mouth In order to make customized plaques for the patient, the teeth are first molded.. This can be done in the traditional way.. but in a more accurate way, advanced digital scanning technology is used.... In this way, the condition of the mouth and teeth (Impression) is captured in 3D and saved in a computer file... ### 2... 3D simulation of plaques Now the scanned images of the teeth are modeled in 3D and the movement of the teeth during the treatment is drawn using the same model.. The dental team adapts each tooth to another tooth to determine exactly how and how much each tooth should move... for example, one tooth should move 2 mm to the right... to move until this 2 mm shift happens in 10 steps (for example)... ### 3... Making orthodontic aligners with a 3D printer Simulated plaques are made with a 3D printer and special materials in 2 to 4 weeks. For example, if the treatment is to be done in ten stages, ten plaques are made and delivered to the patient. In this way, the number of main treatment stages (which is equivalent to the number of transparent orthodontic plaques) depends on the type and severity of the teeth. In general, the average time of using transparent plaques is similar to traditional orthodontics and is about **1.5 years**... but in the end, the duration of using transparent aligners depends on various factors... - **For simple treatments and minor corrections, we may need only 6 to 12 months. Eating, brushing, and flossing... less use increases the duration of the treatment period... some insurances (such as group supplementary insurance) may cover part of the cost... it depends on the type of insurance and special conditions... and be sure to talk to your insurance about this... some bank insurances accept these things to some extent... the insurance of the armed forces is mostly for army hospitals and does not have a contract with private offices... ### 2...

The length of the treatment period varies... But depending on the complexity of the treatment, it usually lasts between 6 and 18 months... ### 4... Is transparent orthodontics painful?... Like any orthodontic method, there may be discomfort or pressure at the beginning of using new plates, but this condition is usually temporary... In the video below, Dr. Qureshi, an orthodontist in Tehran, explains that invisible orthodontics, like fixed orthodontics, are painful in the first days of treatment: ### 5.... Is transparent orthodontics suitable for any age? Invisible orthodontics is more suitable for adults and teenagers whose jaws and teeth have fully grown... Types of orthodontics for children or teenagers with growing teeth are done in other ways... ### 6... Are there food restrictions during the use of invisible orthodontics?
