Invisible aligners: How do they work?
Invisible aligners have revolutionized the field of orthodontics by offering a discreet and effective alternative to correct issues like crooked teeth, bite problems, and more. This new orthodontic option is perfect for those seeking both an aesthetic and functional solution, representing a significant advancement in dental care.
In this article, we’ll explain everything you need to know about invisible aligners—from what they are and how they work to their cost in Peru and the benefits of choosing this option with The Dental Clinic.
What Are Invisible Aligners?
Invisible aligners are custom-made trays crafted from durable, transparent materials designed to correct dental alignment issues such as crooked, crowded, or excessively spaced teeth.
Unlike traditional metal braces, invisible aligners are removable and barely noticeable, making them an ideal option for adults and teenagers who want to maintain a natural appearance during treatment.
What Are Their Main Advantages?
- Aesthetic: Being nearly invisible, they do not affect your smile’s appearance while in use.
- Comfort: Made from smooth materials, aligners are more comfortable than traditional braces.
- Removable: You can take them out for eating, brushing your teeth, or attending special events.
- Easy to Clean: They allow you to maintain proper oral hygiene without complications.
How Much Do Invisible Aligners Cost in Peru?
The cost of invisible aligners in Peru varies depending on the complexity of the treatment and the dental clinic you choose. On average, prices range from $1,500 to $3,500, depending on factors such as:
- Treatment Duration: Shorter plans may be less expensive, while complex cases require a higher investment.
- Technology Used: Clinics utilizing advanced software for treatment planning often provide more precise results.
- Additional Services: Some clinics include follow-up consultations or dental cleanings in the treatment package.
How Do Invisible Aligners Work?
The treatment process with invisible aligners is straightforward and effective. Here are the main steps:
- Initial Consultation: It begins with an in-depth evaluation of your dental health. Digital impressions or molds of your teeth are taken to create a personalized treatment plan.
- 3D Digital Design: Using cutting-edge technology, a 3D model of your smile is created. This model visualizes the movements your teeth will make during treatment.
- ClearSmile® Aligner Fabrication: Based on the digital plan, a set of custom aligners is created. Each set of aligners is designed to gradually move your teeth into the desired position.
- Continuous Use: Aligners must be worn for 20-22 hours daily, removing them only for eating, drinking liquids, and oral hygiene. Approximately every two weeks, you’ll switch to a new set of aligners.
- Regular Checkups: Follow-up visits with your orthodontist are essential to monitor progress and make adjustments if necessary.
- Final Results: Depending on the complexity of the case, treatment may last between 6 and 24 months. Retainers are recommended after treatment to maintain results.
