Previously, braces were used to align the teeth, which were visible on the surface of the crowns. Many people had a complex to use such designs. Now, for this purpose, convenient Inviseline lines are used. Reviews of them confirm the effectiveness of such devices. Read more about this tool to align the teeth described in the article.
Normal bite
A bite is the ratio of the upper and lower dentitions with their maximum contact and full closure. It can be temporary or permanent, physiological or pathological. With a pathological bite, the load on the teeth is not evenly distributed, which can lead to tooth loss. Even malocclusion distort the oval of the face. The task of an orthodontist is the formation of a bite, as similar to his physiological appearance.
In the presence of uneven teeth, a visit to the orthodontist is required so as not to start the situation. He will orientate on the stages of treatment, cost, duration and probable consequences. During the examination, the doctor takes into account the age, as it affects the way to align the teeth.
Danger of uneven teeth
Rough teeth make brushing difficult, leading to tooth decay. They can also be easily injured. This pathology also leads to headaches, diseases of the ENT organs and eyes. And if there is no effective chewing of food, then the work of the digestive tract is disrupted. Serious consequences lead to malocclusion.
Smooth teeth are the dream of many people. Anomalies arise from poor heredity, injuries, or improper dental care in children. With their crowding, protrusion of teeth from a row or other shortcomings, a visit to the orthodontist is required. Sometimes the problem is contrived. Only a specialist can establish this. A preliminary diagnosis is made at 1 appointment, and then the doctor offers treatment options.
Description
What is Inviseline in dental treatment? These are effective designs to eliminate malocclusion that should be prescribed by a doctor. Invisiline eliners or mouthguards are presented in the form of a system that was created and patented by the American company Align Technology. They are used to correct teeth.
“Inviseline” mouthguards are made of transparent biopolymer material. They are practically not visible on the crowns. Products accurately repeat the size and shape of the teeth, fitting tightly to its surface. Sock linings almost does not lead to discomfort and has a short adaptation period. The system is no worse in efficiency than Inviseline braces.
Appointment
Due to the unique technology, the Invilinear eliners have many indications. They are prescribed to correct the bite, restore the correct position of the teeth. Products are used:
- with crowded crowns, when they find each other;
- in case of gaps between crowns;
- if there is a bite of the distal type, in which the upper jaw protrudes forward with respect to the lower;
- with an open bite;
- in the case of a cross bite, in which the lower jaw extends somewhat forward;
- with bruxism;
- if there is a need for a fixing system;
- after using other methods of tooth correction.
According to reviews, in orthodontics clinics often recommend these devices because of their effectiveness. It is important to follow the rules for their use, so that the result from such treatment appears very soon.
Age
Conditionally, there are 3 age groups of patients who can get rid of the problem of uneven teeth:
- Children 5-10 years old. At this age, the implementation of preventive measures is sufficient.
- Teenagers under 18 years old. From the age of 14, doctors recommend the use of eliners. Other products may be assigned depending on the problem.
- Adults from 18 years. Treatment is complicated due to age-related changes, the presence of filled teeth or their absence.
Use a mouthguard or not, the doctor should decide. Removable designs will bring results when used properly. During the entire period of treatment it is necessary to visit a doctor.
In children and adolescents with Invisiline, tooth alignment occurs at an accelerated pace. The reason is that up to 25 years in a person, bone tissue regeneration is faster, ossification of bone sutures has not been completed, so orthodontic treatment will be more effective.
But you can help adults. Dentists have long been practicing tooth alignment in people of any age. It just takes more time. Orthodontists usually use braces or mouth guards for alignment. If only 1 or 2 teeth are improperly placed, doctors use veneers. These very thin linings will help solve the problem of imperfect smiles. If the problem is in several teeth, and the doctor has detected malocclusion, then orthodontic constructions are needed.
Contraindications
According to reviews, Invisiline is considered an effective way to correct almost any developmental disorders of the dentition. But nevertheless, there are contraindications to this system. If the malocclusion is serious or the tooth curl is strong, use of the device is not practical.
In order to obtain the desired effect, it is required to perform treatment with braces in advance. And the aligners for aligning the teeth must then be used as a fixing device. Contraindication is considered to be up to 12 years old. According to reviews, dentists usually advise to start treatment after 14 years, namely after the complete formation of the jaw.
pros
The use of eliners to align teeth is increasingly in demand. Although the devices have a high price, patients usually choose the mouthguards of this company. This is due to the following advantages:
- Individuality. Sets of mouthguards are created only for a specific patient with a repetition of the shape and size of the teeth. This helps to effectively act on the crown.
- High esthetics. Invisalign eliners are the most transparent and fit to the crowns.
- Short adaptation time. Usually it is no more than 5 days.
- It is a convenient design for teeth whitening.
- Injury is excluded. The design does not rub the mucous membrane and does not injure the edges of the gums.
- It can be combined with removable type distalizers and braces.
According to reviews, Inviseline perfectly copes with the function of bite correction. The main thing is to use the design based on the attached instructions. The result allows you to evaluate the photo. Before and after Invisalign, the teeth look different.
Minuses
In addition to the advantages, mouth guards also have disadvantages. They need to be attended to before meals, in other cases you can only drink water. Mouthguards are only needed for 2 weeks, and then they are used only to consolidate the intermediate result. This method has a long treatment time, which lasts from 9 months to 2 years.
Manufacture
Like the Invisiline bracket system, mouth guards have their own manufacturing features. Since the method is patented by an American company, the production of eliners is carried out only in the USA. During the diagnosis, the dentist collects detailed information. For this, an X-ray examination is performed, casts and pictures of the teeth are taken.
After that, the collected material is sent to the United States. All information, including a scanned copy of the impression, is entered into a special program that creates several treatment options and provides them in the form of clips indicating the intermediate and final result. All options are shown to the patient. He chooses one, and on his basis with laser equipment create a set of mouth guards for the entire duration of treatment. Usually this kit includes 30 pieces. After manufacturing, the kit is sent to the customer.
Treatment features
For alignment of teeth "Invisiline" will be an ideal design. But it is important to consider that the adjustment takes a long time. The procedure consists of several stages:
- Reception and diagnosis are being performed. At the first visit, the doctor examines the oral cavity. Then performs casts of the dentition. A detailed examination is carried out using x-rays, computed tomography, internal scanning. Based on the data received, individual parameters are set that are sent to the manufacturer.
- They make a whole set of mouth guards, and the manufacturer sends it to the customer. At this stage, you need to visit the dentist to determine the treatment option.
- When the kit is received, hygiene of the mouth and fixing of the apparatus are required. Eliners are installed no more than half an hour. First, the dentist does this, and then the patient performs the installation himself.
As the reviews confirm, “Invisiline” acts in almost the same way as the bracket system. In this case, the form memory rule works. During fixation, the device is deformed and wants to return to the position that was set during creation. Therefore, pressure is applied to the teeth, which moves and deploys them.
When the initial installation is completed, the next visit to the dentist is carried out after a month and a half. The doctor analyzes the effect of treatment and, if necessary, prescribes an adjustment with the replacement of the mouthguards. With Invizilaynom occlusion correction is carried out efficiently.
After installation
Within a few hours after installation, the structure is perceived as a foreign body. There is an increase in salivation, there is some pressure on the teeth. Addictive time depends on the quality of the material and the rigidity of the mouthguards.
The degree of pressure depends on the difference between the bite and the mouthguards. During the first couple of hours, it is advisable not to eat or drink, because the body will be difficult: the food will come in, and there is an object in the mouth that cannot be swallowed. When the strong excretion of saliva disappears, you can eat and drink, usually this happens after 1-2 hours.
Effect
The result will be visible in 1-2 months. That is what patients think. But even with the appearance of the desired effect, treatment should not be completed; aligned teeth are able to return to their previous position. Therapy is performed until the deficiency is completely eliminated.
Alignment is carried out by mouth guards, which differ in design from the position of the teeth. Change them every 2 weeks. The treatment effect is visible with every change of product. The full result will be noticeable in 6-12 months.
Hygiene
When brushing your teeth to save time, it is advisable to rinse the mouthguards with a solution that the doctor recommended. Smoking is not allowed when wearing the eliners, as they become cloudy and lose transparency.
It is necessary to use means to cleanse the tongue, because the receptors on it interact with the tooth, and the mouthguards violate this connection, therefore, a plaque may appear on the tongue, which must be removed. Cleaning should be done 2-3 times a day.
Loss of mouthguards
If the structure is broken or lost, you must visit a doctor. Replacement required. For a while, an old pair is worn, which provides a weak effect, or the next pair, which will cause greater discomfort. That is why you need to be careful about the product.
Unlike braces
Feature kappa is aesthetics. Eliners are not visible in the mouth, which is why they are called "invisible" braces. And bracket systems, even aesthetic ones, include grooves, a metal arc and small rubber bands-ligatures. Such designs are visible when talking.
Thanks to the soft action of the mouthguard, the adjustment is less painful. Caring for them is noticeably easier compared to braces for which you need to use a brush and irrigator. But braces are universal, and they can even solve complex problems.
Invisiline is an excellent option to correct minor bite defects when there is no desire to wear staples. They are great for shy teenagers, public and business people.
Use and care
In aesthetic orthodontics, it is these mouthguards that are most often used. Qualitative adjustment is carried out only with proper use. To do this, you must observe the wear time, which was determined by the dentist.
Eliners can be worn for at least 20 hours a day. They are removed only for food and hygiene. It is undesirable to skip even a day of socks, as this can lead to the reversibility of the process. Every 2 weeks, products are replaced with the following.
Initially, there may be slight discomfort due to pressure on the crowns. Usually these manifestations are eliminated after 3-5 days. Attention must be paid to the order of use. You should exclude the possibility of attaching a mouthguard that is not intended for this time. The use of previous designs causes a loss of result, the appearance of pain.
During treatment, the following rules must be observed:
- Eliners are removed before eating.
- Before fixing the lining requires cleaning the surface of the teeth.
- When using, it is necessary to regularly treat the mouthguards with antiseptic solutions.
- Do not miss visits to the orthodontist.
When using this system, dietary adjustments are not necessary. Due to the density and elasticity of the material, you can eat solid food. In this case, you can not be afraid that food will lead to deformation of the apparatus.
Price
Since the system is considered an innovative technique that corrects occlusion problems according to an individually developed treatment, its price differs markedly from similar methods of teeth alignment.
But even in one clinic, the difference in prices is noticeable. This is due to the fact that the following factors affect the cost:
- The complexity of the design of the eliners, which is determined by the severity of the anomaly and the features of the formation of the dentition.
- The number of mouthguards. Correction may require the installation of plates on both jaws. In this case, the price rises by 2 times.
- Treatment time. If a long and gentle option is chosen, then a larger number of eliners will be required, which increases the price. To save money, you can choose a kit with a minimum number of aligners. In this case, it must be borne in mind that the treatment will be painful.
Depending on the chosen method, the average price is 230-350 thousand rubles. Although these designs allow you to correct the bite, treatment will be effective only if all the recommendations of the doctor are followed.
