Alineadores Invisibles

The first visit with the orthodontist is key to determining if aligners are the best option for you. During this consultation, the specialist will evaluate your malocclusion through an intraoral and extraoral examination. This initial contact will allow them to understand the condition of your teeth and determine if this treatment is the most suitable for you. Furthermore, in this appointment, you will be provided with an indicative budget and you will be able to resolve any doubts you have about the procedure.

Once the study is complete, we send all the documentation to the aligner manufacturer, who provides us with a 3D virtual model. This model allows us to plan every micro-movement of the teeth until perfect alignment is achieved. In this appointment, you will be able to visualise the final result of your treatment in detail before starting it. As it is a completely digital process, we can make adjustments and optimise the treatment plan to suit your needs.

Every four to six weeks, you'll need to come in for a check-up with your orthodontist to assess how the treatment is progressing. At each visit, you'll be given new sets of aligners, which you'll need to change approximately every seven to ten days from the comfort of your own home. These appointments are brief, lasting about 15 to 20 minutes, but they're essential to ensure that the treatment is moving forward correctly and within the estimated timeframe.

Once the treatment is finished, it's essential to maintain the results you've achieved. To do this, retainers are fitted to prevent the teeth from moving back to their original position. There are two types of retainers: removable Essix retainers, which look like a clear aligner and should be worn 24 hours a day for the first month and only at night from the second month onwards, and fixed retainers, which are thin wires bonded to the inner surface of the teeth. The retention phase is key to keeping your smile aligned in the long term.
