How do teeth move without braces?

Your doctor will take measurements from your mouth and these measurements will be transferred to the computer by means of 3D scanning method called CAD-CAM systems. The teeth transferred to the virtual environment are moved by computer simulation.

Invisalign plates are produced by correcting your teeth on the computer, removing the shape you want from the 3D printer and then pressing a flexible transparent plate on it. Each plate creates 0.05 mm of movement, and when you pass this improved plate to your teeth, the teeth are forced into the plate to move the teeth, so that the teeth move a little more each time you change the plaques.

The plaques are inserted for 15 days and then switched to the other plaques.

So how old can my child get Invisalign treatment?

Your child must have dropped all his primary teeth and at least partially removed the second molars. This corresponds to an average age of 12 years. Invisalign can be easily applied to both young people and adults. Can be done from 12 to 80.

Can I fix my teeth too?

How many weeks does the plaques come after the measurement?

It is about 5-6 weeks for the measurements to go abroad, to decide on the ideal treatment plan and the production phase.

How many plaques should I use? How many hours do I have to use the plaques a day?

The treatment time and the number of plaques to be used vary according to the perplexity of the teeth and the desired amount of tooth movement.

Each transparent plaque straightens the teeth by 0.25-0.5 mm and needs to be worn for 20-22 hours a day for 14 days. it takes the shape of a new plaque, so that after a series of plaques are used, the teeth are straightened.
