Clearline/Invisalign Aligners
Clear aligners are designed for the cosmetic correction of misaligned teeth. A series of progressive tooth arrangement set-ups are created and trays are fabricated for dental correction.
Case Selection:
While case selection is critical to successful treatment, many types of tooth movements are possible with clear aligners. Ideal aligner cases are those that require moderate alignment and rotations. Factors such as available space, retention and anchorage, and patient compliance all play a critical role in achieving final results.
Treatment:
Alligners are worn 22 hours per day and removed only for eating and brushing. Each stage of treatment consists of a series of up to 6 aligners to be used for a period of 2 weeks each. There may be as many as 4 stages of treatment. Staging allows for IPR coordinating and scheduling, and tracking and monitoring progress. Treatment time can take 6-18 months.
