Orthodontics (clear braces)

Our hospital, Clinica Sabah, combines medical expertise and advanced technology to offer the latest modern techniques in cosmetic dentistry for those who care about the appearance of their smile and correcting dental imperfections and problems to achieve a straight and beautiful smile. As we keep up with the latest developments in the world of cosmetics, especially in orthodontics, we innovate a practical, effective, and invisible solution for teeth straightening without affecting the external appearance. This is a clear aligner that corrects dental issues like occlusion and alignment, making it a suitable option for adults and teenagers who want to take care of their teeth and improve their smile’s appearance, which reflects on their self-confidence and personal comfort.

What is Clear Braces?

A procedure that uses invisible braces to correct dental problems, such as gaps, crowding, and irregular bites. It involves the use of a series of custom clear trays that are changed every few weeks to gradually reposition the teeth, improving the appearance of the teeth without the use of traditional metal wires and for comfort and ease of removal for eating and cleaning.

What are the benefits of the clear aligner procedure?

Clear aligners offer benefits for individuals who wish to correct their dental issues and achieve an attractive and beautiful appearance. The main benefits include:

– Almost invisible: When wearing clear aligners, they are nearly invisible, making them an attractive option for those who want to avoid the noticeable appearance of traditional braces.

– More comfortable and convenient: Clear aligners provide more comfort than metal braces and wires, as they are made from smooth, non-irritating plastic materials.

– Customized treatment: Clear aligners are custom-designed using 3D technology to fit the teeth precisely, achieving accurate and effective results.

– Gradual and consistent results: Regularly changing aligners allows for a gradual and consistent adjustment of the teeth to their optimal positions, leading to a more comfortable and effective treatment experience.

– Easy to clean: Clear aligners can be removed for brushing and flossing, maintaining better oral health and reducing the risk of cavities and gum inflammation associated with food accumulation around metal wires.

– Freedom to eat: People can easily remove the clear aligners while eating, allowing them to enjoy any type of food without restrictions.

– Fewer visits to the doctor: Clear aligners do not require frequent adjustments as traditional braces do, resulting in fewer dental visits.

These benefits make clear aligners a popular choice among individuals of all ages who seek a straight smile without the hassles and appearance of traditional braces.

Am I a candidate for clear aligner treatment?

Many people believe they can undergo clear aligner treatment without any obstacles, but several factors should be considered to determine if it is suitable for them. These factors include:

– Type and severity of dental issues: Clear aligners are effective in treating a variety of dental problems such as gaps, bites, and teeth crowding; however, some complex cases may require alternative treatments.

– Overall oral health: Your oral health must be good. If you have significant dental issues such as severe cavities or gum disease, you may need to address these issues first.

– Adherence to treatment plan: Clear aligners require wearing for 20-22 hours a day, removing them only for eating, drinking, and cleaning your teeth. Adherence to this regimen is crucial for the success of the treatment.

– Age: Clear aligners are suitable for teenagers and adults but not for children whose dental growth is not yet complete.

To confirm whether you are a candidate for clear aligners, please visit an orthodontic specialist at Clinica Sabah to evaluate your dental and oral condition and provide personalized recommendations based on your specific needs.

What happens during the clear aligner procedure?

The clear aligner procedure involves several stages to achieve the final results, including:

The doctor performs a thorough examination of the teeth and jaw, takes X-ray images and photographs to create a customized treatment plan using advanced software. The doctor presents the treatment plan and how to gradually move the teeth to the optimal position. The custom clear aligners are made based on the patient’s dental condition using high-quality materials to ensure comfort and effectiveness.

The doctor then provides the first clear aligner and explains how to use and care for it. The patient is given information about wearing the clear aligner for 20-22 hours daily, removing it only during meals or for cleaning the teeth. The doctor monitors the treatment progress with periodic visits every 6-8 weeks to assess tooth movement and make any necessary adjustments.

The clear aligner process is generally painless and provides an invisible solution for correcting dental problems, allowing patients to continue their daily life with confidence and without discomfort.

What is the aftercare after clear braces?

After clear braces, there are several steps to follow for aftercare to ensure the best results and maintain dental health:
Wearing retainers: After removing the clear braces, you will need to wear retainers to keep your teeth in their new position and prevent them from returning to their previous position. It is often recommended to wear them all the time at first, then gradually move to wearing them only while sleeping.
Oral hygiene: You must continue to maintain oral and dental hygiene by brushing and flossing regularly, and it is necessary to clean the retainers daily to prevent the accumulation of bacteria.
Regular visits to the dentist: It is important to follow up on regular visits to the dentist to monitor the progress of treatment and ensure that the teeth are in their new position correctly.
Avoid harmful habits: Do not engage in habits that may negatively affect the teeth, such as biting nails, chewing pens, or eating hard and sticky foods that harm the braces or retainers.
Possible adjustments: The doctor may need to make some adjustments to the retainers based on changes in the position of the teeth or when he notices any problems.
Regular maintenance of retainers: Sometimes you may need to replace the retainers if they are damaged or their sizes change, and contact the doctor immediately in the event of any problem with the retainers.
Following these steps will help ensure the stability of the results of the clear braces and maintain oral and dental hygiene in general.
