Orthodontics with invisible aligners offers an effective, comfortable, and virtually imperceptible solution for aligning teeth, allowing you to maintain the natural appearance of your smile throughout the treatment.
The focus is on providing natural and harmonious results, respecting the individuality of each patient.
What is it?
Modern invisible orthodontics is an advanced solution for aligning teeth discreetly and effectively.
Using a set of sequential aligners, it allows for the progressive and gentle movement of the teeth until they are correctly aligned.
The 3D simulation of the treatment planned by the dentist allows for an immediate understanding of its outcome and how long it will take to achieve it.

Treatment
Treatment with invisible aligners involves several stages:
Assessment and diagnosis
Clinical examination, photographs, CBCT radiographs and digital scan, and diagnosis.
3D digital planning
Where the entire process of tooth movement is simulated.
Treatment plan
Before the aligners are fitted, the different treatment plans developed by the doctor are presented to the patient so they can decide on the most appropriate approach.
Production of custom aligners
Adapted to the plan created.

Approximately 20 to 22 hours per day, rotating according to the plan (usually every 1-2 weeks).
Regular check-ups
Follow-up appointments are spaced further apart than in fixed orthodontics.
