The treatment method of invisible braces has various names, including “Invisible Braces Vienna” and “Invisalign Vienna.” This modern type of treatment for misaligned teeth uses transparent films that are precisely manufactured in the laboratory using computer-aided technology.
The invisible braces Vienna, also known as Invisible or Invisalign Clear Aligners, enable both young people as well as adults to benefit from the advantages of clear aligner technology.
This Aligner therapy is a state-of-the-art method of correcting misaligned teeth that does not use brackets or wires. They exert gentle forces on the teeth to guide them step by step in the previously digitally planned direction.
In addition, invisible braces also offer a reduced treatment time compared to traditional methods. In some cases, the duration of treatment with clear aligners may be shorter, resulting in faster results and requiring less frequent visits to the orthodontist.
However, it is important to note that each treatment method has its own advantages and disadvantages. The suitability of invisible braces for an individual case should always be discussed with a dentist Specialist in orthodontics to be decided that takes into account the specific needs and requirements of the patient.
Treatment with Invisalign, the invisible braces, is based on a series of transparent aligners that are made specifically for each patient. The invisible aligners are worn for 12 to 14 days, after which new splints are used. We always give our patients 4 to 6 aligners to take home to change so that you don’t have to come to the practice every time.
Production of the aligners : Based on the treatment plan, the transparent aligners are manufactured individually in the Invisalign laboratory. Each aligner is designed so that it gradually achieves the desired tooth position. Typically, multiple sets of aligners are created for the entire treatment.
Wearing time of the aligners : The Invisalign aligners usually have to be worn for 20-22 hours per day. They are changed every 12 to 14 days to allow tooth movement to progress. It is important to only remove the aligners for eating, drinking (other than water), and dental care.
Progress checks : Regular check-ups with the orthodontist are required during treatment – the first check-up appointment takes place 8 weeks after the start of treatment. During these appointments, progress is reviewed and adjustments are made if necessary to keep treatment on track. New aligners will be issued to continue moving the teeth into the desired position. At every appointment, a digital computer simulation is carried out to determine whether the clinical courses are developing correctly.
Treatment duration : The duration of Invisalign treatment varies depending on the individual case. However, it usually lasts between 6 (mild cases), 18 (moderate) and 24 (severe) months. The exact treatment duration is determined by the orthodontist based on the specific dental misalignments and treatment goals.
Follow-up treatment : After completing Invisalign treatment, retainers are often used to stabilize the results achieved in the long term. Retainers are custom-made, transparent splints that are usually worn at night.
Invisalign aligners are a popular treatment method for both adults and teenagers.
For adults, invisible braces can be combined particularly well with professional requirements. Invisalign offers a discreet solution for working adults who do not want to wear braces obviously during treatment. The ability to remove the aligners for important professional occasions is a huge advantage.
Aesthetics and self-confidence : Teens appreciate the aesthetic benefits of Invisalign because the clear aligners allow them to maintain their self-confidence and feel more comfortable during treatment.
Sports and Activities : Invisalign offers teens the flexibility to pursue their sports and activity routines without restrictions. The aligners can be removed during exercise to prevent injuries.
Social Interactions : The ability to remove the aligners for meals or social events makes it easier for teens to meet with friends and continue their social lives as normal.
Educational support : Invisalign offers special features such as compliance indicators and special aligners for adolescent jaw growth. This helps monitor treatment and ensure adherence to the treatment plan.
The duration of treatment with clear aligners can actually vary depending on the severity of the individual tooth misalignment (measured by the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need, IOTN). Accurate diagnostics and comprehensive therapy planning are crucial success factors for effective clear aligner treatment.
As part of the diagnosis, various examinations are carried out to determine the exact condition of the tooth misalignment. This includes x-rays, dental impressions and possibly digital 3D scans. Based on this information, a therapy plan is developed that takes into account the patient’s specific goals and needs.
Creating the set-up models that represent the desired tooth position at the end of the treatment is another important step. These models are used to custom-make the aligners and ensure that they fit the teeth optimally and achieve the desired movements.
Clear aligners are manufactured in the laboratory using advanced computer-aided technology. Each aligner is made specifically for the patient and is designed to gradually move the teeth into the desired position.
It is important to emphasize that the achievement of goals and the duration of treatment also depend on the patient’s cooperation. Wearing the aligners for the prescribed amount of time per day and regularly inserting new aligners according to the treatment plan are crucial to achieving the desired progress.
