Invisible: new view on orthodontics

Aligners or kapys Invisible is a detachable orthodontic construction, which is a series of overlays on the dentition and is designed for its alignment.

They are made from a transparent biopolymer, due to which they are absolutely imperceptible to others.

Sometimes Invisilein is called transparent braces. In fact, braces are a permanent orthodontic device that the doctor fastens with a special glue to the outer or inner surface of the tooth and it is worn without taking off throughout the treatment. You can also remove the bracket system only from a specialist.

But Invisalign can easily remove the mouthpiece for eating and oral hygiene.

Features of orthodontic construction

Invisalign, which in English means "invisible alignment"- it's new, but in a short time has become popular

, the correction system of the dentition with removable transparent caps. It was developed by the American company Align Technology, which is a monopolist in the use of this method.

When worn, the mouthguards have a small but constant pressure on the teeth, which results in the movement in the desired direction and the alignment of the dentition. After a certain time, the kappa changes to a new one, whose inner cavity is slightly smaller than the previous one.

Unlike elainers produced by other companies, transparent viscose braces Invisible have active attachments, which can reliably fix orthodontic device.

In addition, the production of systems is fully automated - they are made by robots, and people only control the operation of machines, so the errors in the manufacture of the device are minimal. To produce other models, people are involved to a greater extent, which affects their quality.

For the production of elainers, an elastic and at the same time strong biopolymer is used, which has no analogues. This allows you to create a kapy tightly adjacent to the dental row of patients, resulting in the system does not fall off and does not break, unlike others.

In most cases, the edges of the cap are flat, and the Invisible system is cut off, and they completely repeat the shape of the gum and do not put pressure on it when worn. Most parents fear that the child will not wear the orthodontic design of the prescribed time and from the treatment will not be of use.
