Design features

The first attempts to correct an incorrect bite with the help of a drop were made many years ago. However, only today it was possible to improve the material for their manufacture, which made such adaptations especially popular among patients.

Elainers or toothpads are robust devices that are manufactured by individual casts and cover the entire surface of the teeth. Such designs have little pressure on the teeth, which leads to their gradual alignment.

Today in stomatology used kapy, made of:

  • silicone;
  • of plastic materials.

Regardless of the material from which the eliners are made, they are transparent and completely unseen after the set-up on the teeth.

Such kapy are removable devices that a person should wear almost the whole day. The patient is allowed to remove them only in order to brush his teeth or take food.

Differences from braces

Many patients are concerned about the question of what is better to use for aligning teeth - kapy or braces. It is unlikely that any specialist will be able to give an unambiguous answer to this question.

The special feature of the Elaine is that they do not disturb the aesthetic appearance of a person, and are completely invisible on the teeth. Braces made of the finest materials are still visible to outsiders.

If the patient wears an elayer, then he should not care about the special care for the oral cavity. In addition, the kaps do not need to follow a special diet, because before taking food the patient takes them off.

To achieve a positive result with the help of a capp, a person must have self-discipline and a certain motivation. In the event that the patient is not sure that he will be able to comply with all these requirements and remove the kapi only if necessary, then it is better to give preference to braces.

When fixing the bite with braces their removal does not mean at all that the treatment is over. In order to consolidate the positive result obtained, specialists are appointed to wear the ortho device for some time. Such a device must be worn on the teeth only for the night, which does not cause any discomfort.

Installation and use of

It is important to remember that eliners are allowed to be worn only on healthy teeth and in the absence of any gum pathology. It is for this reason before the appointment, the specialist conducts a thorough examination of the patient's oral cavity.

In addition, when identifying problem areas or caries it is necessary to treat them. The whole course of aligning the teeth with the help of eliners can be divided into several stages:

  1. specialist studies the features of the oral cavity of and collects information about the patient's bite. In addition, a photo of the face is taken and a cast is taken from the plaster of the patient's jaw.
  2. Based on the molding of a series of teeth of the patient , a set of aliens is produced, which are used to treat a particular person.
  3. When is visited, the is used to install the first kapa to the patient and the rest of the kit is issued. When the treatment is carried out, if necessary, the patient makes an independent replacement of the capsules in accordance with the attached instructions.
It is necessary to visit a specialist every 5-6 weeks, which will allow you to control the alignment of teeth.

The duration of treatment with elynery is determined by the degree of deformation of the dentition. In light cases, such orthodontic devices must be worn for only a few months. With a strong curvature of the dentition, the treatment process can be delayed for several years.

Thoughts of patients of dental clinics

Comments on the application of eleneurs for the purpose of alignment of teeth can be found in a wide variety.

Finally, I decided and installed myself eleeners. The procedure itself went quickly and completely without pain. First, the specialist made casts of my teeth and photos, then he developed a treatment plan for me on a computer program and made kapy. They managed to dress quite quickly, and the discomfort was about 10-15 minutes, when they started to put a little pressure on their teeth. Now everything is fine, I wear eleeners and I calmly remove them and dress them when necessary.

I had never imagined that it's possible to get rid of problems with teeth so quickly and painlessly. Most recently, I went to the dental center, because since childhood I have had a wrong bite. The doctor examined me and advised me to wear the eliners, and also promised that thanks to them it would be completely possible to solve my problems.

At first I was a little scared, because I doubted that I could fulfill all the requirements. But I coped with everything and very soon noticed a positive result. In addition, wearing Elaine does not cause any discomfort and pain, and they are completely invisible to others.
