Invisible Orthodontic Appliances

Orthodontic treatment is possible not only with fixed appliances but also with removable aligners. These aligners are made from clear, thin, special plastic sheets, making them virtually invisible to an external observer. They can be easily removed and reinserted as needed.

Invisible and removable

Invisible orthodontics is a modern, aesthetic solution for aligning teeth. Its discreet appearance makes it an ideal choice for both adults and teenagers. The aligners are clear and removable, almost unnoticeable during daily wear, allowing them to be worn confidently at work or social events. During the treatment process, the aligners are replaced gradually, step by step moving the teeth into the desired position.

I use two types of invisible orthodontic systems: BioAligner and ClearAligner. The BioAligner is made with digital technology, while the Clear Aligner is manually set up using plaster models. The latter is particularly beneficial for minor adjustments of a few millimeters and is more affordable. Both systems are comfortable, easy to clean, and allow proper oral hygiene maintenance during treatment, while gradually perfecting the patient’s smile.

Types of Appliences

Clear Aligner (CA)

The Clear Aligner (CA) technique is an orthodontic treatment method that uses clear, aesthetic, and comfortable plastic aligners to move the teeth. It is recommended for both adults and children and is applicable for permanent teeth. The aligners cover the entire teeth and 2-5 mm of the gums. Since the aligners are made of clear plastic, they are virtually invisible to the external observer.

Digital Aligner (BioAligner)

The BioAligner is a modern, digitally designed clear aligner system that offers a discreet and comfortable solution for moving teeth. These removable aligners are nearly invisible, making them an aesthetic choice for both adults and teenagers. The BioAligner is custom-made to ensure a precise fit and effective treatment, while causing minimal discomfort in daily life.

How should I care for the aligners?

Aligners should be cleaned daily to prevent plaque and bacteria buildup. Use a soft toothbrush and lukewarm water to clean them. Avoid hot water, as it can deform the aligners.

Will I be able to speak normally while wearing the aligners?

You may experience slight speech difficulties or a lisp in the first few days, but as you get used to the aligners, your speech will return to normal.

Am I a candidate for invisible orthodontic treatment?

Invisible aligners are typically suitable for correcting mild to moderate crowding, gaps, crossbites, and deep bites. Your doctor will determine if you are a candidate after a thorough consultation and examination.

How long does invisible orthodontic treatment take?
