Aligners for teeth in Odessa
Correcting the bite with aligners, or they are also called mouth guards, are the safest way to align the teeth or correct the bite. At the same time, aligners, unlike braces, are more attractive for patients. This is primarily due to the aesthetic appearance, since aligners are often transparent and almost invisible when worn. Also, unlike classic braces, each patient during the period of teeth alignment or occlusion correction with aligners can independently remove them and put them on at a convenient time, which is very important, for example, when cleaning teeth.
You can only find out if aligners are suitable for correcting occlusion or straightening teeth with a specialized specialist. Dentists-orthodontists treat narrowly focused doctors who have the right to prescribe the installation of aligners to certain patients. To find out if aligners are right for you or your child, you can contact our dental clinic "Asteria" in Odessa, at st. Topolevaya 14/1 (Tairovo district).
Indications for installing aligners
You need to think about using these modern designs if you have:
- rotation of one or more teeth;
- teeth are too tilted or knotted together;
- there is a need to create a place for placing a dental implant;
- dentoalveolar shortening or lengthening;
- the shape of the dentition is disturbed;
- there are wide gaps between the teeth.
Aligners are also used to fix the result from the use of braces, so that after removing the bracket system, the teeth do not return to their previous position. In such cases, dentists advise to use the design periodically and over several years.
What are aligners?
Aligners are a type of mouthguard that is worn as a cover for the lower or upper row of teeth. Such a construction is made of a transparent polymer, thanks to which the aligners are almost invisible to prying eyes. The material from which the lining is made is quite tough and durable.
How much do aligners cost?
Aligners are individual and are created strictly according to the impression of the dentition. In other words, they are always unique to each person. For difficult cases of curvature of the dentition, several aligners can be made designed for step-by-step correction. The exact cost can be determined by a specialist on the basis of the examination and the selected materials of the cap aligners by the patient himself.
How long to wear aligners?
To form a correct bite or align the lower or upper row of teeth, the period of application (wearing) of aligners can vary from several months to a year. Only the attending physician prescribes and regulates the wearing period of cap aligners. This is the competence of specialists such as orthodontists. It usually takes less time for adolescents than for adults.
