Invisalign and Clear Aligners
This treatment involves a series of clear plastic trays that are changed weekly or as directed by Dr. Pranata. Biomechanics is implemented via a progression of clear trays to slowly move the teeth into more favorable positions. The end result is a beautiful and functional bite and smile.
Here are some problems that might result from an unfavorable bite or tooth positioning:
- Gum inflammation or bone loss
- Teeth chipping or wearing
- Food getting caught between teeth
- Difficulty flossing
- Biting lips, cheek, or tongue
- Receding gums
To help with tooth movement, little buttons or handles that are nearly invisible are applied to the teeth. Sometimes some slenderizing of the teeth is required to make room for movement.
With the use of clear aligners you won’t be able to stop smiling!
