Teeth alignment with aligners

From the very beginning of the therapy, the teeth experience pressure, which stimulates the resorption of bone tissue in the area where it is needed. In the first stage, which can last from 12 to 52 weeks, the teeth shift by 1–2 mm. The effectiveness of the procedure is affected by the complexity of the case.

Then comes the stage of creating optimal occlusion (bite correction). As the teeth approach the ideal position, it is time to correct the closure of the dental arches. Aligners help to correct asymmetry and achieve the desired overlap of the upper teeth with the lower ones. The active phase of this stage lasts from 16 to 24 weeks.

The last stage of bite correction with aligners is associated with stabilizing the teeth in an unusual position for them. This step involves strengthening the bone tissue located near the roots of the teeth.

Teeth alignment with aligners

What are aligners?

Advanced orthodontic devices made of clear medical plastic called aligners are removable trays for correcting the position of teeth.
Indications for installing aligners on teeth

Installation of aligners for teeth alignment is recommended in the following situations:

  • Crooked teeth
  • Overcrowded dentition
  • Gaps between teeth
  • Crossing teeth
  • Protruding teeth
  • Minor discrepancies in the arrangement of teeth
  • The need for additional correction after tooth displacement caused by orthodontic therapy
  • The need for invisible correction of teeth

This therapy is also ideal for those who are looking for an aesthetic and affordable way to correct the dentition, especially adults and teenagers for whom appearance is important during the therapy period.

Contraindications for installation

Treatment of teeth with aligners is not recommended in the following cases:

  • Complex orthodontic defects requiring deep correction, which cannot be provided by aligners
  • Presence of dentures or dental bridges
  • Poor oral hygiene or gum disease
  • Childhood

To determine the suitability of installing dental aligners, it is important to consult an orthodontist. The specialist will conduct an examination, after which he will say whether it is worth installing aligners.

General information

Advantages and disadvantages of aligners

The cost of treatment with aligners is comparable to therapy with lingual braces and is often even lower. Other pros and cons of dental services:

Category Advantages Disadvantages
Aesthetics The aligners are made of transparent material, making them almost invisible Upon closer inspection, the aligners can be seen
Convenience The aligners can be removed before eating, which simplifies oral care The aligners are not suitable for correcting serious anomalies
Hygiene The patient can clean the units in the usual way without special devices, minimizing the risk of plaque Aligners also need cleaning
Predictability of alignment With the help of a computer model, you can see the result of therapy in advance, which allows the patient to see the future smile before the start of treatment In order to wait for the forecast to be realized, patience is required

During therapy, you need to visit the orthodontist 1-2 times a month. You can install aligners in Moscow at an affordable price at the K+31 clinic. You can find out the price for treatment with aligners in Moscow and other details of the procedure on the clinic's website and by phone.

Stages of installing aligners to correct bite

Teeth alignment using transparent aligners involves the following stages:

Step Description of the process
Diagnostics The orthodontist conducts a thorough examination, performs a 3D scan and sets treatment goals. At this stage, the aligners are selected and the duration of therapy is determined.
Preparation and installation A detailed 3D model of the dental system is created, then sent to the laboratory for the manufacture of aligners. If necessary, the orthodontist treats gum disease.
Active movement The patient begins to use the aligners. The units move 2 mm every 2-4 weeks. The duration varies from 12 weeks to a year.
Formation of occlusion The correct bite is created after the correction of the main defects. The main attention is paid to the uniform closure of the dental arches.
Stabilization of the result After achieving improvements, the overlays are used to fix the position of the teeth. Patients switch to using aligners only at night.
Using Retainers Once the active phase of therapy is complete, the orthodontist may recommend wearing retainers to keep the teeth in the desired position.

The total duration of alignment with aligners can vary from 8 months to 2 years.

Answers to popular questions

Doctors at the K+31 clinic answered the most frequently asked questions about aligners.

I have a back bite. Should I get aligners?

Yes, I should get aligners. Aligners are successful in 92% of clinical cases in children and adults. In the remaining 8% of cases, we recommend using alternative alignment methods.

How to care for teeth with aligners?

To clean your teeth, you need to remove the aligners, so the care process remains standard. After each brushing, you should also rinse the aligners.

Should I install aligners on an eleven-year-old child if all the baby teeth have already been replaced, but the second molars have not yet erupted?

Answer from the dentist at K+31: “Children's aligners are a good alternative to traditional removable plates. If you have the financial means, then you should consider this option. Even if you need to use braces in the future, using overlays can significantly reduce the period of wearing them.”
