Advantages and disadvantages of invisible dentures

Teeth have many functions for the human body. However, due to some accidents, teeth may fall out. When this happens, the impact on the human body is very large, so people will take some measures to deal with it. Dentures are products used to repair missing teeth in the human body. Invisible dentures are a type of dentures. So what are their advantages and disadvantages?

Invisible dentures are a new material and technology for denture restoration that has emerged in the United States and Japan in recent years. It uses a highly elastic and flexurally resistant multi-polymer material to replace the metal clasps and plastic hard base of traditional removable dentures. Because the material is well concealed in the mouth, it is called invisible denture. Because the material has strong elasticity, it is also called elastic denture or elastic bionic denture.

1. Advantages of invisible dentures: (1) Concealed and beautiful: In addition to artificial teeth, all bases and retainers of invisible dentures are elastic, the material color is close to the gums, and they are transparent. It is difficult to see that they are dentures when worn in the mouth. There are no traditional dentures made of metal clasps, brackets, supports, etc. exposed in the mouth, which enhances the aesthetic effect. (2) Flexible and durable: Invisible dentures are resilient and have strong tensile and flexural strength. They can even adapt to bending without breaking. Their size and volume are stable in saliva, and there is no base fracture or deformation. (3) Simple and applicable: Invisible dentures require less grinding of abutment teeth and are easy to manufacture because they are formed in one step using pressure infusion. (4) Good retention effect: The invisible denture base is tough and adheres tightly to the mucosa. Its tough clasp and base can enter the concave areas of hard and soft tissues to play a retention role. 2. Disadvantages of invisible dentures: (1) Invisible dentures are used to repair complete tooth loss because the base and clasp materials are elastic and tough, resulting in poor chewing efficiency. (2) When invisible dentures are used to repair partially missing molars, the supports, bases, and clasps are elastic and tough, and there is a sense of sinking and floating of the dentures when chewing.

Precautions: Oral examination should be done before and after wearing dentures, and dentures that fit the mouth should be worn to prevent oral diseases. Lost teeth should be repaired promptly, as long-term vacancy will cause the surrounding teeth to loosen and fall out. When wearing dentures, you should choose a regular hospital for medical guidance and avoid oral diseases caused by cheap dentures. When cleaning dentures, you can choose professional denture cleaning tablets and use them according to the instructions.
