Advantages and disadvantages of lingual invisible orthodontics

Lingual invisible orthodontic technology is a popular orthodontic technology internationally in recent years. It mainly refers to a treatment method in which the installation of the braces is performed on the lingual side of the teeth. With the improvement of technology in recent years, this method has become more and more popular. This year, more and more dentists have chosen to use this method for orthodontic treatment. It has many advantages, such as accurate size, visual results, etc.

advantage

1. Visualization results

Before the production of personalized lingual invisible braces, the orthodontist determines the treatment plan and produces a plaster model to understand the effect of the molding before production!

2. Accurate size

The brackets for lingual invisible orthodontics are manufactured using Germany's most advanced DLP digital projection technology, and the archwires are original imported archwires, which ensure a perfect match between the archwires and the grooves.

3. No trace of appearance

The lingual invisible braces are worn on the inside of the teeth. The bracket wires are not visible at all, and there is no need to worry about decalcification on the surface of the teeth!

4. Easy to install

Lingual invisible braces are indirectly installed using a mounting tray. The mounting tray has brackets pre-designed on the computer, which are accurately installed on the uncorrected model. The entire model is then precision-manufactured and laminated.

5. Personalized baseboard

The base plate of the personalized lingual invisible braces bracket is precisely designed in the computer according to the different conditions of the patient's tooth surface. It has high positioning accuracy, a large bonding area, and a woven mesh bottom surface with high bonding strength.

shortcoming

①The cost is high, about twice that of ordinary orthodontics.

② The pronunciation will be affected in the first month, but it can be basically improved and adapted after intensive practice.

③The course of treatment is about 2-3 months longer than ordinary orthodontics, mainly because there is an adaptation period.

Precautions

1. Lingual invisible braces are placed on the side of the tongue, and the tongue is a very sensitive organ in the human body. In the early stages of treatment, patients may experience severe discomfort that may affect their speech, and the appliance may irritate the edge of the tongue and cause pain. All of these require patients to gradually adapt. Some patients cannot tolerate the initial pain of correction and have to remove the braces, thus abandoning the treatment halfway. So if you want a set of perfect teeth, you must persevere after starting orthodontic treatment.

2. Orthodontics is a long-term treatment, usually lasting two to three years. Therefore, before orthodontics, the patient should consult and learn more about the general process of the treatment, its course, cost, and whether the time is suitable for him. He may have to go to the hospital frequently during these two years. Because it is difficult for patients to judge the level of a doctor, if you don’t know the doctor, it is better to find a regular hospital to be safer.
