Il existe de nombreuses raisons pour qu’un adulte souhaite bénéficier d’un traitement Invisalign à Genève. Cela peut-être pour corriger un problème d’alignement des dents causé par un accident, soigner une malocclusion ou soigner une imperfection de son sourire pour des raisons esthétiques.
If you have always wanted to improve the appearance of your smile, but have questions about this treatment, then you have come to the right place.
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign est un traitement orthodontique qui permet d’aligner les dents sans recourir à un appareil dentaire traditionnel.
Using a patented material, resistant and flexible at the same time, the Invisalign aligners combine discretion and effectiveness of the orthodontic treatment.
Le traitement consiste en l’utilisation en série de gouttières plastique transparentes et invisibles pour le néophyte. Portées les unes après les autres, elles vont progressivement aligner les dents.
Les gouttières suivent le plan de traitement réalisé par votre orthodontiste. Ce type de traitement est différent des traitements avec bagues, une expertise est nécessaire car les mouvements des dents doivent être prévus à l’avance et bien échelonnés dans le temps.
What are the advantages of Invisalign aligners?
The transparent aligners Invisalign are almost invisible. It is thus possible to carry out the correction of the bad dental positionings without your entourage professional or family being aware of it.
The gutters are removable. This means you can eat and drink whatever you want. You can brush your teeth quite naturally before replacing them. Unlike fixed braces, Invisalign does not increase the risk of tooth decay.
You can see the result of the treatment in advance on the computer screen and influence the appearance of your teeth at any time. You can say goodbye to unpleasant surprises.
What is the cost of Invisalign treatment in Geneva?
For many people looking for Invisalign treatment, the first issue that comes up is price.
The cost of your personal Invisalign treatment plan will be determined by an Invisalign-trained practitioner based on your specific needs.
In principle, orthodontic treatment with Invisalign is no more expensive than treatment with fixed braces. The price will depend mainly on the complexity of the case and the number of aligners needed to achieve the desired correction.
If, for example, only the front teeth need to be corrected, the cost is more affordable than if the back teeth also need correction.
What is the duration of the Invisalign treatment in Geneva?
The length of treatment depends on several factors, such as the complexity of your case and how often you wear your aligners. The dentist trained in the Invisalign system will determine the exact duration of treatment according to your individual needs.
On average, Invisalign treatment takes 12 to 18 months. However, you can see the first results after only a few weeks.
The stages of Invisalign treatment at the Centre Dentaire Lancy
Au Centre Dentaire Lancy, nous traitons de nombreux patients à l’aide de la technique Invisalign. Cela permet de réaligner les dents sans avoir recours à un traitement plus visible, comme les bagues.
Here are the steps involved in this orthodontic treatment:
- Creation of a 3D virtual model of your teeth using specialised software
- Visualisation of the millimetre by millimetre movement of your teeth over the weeks with the specialist dentist.
- Designing custom translucent gutters using the virtual model
- Substitution of customised trays as your teeth move
How does the first Invisalign consultation go?
During the first Invisalign consultation at Centre Dentaire Lancy, we will review the various treatment options and check that the use of aligners is possible in your case. An estimate will be drawn up for you.
Digital fingerprinting
First, an impression of the teeth will be made. Then, using an innovative technique, a digital model of the teeth will be created, along with a visual projection of the final aesthetic result. This model will be used to produce your invisible aligners.
The application of Invisalign cleats
Three weeks later, your aligners will be ready. At the appointment, the orthodontist will place cleats on your teeth, which will allow your aligners to fit properly.
The orthodontist will then give you your Invisalign aligners, made to measure and in transparent plastic. They also benefit from very strong resistance characteristics, necessary to control the movement of the teeth.
They are delivered in boxes and we recommend that they are kept in a safe place to protect them and avoid losing them.
How to maintain your Invisalign gutters?
Wearing Invisalign aligners is a daily discipline. They should be worn 22 hours a day and only removed at mealtimes. You should clean your aligners before putting them in your mouth.
Vous utiliserez, à cet effet, une brosse à dents avec de l’eau et, éventuellement, un peu de dentifrice. L’utilisation de fil dentaire est également recommandée. Durant votre traitement, vous serez suivi par une hygiéniste dentaire.
Afin d’assurer une parfaite hygiène buccale, elle sera amenée à réaliser un ou deux détartrages, durant la durée de ce traitement orthodontique.
Replace gutters regularly
Invisalign aligners are evolutionary. At each appointment, our team will give you new aligners, to be changed every 15 days. So that the forces exerted are not too important and that the result is stable, your teeth are moved gradually stage by stage.
For the treatment to be successful, it is essential to wear the trays all day and to wear them for a fortnight without a break.
The end of the treatment is approaching and your cleats will be removed.
There will be one essential step left, so that your teeth do not move any more: to hold them in place with the help of a retention wire, a wire glued directly to the back of the teeth, totally invisible and painless.
This last step will ensure that the treatment will last over time.
Once your treatment is complete, you can finally enjoy your new smile.
At Centre Dentaire Lancy, your smile is our business!
