Therefore, wearing transparent braces makes it easy to use and does not feel pain when wearing braces compared to traditional braces methods. Join My Auris dentistry to learn the operating principles of transparent braces through the article below.
1. Operating principle of transparent braces
Clear braces is an orthodontic technique that uses transparent “trays” to move teeth. The mechanism of action of trays is when they are installed all over the dental arch (upper jaw, lower jaw) to create force to bring the teeth into the desired position.
The braces are designed based on the structure of the jawbone and the level of bite deviation of the patient. From there, each person’s braces will be different. On average, customers have to wear 20 – 40 braces trays. The number of braces trays will depend on the malocclusion condition such as mild underbite, mild buck teeth, etc., there will be different numbers of trays. Every day, you should wear the braces continuously for 22 hours for the braces to work more effectively. Each brace tray will move the teeth about 0.25mm to the desired position.
The advantages of the brace tray are comfort, easy installation and removal, and do not use wires and brackets to brace teeth. This method is suitable for adults with busy jobs or jobs that require daily communication. Besides, with this method you do not need to tighten your teeth compared to the traditional braces method. On the contrary, with transparent braces, you can easily remove them and replace the next brace yourself.
2. Do Invisalign clear braces take longer than regular braces?
To answer this question, you must first learn about the mechanism of action of the two braces methods:
- Transparent braces: is the method of Invisalign braces or also transparent braces. Currently, at My Auris dentistry, people use the most and are the most popular: Invisalign braces, iWay braces, 3D Clear braces,… The duration of wearing clear braces is from 12 – 24 months.
- Regular braces: Available to everyoneMost people know about the braces method with the bracket and wire system. The duration of wearing braces is from 24 – 36 months.
Compared to the two methods of Invisalign and braces, the two methods will have different periods of wearing braces/braces. The time spent wearing braces until the end of treatment will depend on the degree of deviation in the jaw and the patient’s age.
Each method will have different characteristics and the doctor will advise on the appropriate bracing method during the health examination on the first day. However, in cases of severe bite misalignment, braces will be more effective and doctors recommend using this orthodontic technique.
3. Process of making transparent braces
The braces tray will be shipped to the US to the Invisalign center of Align Technology Co. The doctor will conduct an examination and take X-rays to determine, take tooth impressions to analyze technical specifications and produce transparent braces. After that, the doctor will collect all the patient’s parameters and condition. And the data will be sent to a company in the US to create a treatment regimen using proprietary software from the time the tray is brought in until the end of treatment.
After you agree with the treatment regimen, the doctor will notify the technician to design and produce the Invisalign trays.
After being manufactured, braces will be sent to Vietnam with the entire tray according to the plan or treatment prescribed by the doctor. Normally, the time from producing trays to sending them to Vietnam is about 3 weeks. And you start taking impressions when you receive the first tray for treatment, you need to wait about 4 – 6 weeks.
4. Does the clear braces method use any appliances?
Are the orthodontic appliances fixed on the brace frame to ensure stability and orthodontic traction. The devices can be separated to help teeth move easily.
Normally, patients using orthodontic techniques will use a number of dental devices to achieve better results, specifically:
- Attachments on teeth: These are stoppers used in dentistry. Has the same role as traditional braces attached to the real tooth crown, to create a pressure point for the tray during operation.
- Intermaxillary elastic bands: Is a dental elastic band with elasticity, approved by the manufacturer.m to the opposing jaw to enhance tooth movement. This case will apply to crooked teeth and misaligned teeth located outside the jaw bone orbit.
- Polishing and contouring: To create more space or loosen contacts in teeth.
- Pontics: Are dentures designated for use as dentures in cases where tooth extraction is required. This tooth will be hidden in the position where the real tooth was removed.
Does wearing clear braces require dental appliances when wearing braces? – First, you need to examine and listen to the doctor’s treatment plan. The doctor will recommend methods and attach dental appliances (if any) to better support the operation of the braces.
