What is Invisalign?
Invisalign are plastic, transparent trays, also called aligners, used for straightening teeth and correcting malocclusion. Invisalign aligners have been our specialty since 2008.
Treatment begins with a digital scan of the patient's teeth. Using the three-dimensional model, the dentist creates a complete plan of teeth straightening, including the shift from the initial to the desired position. The knowledge and experience of the doctor is extremely important here, as he has to predict and design all the necessary movements of the teeth in advance.
The great advantage of this technique is the ability to present a visualization of the final result even before the treatment begins. You can see how your new, dream smile will look like and check whether it meets your expectations. We make the visualization for you at no extra cost!
Once the treatment plan is approved, we order a set of Invisalign aligners that are individually tailored to the individual patient's bite, and gradually move the teeth. Each aligner from the set should be worn for about a week and replaced until the desired tooth alignment is achieved.
Unlike fixed braces, Invisalign aligners are practically invisible after being put on, additionally they can be taken off and put back on at any time, which definitely increases the patient's comfort. It is important that they should be used for about 20 hours a day.
Invisalign transparent aligners are a very precise, digital tool which, in the hands of an experienced orthodontist, can cure even very difficult malocclusions. However, remember that the final result depends on the skills and experience of the orthodontist as well as cooperation and commitment of the patient. Together, we can achieve a new, beautiful smile, which will change your life. Regain your self-confidence and smile widely!

How does Invisalign work?
Invisalign aligners move your teeth by applying controlled pressure of the right amount of force, which moves your teeth into the position specified by your doctor. Unlike traditional braces, each Invisalign arch works not only in the right place, but also for the appropriate length of time.

Invisalign - frequently asked questions
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
It depends on the malocclusion and dental abnormalities. In case of Invisalign, the treatment is about 6 months faster than in case of classic fixed braces and on average takes from 10 to 18 months.
For minor malocclusions, treatment takes about six months.
Does aligner affect the way you speak?
For the vast majority of patients, Invisalign do not affect the way they speak. However, it is important to remember that, as with any treatment, a period of time is required at the beginning to adjust to something new on your teeth.
Do you have to follow any food restrictions during the treatment?
Using Invisalign does not affect your diet, as unlike traditional fixed braces, the overlays are removed before meals and allow you to maintain perfect hygiene throughout your orthodontic treatment.
I travel a lot and don't have time for frequent check-ups, are dental trays a good solution in my case?
When treating malocclusion with Invisalign overlays, our specialist anticipates all tooth movements and prepares the entire treatment process from the beginning. Thanks to this, we can definitely reduce the number of necessary control visits. Also the number of potential failures is significantly lower compared to traditional braces. Therefore, plastic overlays on teeth are ideal braces for busy people and those who travel a lot.
At what age can I begin treatment with Invisalign?
We can treat adults, adolescents and children with dental overlays. The age of the patient is not a problem. During the consultation visit we will inform you when it is best to start treatment in a particular case.
Can overlays cure a major malocclusion?
In the case of orthodontic treatment, the knowledge and experience of the doctor and the cooperation of the patient play a key role. Invisalign is only a tool, but in the right hands it is very effective. Currently, with the use of Invisalign plastic trays we are able to treat practically any malocclusion.
