More than 60% of patients already use invisible orthodontics

Currently, invisible orthodontics is one of the most demanded dental specialties in dental clinics. Dr. Tomás Miquel, specialist in Orthodontics and Stomatology, tells us what this treatment consists of and why it is the most requested among patients, with more than 60% of people who visit the clinic choosing this orthodontic system.

Doctor, what does invisible orthodontics consist of?

Invisible orthodontics is a system of invisible dental aligners, which have to be changed as the weeks of treatment go by. Each aligner carries different information depending on the movements to be made, there will be cases with few aligners and others with many, it all depends on the malocclusion to be treated.

At the Clinic we are in love with the invisible orthodontic system, it is a daily practice and we would like it to be like this for life. In addition, we are also beginning to apply this treatment to both children and adolescents.

What are the benefits of invisible orthodontics?

The main benefits of invisible orthodontic treatment are comfort, speed and efficiency thanks to its effectiveness in application. In addition, it is also a much healthier treatment.

What role does 3D technology play in this type of treatment?

3D technology is our backbone, all our patients are scanned with 3D technology and a CBCT is performed, that is, a computerized tomography to perform a scan that produces 3D images of the patient’s teeth, soft tissues, bones and nerves. It is the perfect way to be able to see inside the patient’s mouth without having to open it and thus be able to identify if there is any type of medical complication or pathology.

Is there any pathology that decreases with invisible orthodontics?

Yes, after having applied this treatment on multiple occasions, we are realizing that the crowding that causes an accumulation of plaque and mobility of the pieces can be fixed thanks to invisible orthodontics. Even, on some occasions, an improvement in articular pathologies is also perceived once the problems of dental malocclusion are solved.

What are the main reasons for patients to opt for this treatment?

As we have already mentioned, around 60% of the patients who visit our clinic opt for this orthodontic method, mainly because of its comfort and effectiveness in terms of results. And also because of their esthetics, since they are much more discreet than conventional orthodontics.

Do you think that oral health, after the pandemic, has become a priority?

Orthodontics has always been a priority treatment for our patients, I think the pandemic has not done any good, in any area. Wearing a mask over the mouth has caused more than one patient to neglect their oral health,

These patients usually come to us when they feel pain that they are unable to bear and come urgently to the office. In recent months, many patients have told us how their last check-up was before the pandemic. Oral health is not something we recommend leaving aside, as checkups help to avoid many oral problems that if left untreated can end up damaging teeth altogether.
