An even row of teeth is always self-confidence, the basis of success and career advancement. Today, experts offer two methods of bite correction - braces and aligners. The first option is much inferior to the second due to low aesthetics and discomfort while wearing.
Aligners from Eurokappa appeared on the Russian market relatively recently, but have already replaced the classic braces. More and more dental clinic patients are choosing aligners.
What are aligners?
These are orthodontic constructions that allow solving the problem while maintaining the aesthetics of the dentition - the bite is corrected, but the patient does not experience discomfort, since the wearing of the structure remains little noticeable for surrounding.
The aligners are transparent. For their manufacture, casts are taken from the patient's teeth for further processing of the material in the dental laboratory. This elastic material (special silicone) is hypoallergenic and does not cause discomfort during the process of taking an impression.
The peculiarity of the aligners is that, if necessary, they can be removed for a short time (up to 2 hours), for example, during public speaking or important events. In addition, they are absolutely painless and do not cause any discomfort during speech, eating, and allow you to brush your teeth with a regular brush.
Indications and contraindications for the installation of aligners
Mouth guards (aligners) give a positive effect only in the first stages of malocclusion. If there is a slight curvature of the teeth or it is required to fix the result obtained after treatment with braces, then specialists offer mouthguards.
Indications for wearing mouthguards include:
- increase in intervals between dental units;
- preparation of the site for implantation;
- the presence of crowded teeth;
- open, straight, cross, distal bites
What are the benefits of aligners?
The following are the advantages of wearing mouthguards:
- tight fit;
- visually invisible;
- convenience and comfort;
- security;
- ease of care;
- no food restrictions.
The only disadvantages of aligners are the relatively high cost of treatment against the background of braces and contraindications. These include anomalies of the jaw and teeth, hard deposits on the enamel, the acute phase of gum inflammation, etc.
Investing in dental care is an investment in yourself. Problems with teeth spoil the appearance. Because of this, the process of early aging of the face begins. This is especially true for women over the age of 40. Incorrect bite often causes nasolabial folds, sagging skin and jawline.
