What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a modern orthodontic treatment that uses clear, removable aligners to straighten your teeth discreetly. These aligners are custom-made to fit your teeth and gradually shift them into the desired position.
Benefits of Invisalign
1) Comfort and Convenience
Invisalign aligners are smooth and comfortable, with no metal brackets or wires.
2) Discreet Appearance
The clear aligners are virtually invisible, making them a popular choice for adults and teenagers.
3) Removable
You can easily remove the aligners for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing, effortlessly maintaining oral hygiene.
4) Customized Treatment
Each aligner is custom-made to fit your teeth and designed for your specific treatment plan.
Types of Malocclusion Treated with Invisalign
Severe Overbite, buck teeth
(Deep Bite)
When your upper front teeth overlap too much over your lower front teeth, often referred to as a teeth overlapping problem. This occurs when the top teeth cover the bottom teeth excessively. Invisalign aligners can help correct this issue, leading to a beautiful smile.
Underbite (Class III)
When your lower jaw sticks out and your lower teeth are in front of your upper teeth. This underbite problem occurs when the bottom teeth overlap the top teeth, causing the lower jaw to protrude. Invisalign can help align your teeth properly, enhancing your facial profile.
Crowded Teeth, High Canine
When there isn't enough space in your mouth for your teeth to fit normally, causing them to overlap or twist. This teeth crowding issue occurs when your teeth are too close together, bunched up, or packed tightly, leading to overlapping teeth. Invisalign can create the space needed for your teeth to align correctly.
Gap Teeth
When there are noticeable spaces or gaps between your teeth. This can occur when teeth have gaps, are spaced apart, or there is a gap between teeth, resulting in teeth not being close together or spaces between teeth. Invisalign can close these gaps, giving you a uniform and beautiful smile.
Crossbite
When some of your upper teeth sit inside your lower teeth rather than outside. This teeth alignment issue occurs when teeth don't align properly, don't fit together correctly, or are misaligned. It means your upper and lower teeth don't match and bite incorrectly. Invisalign can correct crossbite, improving the function and appearance of your bite.
Open Bite
When your upper and lower teeth don't touch when your mouth is closed, leaving a gap. This occurs when there is a gap between your upper and lower teeth, your teeth don't close properly, or your teeth remain open when biting. This issue also means your front teeth don't meet when your mouth is closed. Invisalign can help close the open bite, allowing your teeth to meet properly and enhancing your smile.
Invisalign Packages
1) Invisalign Comprehensive
Ideal for complex cases, providing a complete set of aligners for full orthodontic treatment.
2) Invisalign Lite
Suitable for mild to moderate cases, offering fewer aligners and a shorter treatment duration.
3) Invisalign Express
Designed for minor adjustments and quick treatments, using the least number of aligners.
4) Invisalign First
A specialized Invisalign package designed for young children who require early orthodontic intervention. It focuses on correcting developing dental issues, such as crowding, spacing, and alignment, while accommodating the growth of the child's teeth and jaws. This treatment is ideal for children with mixed dentition (a combination of baby and permanent teeth) and aims to create a healthy foundation for a beautiful smile as they grow.
5) Vivera Retainers
After completing your Invisalign treatment, maintaining your new smile is crucial. Vivera retainers, provided by Invisalign, are made with the same advanced technology as the aligners. They are clear, strong, and designed to keep your teeth in their new position. Vivera retainers are custom-made to fit your teeth perfectly and are more durable than standard retainers.
Invisalign Treatment Process
1) Initial Consultation
During your first visit, we'll discuss your goals and determine if Invisalign is right for you.
2) Custom Treatment Plan
Using advanced digital imaging, we create a precise treatment plan tailored to your needs.
3) Aligners are on the way
Your aligners are customized according to your treatment plan.
4) Wearing Your Aligners
You'll wear each set of aligners for about two weeks, gradually moving your teeth into place.
5) Monitoring Progress
Regular check-ups at our Gangnam clinic ensure your treatment is progressing as planned.
6) Completion and Retention
Once your treatment is complete, we'll provide retainers to help maintain your beautiful smile.
