Advantages and Disadvantages of Invisalign

Eunma Apartment Dental Clinic — Yonsei Garden Dental Clinic

Hello. This is Yonsei Garden Dental Clinic, an orthodontic clinic in Daechi-dong. Our clinic is located across from Eunma Apartment, making it convenient for students attending academies in Daechi-dong to receive treatment.

Today, we would like to introduce Invisalign, a clear orthodontic appliance that has been popular recently. Many people also begin orthodontic treatment with Invisalign at our clinic. One of its greatest advantages seems to be that it is not noticeable even while undergoing orthodontic treatment.

What Is Invisalign?

Invisalign® was developed in the United States and is currently the most widely used clear orthodontic appliance worldwide. Invisalign straightens teeth without brackets or wires. Instead, a series of customized clear plastic orthodontic appliances are worn in stages. The clear appliances are not easily noticeable and can be removed, so they can be used without much inconvenience in a busy daily life.

To achieve the best treatment results, it is important to wear the appliances for at least 22 hours a day. However, they can be temporarily removed for meals, important appointments, and oral hygiene care. In other words, you can continue your daily life during treatment without major dietary restrictions.

Each customized orthodontic appliance is made in a slightly different shape. Rather than visiting the clinic to have the appliance adjusted as with conventional orthodontic treatment, you replace it with a new appliance every week, gradually moving the teeth toward their desired positions. As a result, fewer visits to the dental clinic are required.

Invisalign provides highly precise results because the entire treatment plan is precisely designed from beginning to end before treatment starts. The orthodontic appliances are custom-made according to each patient's oral structure and dental condition, allowing orthodontic treatment to proceed efficiently.

Advantages of Invisalign

• Precision – Advanced scanning software makes it possible to establish a precise, customized treatment plan. Before treatment begins, you can check in advance what the final result will look like and when treatment is expected to end.

• Natural appearance – Invisalign orthodontic appliances are made from a transparent material, so they are barely noticeable when worn.

• Comfort – Made from soft plastic, they do not irritate the inside of the cheeks or the gums, and there is no concern about metal allergies.

• Convenience – Because the appliances can be removed, maintaining oral hygiene is easy, and you can freely enjoy exercise, food, and various activities.

Disadvantages of Invisalign

However, Invisalign appliances are made through a process involving the U.S. headquarters and a treatment-planning process called ClinCheck. Since a specialized dental clinic must conduct examinations and establish a treatment plan before requesting the appliances from the headquarters, the relatively high cost can understandably be a burden.

Yonsei Garden Dental Clinic, an orthodontic specialty clinic in Daechi-dong, has prepared an event offering Invisalign orthodontic treatment at a reasonable price. This may be a good opportunity to begin the orthodontic treatment you have been putting off.

Types of Invisalign Orthodontic Treatment

Depending on the purpose and scope of treatment, Invisalign is divided into Invisalign Comprehensive, Lite, and Express. There is also Invisalign First for young children who still have primary teeth. Therefore, you may wish to visit without 부담 and find out which Invisalign appliance is appropriate for you.

Yonsei Garden Dental Clinic has all the latest equipment needed for Invisalign orthodontic treatment, including the iTero Lumina 3D intraoral scanner, growth-plate examinations, and before-and-after treatment simulations using the Morpheus facial scanner. This allows orthodontic treatment to be carried out more precisely and systematically.

In addition, the costs of precision diagnostic examinations and monthly fees are included in the orthodontic treatment fee (excluding the cost of retainers), so you do not need to worry about additional expenses. The clinic also has a general dentistry department, making it possible to receive all treatment needed for orthodontics, such as extractions and cavity treatment, in one place. A split-payment system is available to reduce the burden of paying a large amount all at once, making this an even more appealing option.

Dr. Yoon Jeong-won, the chief director of Yonsei Garden Dental Clinic, is in charge of the orthodontics department. With 16 years of clinical experience specializing exclusively in orthodontics, Dr. Yoon has experience with numerous complex cases. Accordingly, various orthodontic conditions, including malocclusion, protruding teeth or mouth, and a jaw that projects forward, can be treated effectively.

Those considering orthodontic treatment because of protruding teeth or mouth, crooked teeth, malocclusion, a forward-projecting jaw, or similar concerns may have many questions about which orthodontic appliance to choose.

If you have felt concerned about the visibility of orthodontic appliances or have already learned about Invisalign and decided that it is the appliance you prefer, this may be a good opportunity to begin orthodontic treatment without 부담. Even before a precision examination, we provide consultations at no cost regarding whether Invisalign is appropriate for your situation, so please visit us for a consultation at your convenience.

During the consultation, you can compare various appliances, including Clarity and Clippy-C, directly and receive a detailed explanation of their advantages and disadvantages, in addition to Invisalign. We encourage you to call or visit us for a consultation without 부담.

Yonsei Garden Dental Clinic is close to Samseong Station, Hagyeoul Station, Daechi Station, and Hanti Station, making it very convenient to visit from Samseong-dong, Daechi-dong, and Gaepo-dong.
