Hello.

For 18 years, steadily

holding my place

and with a cumulative treatment

record of '5,000 cases,'

I am the CEO doctor of Smile D Dental Clinic,

the smiling doctor

Oh Su-hwan.

Our clinic is staffed by three specialists

who listen to patients’ needs and wishes

and work together in consultation.

Because we are directly responsible for every stage,

from one-on-one face-to-face treatment

to post-treatment care,

we have achieved an impressive Naver rating of 4.82.

To repay our patients’

love and support,

we are offering focused treatment in October

for only '30' patients.

"Crooked teeth have been a lifelong source of stress for me.

I found out about Invisalign,

and I’m thinking of going to a clear aligner dental clinic,

but I want to know the honest pros and cons..."

If you clicked on this article now, I think you may have similar concerns.

Crooked teeth can become an appearance-related complex that some people want to hide.

That said, getting braces with wires laid across your teeth like railroad tracks feels burdensome,

so you may have kept putting it off until you learned about the alternative called <Invisalign>.

Of course, the fact that it is less noticeable to others and can change your appearance is very appealing...

But even after searching for a clear aligner dental clinic,

you probably found mostly content that only highlights Invisalign’s advantages,

and wondered whether there are really any disadvantages at all.

Accordingly, as a board-certified orthodontic specialist with 18 years of experience and certification from the Ministry of Health and Welfare,

I will personally use the following sections to honestly and sincerely examine:

1. The concept and features of Invisalign
2. The disadvantages of Invisalign

If you read to the end, it will be a big help in making your decision. ^^

What Are the Concept and Features

of Clear Aligner "Invisalign"?

Invisalign is a brand of clear aligner appliances and holds the No. 1 global market share.

Unlike traditional wire braces that are attached to the teeth,

it works by taking a digital 3D scan of the teeth and pre-making patient-specific staged appliances,

which are then worn one after another to move the teeth.

Invisalign is highly aesthetic because it is not easily noticeable unless viewed up close.

It is also very convenient for hygiene management because the appliance can be removed when eating or brushing your teeth.

In addition, because you can temporarily remove it for important events such as interviews or meetings,

it can be said that it does not become a major obstacle in social or school life.

Limitations of Invisalign and

Tips for Choosing a Clear Aligner Dental Clinic?

As described above, it is true that Invisalign is often presented by emphasizing only its advantages.

Since orthodontic treatment involves a significant investment of time and money, it is important to clearly understand its limitations as well.

| ✔️ Patient cooperation required |

Invisalign only moves the teeth at the desired pace if it is worn for at least 20 to 22 hours a day.

If this is not followed, the treatment period may continue to get longer, or the proper effect may not be achieved.

Every time you drink a beverage, every time you eat a snack,

removing the appliance → brushing your teeth → and putting the appliance back in

can be much more cumbersome than you might imagine.

| ✔️ Longer treatment period |

Invisalign sets up orthodontic plans based on a program called ClinCheck.

If the program’s predictions do not match the patient’s actual tooth movement speed, the treatment period may become longer than initially expected.

Based on my experience, I see treatment being extended in about 3 out of 10 patients.

| ✔️ Cost burden |

Invisalign requires custom fabrication and digital design,

so it tends to be more expensive than wire braces.

To overcome these disadvantages and achieve satisfying treatment results, you need to choose a clear aligner dental clinic 'well.'

For example, at our clinic, the orthodontic specialist myself and another orthodontic specialist doctor

conduct a face-to-face precise diagnosis for each patient and then send the scan data to Invisalign headquarters.

Then, based on the patient’s data, we discuss with the person in charge at Invisalign headquarters

and establish a plan by evaluating whether this method is suitable for the patient and how to achieve the treatment goals.

Based on this, we continue to intervene throughout treatment,

constantly reviewing and supplementing the process so that tooth movement can proceed as planned.

Is that all?

We also take on the role of encouraging patients so they do not become discouraged and can cooperate with treatment well.

In other words, for this series of steps to proceed systematically and smoothly,

a doctor’s expertise and clinical experience are more important than anything else.

So I recommend that those reading this article

carefully check whether it is a hospital with an 'experienced orthodontic specialist' on staff when choosing a dental clinic.

Today, I covered Invisalign’s pros and cons, as well as the importance of choosing the right dental clinic.

In the end, the success of orthodontic treatment

is determined by

the attending doctor’s

diagnostic ability and skill

Please do not forget this point.

I hope you can use this article as a basis to smile with a healthy and beautiful smile anytime, anywhere, and I will wrap up here. ^^
