Hello :)
Invisalign Diamond

Jamsil Orthodontic Clinic
This is UPenn Barun Dental Clinic.
How has everyone been?
The upper and lower teeth
look like buck teeth T^T

Today, I’d like to introduce the case of a patient who visited us at the above address^^
What are buck teeth?
It is a shape in which the teeth appear tilted inward,
and because the teeth look as if they are curled inward, it is also called a “protruded-mouth” appearance,
which can also lead to an overbite.

Photos before orthodontic treatment, after wearing the Carriere appliance, and after treatment completion (Carriere wear period: 22/10~23/2)
The patient underwent Invisalign treatment after shortening the treatment period using an orthodontic appliance called the “Carriere Motion Appliance.”
Using the Carriere orthodontic appliance,
we first create a Class I normal occlusion for the posterior molar and canine relationships,
then continue with orthodontic treatment,
which can shorten the Invisalign treatment period.
Rather than moving the teeth one by one,
the upper dental arch is moved toward the molar side all at once,
which causes less discomfort in the mouth and does not greatly interfere with daily life,
and the simple design makes it less noticeable, so it is aesthetically pleasing.


Carriere orthodontic appliance
This appliance is used at the beginning of orthodontic treatment.
Once the posterior occlusion relationship is sufficiently established,
Invisalign is started to improve the alignment of the remaining teeth.
(It is not an essential appliance for Invisalign! Depending on the patient’s malocclusion, the appliance may not be necessary.)
In fact, Invisalign alone can also improve posterior occlusion,
but since it has the advantage of shortening the Invisalign wear period,
it can be a treatment option :)
Now that we have improved the posterior occlusion relationship to some extent,
shall we take a look together at how the orthodontic treatment progresses with Invisalign at
Jamsil Diamond-Level Dental Clinic

1st Clincheck (27 aligners)


After improving the molar occlusion with the Carriere appliance,
we proceeded with the Invisalign ClinCheck.
One of Invisalign’s biggest advantages is that you can predict the final result^^
Invisalign ClinCheck
allows us to check during treatment whether the teeth are moving according to plan,
and it can also be used to determine
whether the treatment process should be advanced faster or
slowed down further.

WOW~!
These are photos after completing the first ClinCheck
with 27 aligners.
Using the space created after the Carriere appliance,
we improved the dental alignment.
Even with just the first ClinCheck, the treatment was completed with a high level of refinement :)
2nd Clincheck (33 aligners)



Total orthodontic treatment period: 22/10~24/12
In the first ClinCheck,
the dental alignment had been improved to some extent,
but in the second ClinCheck,
we supplemented the previous ClinCheck to increase the overall quality of the orthodontic treatment.
We additionally attached attachments to the front teeth
to complement the first ClinCheck and finished with 33 aligners.
What are attachments?
These are devices that can control tooth rotation, movement, height, and angle.
By bonding resin to the teeth,
they help guide tooth movement into the desired position correctly,
and they are an essential element in Invisalign.
3rd Clincheck (20 aligners)



Total orthodontic treatment period: 22/10~24/12
Finally, through the third ClinCheck,
we carefully finished the occlusion and alignment.
From the patient’s initial clinical condition to the final occlusion,
Invisalign can simulate every stage of treatment
and control even the smallest tooth movements in 3D,
so the teeth found their correct positions and finished with a normal occlusion.
Because Invisalign can produce different outcomes depending on who designs the treatment and how,
it is most important to start at a clinic with high skill and extensive experience,
such as Jamsil Invisalign specialist dental clinic
