From Invisalign Clear Aligners to Crowns at Sillim Dental Clinic

Treatment period: 2024.04.13 ~ 2025.08.04

Nice to meet you,

I am Director Park Jung-gi of Sillim Dental Clinic Seoul Remember.

In the past, when people thought of orthodontic treatment,

the presence of visible appliances was so strong

that it was often described as “laying down railway tracks.”

However, with the advancement of dentistry,

there are no longer only noticeable metal appliances.

Invisalign is

a custom-made orthodontic appliance

made from transparent plastic material,

And it is an innovative method that can move teeth

while wearing each staged appliance yourself,

almost invisibly.

Invisalign uses 3D scan technology

to precisely analyze the patient’s oral condition,

and treatment gradually moves the teeth to the desired position

by replacing the stage-by-stage clear aligners every two weeks.

Unlike conventional bracket appliances,

it is removable,

so it causes less inconvenience when eating or brushing,

and because it is made of transparent material,

it has the advantage of causing almost no disruption to daily social life.

Today, at Sillim Dental Clinic,

I will show you one case related to Invisalign.

Of course, this also requires the patient’s cooperation,

and there are limits depending on the oral condition,

so please consult with the doctor in charge before making a decision.

In today’s case at Sillim Dental Clinic,

the teeth were irregularly aligned,

and the front teeth had uneven heights.

In particular, the protruding upper front teeth and

the mismatch between the upper and lower midlines caused

a decline in confidence when smiling,

and due to the old crowns,

the patient also hoped to replace the prosthetics.

When establishing the treatment plan at Sillim Dental Clinic,

the main focus was to move the protruding upper front teeth inward

to create the proper lip volume,

and to align the upper and lower midlines accurately.

Of course, it would have been possible even with brackets,

but in this case, because the patient worked in a job

that involved meeting many people,

they wanted a gradual, natural change without being visible,

so Invisalign was used.

Through a system called ClinCheck,

Invisalign allows you to preview the expected treatment outcome in advance,

so the patient could also begin treatment with confidence.

When you look at the state after all treatment was completed at Sillim Dental Clinic,

the step-by-step movement of the teeth during treatment

showed a noticeable improvement in the alignment.

The protruding front teeth gradually moved backward,

blending naturally with the dental arch,

and the upper and lower midlines are also aligned.

At Sillim Dental Clinic, after the pre-orthodontic treatment was completed,

a new crown was also made for a more satisfying aesthetic result.

By carefully considering even the darkly visible area at the cervical portion,

and fabricating a new crown,

a harmonious overall smile could be completed.

Today, at Sillim Dental Clinic,

through this case, I wanted to show that Invisalign clear aligner treatment

is not simply about improving tooth alignment,

but is a comprehensive treatment that also considers

the overall harmony of the face

and the completeness of the smile.

The more you want detailed changes,

and the clearer your needs are,

the more you should establish a specific plan

through a step-by-step method like Invisalign.

In addition, by making a new crown after orthodontic treatment

and improving even the subtle shadows at the cervical area,

you should achieve a highly satisfying result.

"At Sillim Dental Clinic,

above all, we strive to achieve excellent results

while minimizing inconvenience in daily life throughout the treatment process."

With accurate diagnosis, a systematic treatment plan,

and trust between the patient and the medical team,

we will continue to work hard to provide good care.

Thank you for reading.

This was Director Park Jung-gi of Sillim Dental Clinic Seoul Remember.
