This Is How Clear Aligner Treatment Progresses! You Receive the Appliance at Home!

Hello~

I’m Lee Juri, the head doctor at Seoul Bardi Dental Clinic.

Recently, there have been so many people considering clear aligners!!

Some even ask to proceed with clear aligners instead of a conventional orthodontic method, haha.

Many people want clear aligners for both convenience and aesthetics.

Since they have not experienced it themselves, they may wonder whether the process is complicated.

How does the treatment proceed?

You may have these questions.

This Is How Clear Aligner Treatment Progresses! You Receive the Appliance at Home!

Today, I’ll explain step by step how clear aligner treatment progresses~~

Clear aligner treatment progresses like this.

1. Initial Consultation and Detailed Diagnosis

The beginning of every treatment is accurate consultation and diagnosis, right~?

We first check the condition of the teeth and обязательно ask what parts the patient wants to improve through orthodontic treatment!

It’s not only about checking whether the condition can be improved with clear aligners, but also about understanding the patient’s needs~

Because we can find out why they want orthodontic treatment!

We set the reasons for orthodontic treatment and the treatment goals.

While looking at the intraoral photos, we communicate by drawing with the patient.

Nothing is as immediately clear as a photo~~

And then we perform a detailed analysis.

Here, the treatment period, whether tooth extraction is necessary, the orthodontic method, and whether the desired improvements can be achieved

Everything is decided!!!

After the detailed diagnosis is completed, we create a customized orthodontic plan based on the patient’s tooth alignment and condition.

During this process, you can preview the expected orthodontic result of the clear aligner treatment in advance, so you can visually predict how it will look after treatment.

Once such a clear plan is established, appliance fabrication begins.

The appliance is made digitally using an intraoral scanner!

Clear aligners, too, are not a traditional orthodontic method; they are a modern technology.

Invisalign and S-Through Tech, both clear aligner systems scan the teeth digitally.

Like taking photos one after another, we identify the oral structure~~

2. Clear Aligner Fabrication

Custom clear aligners are fabricated according to the tooth movement plan.

Clear aligner fabrication generally takes about 1 to 2 weeks, and each appliance is designed to guide slightly different tooth movements at each stage.

The advantage here is that the appliances are delivered to your home.

So even if you live overseas, or even if you live in a provincial area,

we can ship them to the address you want!

In the beginning, you need to visit the clinic because diagnosis and consultation are necessary,

but later, you will receive the appliances at home step by step!!

3. First Appliance Wear and Instructions

After receiving the fabricated orthodontic appliance, you will wear it for the first time.

Even when you buy shoes for the first time, they can rub your heels and feel uncomfortable, right~

Since it is your first clear aligner,

you need an adjustment period, and there are many things you should know.

How to wear the appliance, how to care for it, and what to be careful about

we explain all of these in detail.

In particular, we explain very often that if you do not wear it for at least 20 hours, orthodontic treatment will not proceed properly haha.

When you first put in the appliance, there may be some discomfort, but most patients get used to it quickly.

People are creatures of adaptation!!

4. Regular Checkups and Appliance Replacement

With clear aligner treatment, a new appliance is generally replaced every 2 weeks, allowing the teeth to move gradually.

Since the appliances are received at home, the downside is that if they are not worn properly, it can be difficult to check the progress until you come to the clinic.

So we regularly visit the clinic to check whether the teeth are moving well.

If necessary, we revise the plan and provide retraining as well!!!

5. Finishing Orthodontic Treatment and Wearing Retainers

When the parts you wanted to improve at the beginning have been treated and orthodontic treatment comes to an end,

we make and wear a retainer so that the teeth do not return to their original position,

preventing relapse.

After all that treatment, we absolutely must prevent the teeth from moving back~

Now that you’ve looked at the clear aligner treatment process in order, does it make more sense~?

If you are considering clear aligners, feel free to ask questions and clear up your concerns through a consultation anytime!

Accurate consultation and diagnosis are the key to successful orthodontic treatment.

Please just tell us what you want to improve and why you want orthodontic treatment!

The treatment process after that will be led by the orthodontic doctor and me.
