Putting on and taking off orthodontic wires is a thing of the past!

Is orthodontics just about attaching wires?

0I will introduce an orthodontic method that completely changes patients’ fixed ideas.

Many people think of only one thing when they hear orthodontics.

The image of wires and brackets in the mouth, along with having to endure discomfort for a long time.

Because of these drawbacks, many people hesitate to get orthodontic treatment.

These days, there are also orthodontic treatments that do not require attachments, are less noticeable, and can be removed and put back in.

That is clear aligner treatment.

But there are still many people who ask, “Does that really count as orthodontics?” and “Isn’t the effect weak?”

So today, we will explain in an easy-to-understand way who can receive it and what kind of results it offers.

Removable orthodontics means clear aligners!

A transparent, mouthpiece-type orthodontic appliance is called clear aligners.

You wear a plastic orthodontic appliance inside your mouth,

It is not very noticeable, and you can remove it yourself when eating or brushing your teeth.

Because of this, you can remove the appliance for events like weddings or important presentations, then put it back on again.

These are recommended for people like this!!

• People who do not want their orthodontic appliance to be noticeable
• People whose jobs involve a lot of public appearance (instructors, flight attendants, etc.)
• People concerned about pain and oral hygiene
• People who want to eat and brush their teeth freely

In particular, many adult patients who are working come to us.

Because it is transparent, it is hard to see,

so it is highly recommended for people who find wire braces burdensome.

Does it really work?

It is a relatively recent orthodontic method, and because the image of orthodontics = wires is so strong,

many people misunderstand and think, “Can this really move teeth?”

Since it is a plastic appliance, you may wonder whether it has enough force to move teeth.

However, clear aligners are based on digital analysis that designs tooth movement,

so even fine angle adjustments are possible.

Common cases such as protruding mouth correction and deep-bite correction

are possible in most cases (except when orthognathic surgery is required!)

But with clear aligners, the patient’s wearing habit is the most important factor.

If you do not wear them for more than 20 hours a day, the effect decreases.

You should wear them except when eating.

That way, you can move on to the next stage of appliances as initially planned,

and progress as originally expected in the treatment outcome.

Orthodontics is no longer just about wires

Technology and methods have changed a lot now.

Removable orthodontics really is orthodontics. Wouldn’t it be worth considering at least once?

In the next 10 or 20 years, wire braces may disappear.

If you are concerned about your teeth, start by learning that there are orthodontic options other than wires.

There may be a method that suits you better.

Thank you!
