or because of time?

For adult orthodontics in your 20s and 30s,

The right time for orthodontic treatment

Since teeth are one of the bones,

and the tissue surrounding the teeth

is also the alveolar bone,

people may think that there is a proper timing for orthodontic treatment

because of the idea associated with “bones.”

That is why some people do not even consider adult orthodontics.

Of course, the best time for orthodontic treatment is during growth,

and if treatment is started before the growth plates close,

the process can involve less pain and a shorter treatment period.

A treatment with less pain and a shorter period means that,

in other words,

after adulthood, when the growth plates have closed,

there may be relatively more pain and more time required,

but it does not mean that treatment is impossible.

Orthodontic appliances

Even after deciding on adult orthodontics,

one reason people continue to delay treatment

is the aesthetics of orthodontic appliances.

The orthodontic appliance that is commonly known

is wire-bracket orthodontics,

in which brackets are attached to the teeth

and wire is connected with thin metal wire and rubber bands to apply pressure.

This is often recognized as metal braces,

sometimes called railroad tracks or train tracks.

Such metal braces may not suit adult orthodontics,

where people go to work or school

and face society as working adults.

In such cases, one appliance that can be chosen

is clear aligners.

What are clear aligners?

Clear aligners are

made from special plastic,

fit closely against the teeth to apply pressure,

are completely invisible,

and are excellent for correcting the alignment of the teeth and malocclusion.

Like basic orthodontic treatment, clear aligners

are effective not only for correcting malocclusions such as Class I, II, and III malocclusion, overbite, and open bite, but also for correcting crooked teeth, impacted tooth positioning abnormalities, gaps between teeth, and teeth that are twisted or misaligned.

Clear aligners are made step by step,

so the number of clinic visits is usually low, at once every 3 to 6 months,

which gives you plenty of time flexibility.

Although the treatment range for clear aligners is expanding,

clinical limitations may still exist,

such as extrusion, rotation, and control of distal tipping,

so after finishing clear aligner treatment,

it is a good idea to visit a clinic that can compensate for these clinical limitations.

Clear aligner brands

Each brand that makes clear aligners has its own strengths and weaknesses.

Invisalign

As the first digital clear aligner,

it has a large amount of clinical data,

so its stability is high, and the appliance’s durability and elasticity are outstanding.

Using its own specially developed plastic,

intermediate stages are made with a 3D printer based on the final outcomes.

Nanoliner

A domestic digital clear aligner developed in Korea with advice from orthodontic specialists,

based on the technical research director and chief advisory committee of the country’s largest orthodontic specialty company.

From the setup stage,

orthodontic specialists and dental technicians participate,

making it a step-by-step custom-made appliance

that enables fast and precise treatment.

MagicAligner

A domestic digital clear aligner made by Cozansa,

a subsidiary of Osstem, a Korean implant company.

Using 3-layer composite Magic Foil,

it reduces the pain at the beginning of orthodontic treatment.

This is a step-by-step custom-made appliance.

Serafin, Didiheim

These are lesser-known but increasingly popular domestic digital clear aligners.

Serafin is a domestic digital clear aligner made by TNES,

a subsidiary of DENTIS, a Korean implant company.

Didiheim is a domestic digital clear aligner made by an AI digital dental care total brand.
