What’s behind Invisalign invisible braces?

The Invisalign system has already established itself successfully as a revolutionary treatment method from the USA that finally allows patients to have misaligned teeth corrected almost invisibly and comfortably. Transparent, wafer-thin plastic trays (aligners) gradually bring your teeth into the right shape, helping you to a perfect smile. Once in place, they are barely visible to others and can be taken out for eating and oral care. Normal dental and oral hygiene is therefore possible without restriction.

When is the ideal time for treatment?

Many adults suffer from misaligned teeth and jaws. More and more often, people express the wish to have misalignments corrected in adulthood. Orthodontic treatment with Invisalign can be started at any time – even if you left your teenage years behind decades ago.

How do invisible braces for adults in Vienna work?

With this innovative, state-of-the-art braces technology, you can see in advance what your teeth will look like once treatment is complete. At your very first consultation, we take a 3D scan of your teeth, which then forms the basis for making the custom-made, transparent trays (aligners). Based on the treatment plan we propose, the software calculates how the teeth will move from their starting position into the desired final position. The custom-made plastic aligners follow the individual stages of the treatment plan and are changed every two weeks.

Invisalign is an aesthetic and comfortable alternative, especially for busy working patients, as appointments at the practice are usually short and take place at longer intervals.

How often should the Invisalign aligners be worn?

The more often you wear the aligners, the better and faster you’ll see results. As the aligners are almost transparent, they can be worn practically all the time. You only need to take them out for eating and brushing your teeth.

How long does braces treatment in Vienna take?

The number of aligners, and therefore the length of treatment, varies according to the patient and the individual plan. Treatment takes between 9 and 24 months.

Overview of possible misalignments

The malocclusions listed below can occur on their own or in combination with one another. Invisalign treatment has proven clinically effective in treating malocclusions and can be used for simple to complicated tooth corrections.

Gaps between the teeth (spacing)

Missing teeth and gaps between the teeth often significantly affect not only appearance, but also the function of the teeth and the bite.

Possible consequences:

• Gum pockets
• Receding gums
• Teeth drifting
• functional problems (problems biting into food)

Crossbite

A crossbite means that one or more upper back teeth bite on the inside of the lower back teeth. A crossbite can occur on one side or on both sides.

Possible consequences:

• Gum disease
• Bone loss
• Tooth abrasion
• asymmetrical face
• Jaw joint (TMJ) problems

Open bite

With an open bite, the front teeth of the upper and lower jaw do not touch each other even when the teeth are closed together. An open bite can also occur at the sides. In extreme forms, only the very back molars touch when biting.

Possible consequences:

• Missing and/or painful biting and chewing function
• Jaw joint problems
• Wear of the teeth
• temporomandibular disorder (TMD)
• negative effects on speech
• visible change in the shape of the face due to an "elongation" of the lower jaw

Underbite (forward position of the lower jaw)

An underbite can impair the normal function of the incisors or molars.

Possible consequences:

• Tooth wear
• painful jaw and joint problems
• impaired facial aesthetics
