Abstract
Invisalign is an innovative and aesthetic solution for correcting orthodontic problems. Using transparent aligners made of a high-quality medical plastic, this system allows patients to correct their teeth in a discreet and comfortable way. Treatment begins with an initial consultation, where the orthodontist assesses the patient’s dental condition and develops a personalized plan based on 3D scans. The aligners should be worn between 20 and 22 hours a day, and each set is changed every two weeks, ensuring a progressive alignment of the teeth. Among the advantages of Invisalign are aesthetics, comfort and flexibility, patients can remove the aligners for meals and oral hygiene, thus facilitating the maintenance of good dental hygiene. However, there are also drawbacks, such as the higher cost compared to traditional braces, the need for strict discipline, and limitations for complex orthodontic cases. It is especially recommended for teenagers and adults who have mild to moderate orthodontic problems, wanting an aesthetic and practical solution. In conclusion, Invisalign offers an effective and modern alternative for correcting teeth, combining advanced technology with increased comfort, making it a popular choice among patients looking to improve their smile.
