What is malocclusion?
Malocclusion is an incorrect ratio between the teeth, when the two dental arches are misaligned with each other. There might be different types of malocclusion: crowding (a lack of space for the teeth within the jaw), underbite (when your lower teeth and jaw protrude in front of the upper teeth), spacing (when there’s a gap between the teeth, so-called diastema), and more. You can read about different malocclusion types in “Treatable Cases”, and also check the successful treatment cases for various malocclusion types in our orthodontic blog.
The benefits of having straight teeth are much more than a confident smile. You will get healthier teeth and gums, therefore, with proper brushing and flossing, you are avoiding problems, such as tooth decay and gum diseases in the future. Straight teeth also affect the way you chew the food, therefore you have a better digestion. Properly aligned teeth can also eliminate the issues that can be caused by a wrong bite, speech problems or chewing perplexity, jaw troubles, and extensive wear on the tooth enamel.
As a matter of effectiveness, there is no considerable difference between the types of orthodontic braces, as they were all designed for the teeth straightening purpose. It’s only a difference of the treatment time, price and the condition of your teeth. To know more, you might be interested to see the comparative research of Aligners, and get more facts about Aligners from our patients.
During your treatment you will be supplied with a set of Aligners, depending on your particular case. Each Aligners will make 0.33mm adjustments to the positioning of your teeth as planned by your orthodontist. When Aligners are placed on the teeth, they gently shift gradually from their current position, day by day. You will wear each set of Elencia Aligners for 2 weeks before the next stage.
In brief, braces apply a pull force that gradually shift teeth into place, and Aligners use a push force to rotate your teeth. Each Aligners you will be wearing, makes a smooth, very mild teeth rotation, more preferable for adults, without any gum bleeding and pain, common for metal braces.
Elencia Aligners are made from multilayer bioforce material with a longer active force, facilitating effective teeth movement. Read more about Elencia Aligners’ material in the FAQ section to ensure confidence in the quality of our invisible braces.
Aligners treatment prices vary, depending on the case. We offer four packages: Adjust, Lite, Full and Unlimited packages. To find out how much teeth braces cost for you, fill the form and we will consult you about the average prices and the duration treatment.
The more you wear clear braces, the better the results. Our patients aim to wear Aligners for at least 20 hours a day, removing them only when eating and brushing.
Times vary depending on each case, but the average treatment time with clear aligners is 10–13 months. Once your orthodontic treatment is complete, you will need to wear a retainer at night for some time to help maintain your results.
