Aligners for straightening teeth in Kyiv

Removable dental systems called aligners are widely used to solve aesthetic problems with teeth. Aligners for straightening teeth are made of transparent plastic, so they are practically invisible. For people with allergies to metals, aligners made of hypoallergenic materials are the right solution to the problem of uneven teeth.

The specialists of our dental clinic UADenta install aligners for teeth alignment in Kyiv quickly, qualitatively and at affordable prices.

Indications and contraindications for installing aligners

The main indications for installing aligners are:

• presence of wide interdental spaces;

• incorrect placement of teeth;

• pathologies of dental arches;

• cross bite;

• violation of the shape of the teeth;

• overcrowding of teeth;

• lack of place to install implants.

Installation of aligners is contraindicated if the patient has:

• tartar;

• periodontitis in an acute form;

• congenital anomalies of the jaw;

• damage to bone tissue of teeth;

• severe somatic diseases;

• jaw joint dysfunction;

• teeth that have not yet erupted.

If the contraindications are temporary, aligners are installed after treatment. To eliminate serious deformations, transparent polymer mouthguards are not used. 

Advantages of using aligners 

Eliners for aligning teeth with excellent treatment results are as comfortable as possible for patients. Removable structures made of transparent polymers have the following advantages:

• do not create a sensation of a foreign body in the mouth;

• preserve diction;

• do not reduce attractiveness;

• do not harm gum tissues and do not damage tooth enamel;

• do not contribute to the development of caries;

• easy to care for.

Eliners for aligning teeth do not prevent patients from eating their favorite foods and leading a normal lifestyle, they can be removed if necessary. Virtually invisible to other people, highly effective mouthguards do not interfere with communication. A mandatory requirement is a careful attitude to polymer constructions, because in order to achieve the result, mouthguards should be worn during the entire course of treatment.

Features of installing aligners in UADenta Kyiv

Aligners operate according to the principle of bracket systems – by means of pressure, the teeth are guided and fixed in the correct position. Depending on the nature of the tooth row defects, the orthodontist can prescribe aligners:

• permanent (course of treatment 1-2 years);

• temporary (night).

To obtain the effect, permanent aligners are worn 20-22 hours a day.

The process of straightening teeth using aligners in our UADenta clinic includes the following stages:

• During the initial visit, the orthodontist examines the teeth and sends the patient to X-ray. Based on the image, the doctor determines the feasibility of using the system.

• If there are no contraindications, the dentist makes a cast of the teeth and creates a 3D model of the system, which is sent to the manufacturer's laboratory. They make the system for about a week.

• After manufacturing the first system of aligners, the doctor installs it on the patient's teeth and instructs on the use of the cap.

Eliners for straightening teeth in Kyiv are made of hypoallergenic silicone or safe polyurethane.

Specialists of our UADenta clinic monitor the teeth alignment process, replacing the aligners if necessary. The number of caps and frequency of visits to change the design is determined by the orthodontist individually. The procedure of installing a cap in our clinic is absolutely painless.
