Invisalign in Dubai

The cost of Invisalign is determined by the complexity of the case, an easy case will require fewer aligners and adjustments and hence cost much less than a more complicated case. The charges also vary from region to region; charges of Invisalign in Dubai are fixed by Invisalign Middle east and may vary from charges in other countries.

Invisalign is a type of aligner system which helps to correct your smile without being visible, hence, also called Invisible Braces. When you look at these set of aligners you might wonder how something that looks so similar to your bleaching tray could actually move your teeth but these trays are made up of a special type of thermoplastic resin that exerts transient force on your teeth to align them.

It’s a pretty simple procedure wherein your orthodontist will take some special impressions, X rays and photographs and send them across to the Invisalign technicians along with the proposed treatment plan.

Here these impressions are scanned and a 3 dimensional model of your teeth and occlusion are created. Then based on the treatment plan sent across by your dentist, the technician digitally moves around these teeth to bring them to their desired position.

This gradual movement from start to finish is made into an animated film called a CLIN CHECK video. This is where you as a patient get involved in your treatment plan as your dentist will call you in to show you this video, and you can either choose to accept the plan or make changes to it.

Once we approve this treatment plan, Invisalign then starts manufacturing the aligners using CAD/ CAM technology. We receive your aligners in a couple of days and that’s when your treatment starts. You will need to wear each aligner for 2 weeks and then shift to the next one till the desired result has been achieved.

One of the main drawbacks of traditional orthodontic treatment is its visibility. Most adults have job constraints and social situations like weddings etc. which makes them reconsider undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment.

This is where Invisalign has a huge advantage because it promises to straighten your teeth without affecting your life. The clear plastic trays are hardly visible when compared to the metal train tracks. They do not affect your speech and are very comfortable to wear.

Invisalign are not fixed to your teeth and this is another bonus as you have no diet restrictions and it is also easy to keep your teeth clean.

Invisalign can be used on most adults and teenagers to align teeth. However there are certain cases which require more precise tooth control, for example closure of extraction space, impacted teeth, teeth with poor bone levels.

These situations demand more control over tooth movement which is difficult to achieve with a removable aligner. Such cases are best treated with fixed orthodontic appliance or a partial orthodontic appliance along with Invisalign.

Also, patient compliance is of upmost importance in achieving successful results, and if you think you are not going to be responsible with wearing the aligners then we recommend you go in for fixed Lingual Braces instead.

Your first appointment is a standard consultation, where the orthodontist will see your case and help you to understand what your concerns are. Also in this appointment we will take your diagnostic records like X rays, study models and photographs.

After studying these records a treatment plan is made which is best suited for you. If you are a suitable candidate for Invisalign, the next appointment will be scheduled, where the orthodontist will take the final impressions and bite registrations which are then sent to Invisalign.

Once the final impressions have been sent, it takes approximately 7-10 days to get your ClinCheck video and once this has been approved, another 7-15 days to receive the aligners.

Invisalign patients are required to make a visit to an Orthodontist once in every 6-weeks. During this routine follow-up, they will check for the progress of your teeth alignment, and make any corrective adjustments if deemed necessary.

Invisalign Aligners are worn for a minimum of 22 hours for 2 weeks before shifting to the next aligner. You do not wear the aligners while eating or drinking anything colored, besides that you wear them all the time.

Invisalign is the most comfortable way to align your teeth as there are no metal brackets or wires involved. They do not affect your speech and are very easy to put on and remove.

Teeth have memory and they tend to go back to their original position, hence it is important to retain them in place after any form of orthodontic treatment.

Invisalign provides you with 3 sets of removable Vivera retainers which need to be worn at night. Along with this we also give you a set of fixed retainers for both arches.

Yes you can. We can always remove your existing braces and start off as a new case of Invisalign.

The good part is we put a tooth-colored coating on your aligner to cover up the missing tooth space so there are no visible gaps during your treatment.

Invisalign can be done by any specialist orthodontist who is a Certified Invisalign Provider. Like any conventional orthodontic treatment, the most important part of getting Invisalign is proper diagnosis and treatment planning. Even though the aligners are manufactured in a lab by a technician the instructions and treatment plan are given by the treating orthodonitst. Thankfully Dr. Michael’s Orthodontic Clinic is a Certified Invisalign Center in Dubai.
