Foils for straightening teeth
Do you want to straighten your teeth, but do not want metal dentures? Try foils for straightening teeth!
If you want to straighten your teeth, but don’t want to wear traditional metal dentures, we have the perfect solution for you! At Dr. Andjelkovic Dental Center , you can get a new, more beautiful smile with foils for straightening teeth, also known as transparent dentures or eyeliners. These films are made according to the specific needs of each patient and can be used to solve a variety of problems, from minor to more complex cases.
Advantages of foils for straightening teeth compared to classic metal dentures
Foils for straightening teeth have many advantages over classic metal appliances:
- Greater comfort : Teeth straightening foils can be removed when you eat or drink, making it a more practical solution for many patients.
- More aesthetically pleasing: Transparent foils are less conspicuous, making them a great choice for adults who want discreet teeth straightening.
- Easy maintenance of oral hygiene : It is easier to maintain hygiene, because you do not have to worry about food that can be kept between the metal brackets.
- Shorter treatment : Foil therapy takes much less time compared to traditional fixed appliances, usually 6-8 months, depending on the complexity of the case.
How do foils for straightening teeth work?
The foils should be worn for 20-22 hours a day, and each new foil is usually placed every 14 days. The teeth are gradually moved towards the desired position through a series of foils, which are tailored to the specific needs of your teeth.
The process of obtaining foils for straightening teeth
- First examination : At the initial examination, you need to bring an orthopantomographic (OPT) and profile image. During the first meeting, present your requirements and problems so that our team can develop the best treatment plan.
- Digital impressions : To take impressions, an oral scanner is used, which makes the process more comfortable, especially for those patients who have sensitivity or a tendency to gag reflex.
- 3D analysis: After that, a 3D analysis of your teeth is done and the pace of therapy is planned. Through computer software, you can track the movement of your teeth and see how each subsequent set of foils will affect the appearance of your smile.
What does wearing foils look like to straighten your teeth?
Wearing the foils is completely painless, although you may feel a slight pressure at first, which decreases over time as the teeth adjust to the new foil. Maintaining hygiene is simple – the foils are washed with a toothbrush and lukewarm water.
What if I lose my foil?
Don’t worry if you lose your aligner. The entire treatment plan is saved in our system, and each aligner has its own number. Our team can easily produce a new one without having to restart the process.
