Invisible Orthodontics

What is Invisible Orthodontics?

Invisible Orthodontics (Smartee) is a modern orthodontic treatment that uses a series of clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth and correct bite problems gradually and discreetly. These customized aligners are designed using advanced 3D imaging technology, allowing patients to achieve their desired tooth alignment without the need for traditional braces.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is invisible orthodontics?

Aligners are clear plastic sleeves that fit over the teeth to gradually move them to the desired position. They are an alternative to traditional braces.

How long does invisible orthodontic treatment last?

Although each patient has a personalized Treatment Plan and each case is unique, in general, invisible orthodontic treatments usually last between 12 and 24 months (on average 18 months). At Tropicana Medical Center, your orthodontist will follow up on the entire treatment and adjust it to your needs.

Does invisible orthodontic treatment hurt?

It is possible that the first few days, at each change of aligners you may feel some pain in your teeth. This indicates that the teeth are moving. This pain should disappear in one or two days. If the pain does not go away, consult your orthodontist.

Does invisible orthodontic treatment affect the way I speak?

The first time you wear the clear aligners you may feel your speech change, but that lisp will last only a few days, as your mouth and tongue get used to the invisible braces quickly.

How long should I wear clear aligners during the day?

Ideally, you should wear your clear aligners from 20 to 22 hours a day, and only remove them to eat and maintain your daily dental hygiene.

How often do I have to change my aligners?

Your orthodontist will tell you how often to change your clear aligners. It is usual to change the clear aligners every one to two weeks. Remember that each treatment is personalized and it is the orthodontist who should guide you.

Can I smoke if I wear clear aligners?

Our recommendation is not to smoke if you wear invisible braces. Cigarette smoke can stain and damage the aligners, which will make them appear less clear. Cigarette smoke can also damage teeth and gums, which can affect the success of orthodontic treatment.
