1. Aesthetics: Invisalign aligners are almost invisible, which is particularly beneficial for adults who might be self-conscious about metal braces.
2. Comfort: As they don’t have metal parts, Invisalign aligners cause less irritation in the mouth.
3. Hygiene: Invisalign aligners are removable, simplifying daily dental cleaning and reducing the risk of gum disease and cavities.
4. Fewer Dietary Restrictions: You can eat without restrictions as the aligners can be removed during meals.
5. Predictable Treatment: Thanks to modern 3D imaging technology, the course of treatment can be precisely planned.
Are All Aligners the Same?
NO! This is one of the most crucial distinctions. Choosing the right aligner is essential!
What Makes an Aligner "Right"?
A "right" aligner is one that is prescribed by a dentist specialized in orthodontics. Unfortunately, the internet is now flooded with various aligner providers, and the number is growing rapidly! But did you know that only a few of these are actual braces? Many offer cosmetic aligners that are not true orthodontic devices. They are not braces. Some countries, like the USA and Austria in Europe, are actively cracking down on these business models. In 2023, the largest manufacturer of cosmetic aligners in the USA faced numerous lawsuits and eventually went bankrupt. Their customers believed they were being treated with Invisalign—but they weren't.
How Can I Tell the Difference?
True orthodontic aligners can only be offered by licensed dentists! But be cautious: some online providers legally rent space in dental offices, making it appear as though you are receiving legitimate braces. This practice is still legal in Germany, though Austria has already banned it. How is a patient supposed to know the difference?
What Should Guide Your Decision?
Don’t decide based on price alone, and don’t be swayed by low monthly payments! Braces are expensive because the treatment is lengthy. The technology behind a true aligner involves numerous patents and state-of-the-art technology—none of which comes cheap. Check the qualifications of the dentist offering the treatment.
How Long Do Genuine Aligner Treatments Take?
Many cosmetic aligner providers promise short treatment times of 10-16 weeks. This is medically unrealistic! Even minor misalignments typically cannot be corrected with true aligners in less than 30 weeks—and this is for mild cases. More complex cases can easily take up to two years.
Can Any Dentist Offer Invisalign?
NO! To offer Invisalign braces, a dentist must be qualified and clinically certified by Invisalign. This is why many dentists create their own aligners. But you can easily tell the difference.
Can I, as a Dentist, Make My Own Aligners?
Sure—you can, in a way. It saves a lot of money since you don't have to pay lab fees to Invisalign, and you can make a much higher profit. The only downside is that the specific tooth movements patented by Invisalign cannot be replicated by homemade aligners.
Invisalign costs dentists a lot of money—but it also provides both the dentist and, more importantly, the patient with a high-quality orthodontic treatment.
