With the coronavirus crisis, many people prefer to visit doctors' surgeries less often and to make as many consultations online and from home as possible. This also affects orthodontic treatment. In the case of Invisalign or invisible orthodontics, how does it affect us?

In our dental clinic in Sabadell we are dentists and orthodontists. We are specialists in the dental health of your children and the whole family. And when you become a specialist in 'the whole family', does not only mean that he is an expert in adult orthodontics. and orthodontics for children, also in their well-being.

That's why, so that you don't have to come to see us as often, we have set up an online consultation service. That way, by sending us photos of the case you want us to review, we can make a first approximation, asking you to come and see us if it is something urgent. The differences between Invisalign and traditional bracket orthodontics also help to reduce the number of visits to the dentist.

Of course, this does not mean that traditional braces are worse than Invisalign, they still have advantages; for example, they are cheaper, but Invisalign, being made up of several sets of interchangeable sleeves, does not require you to come to the dentist to check and adjust them as much. Of course, you still have to have regular check-ups, but not that often.

Can Invisalign treatment be carried out online and from home?

It is not possible to do an Invisalign 100% treatment from home and online. The reason is that we need you to come and see us, carry out a study of your teeth or those of your children, design the best treatment for you, create the sleeves and establish guidelines for use. After this, we need to review the evolution and carry out refinement work.

That is to say, the covers are designed and worn, but then you have to check that the mouth is responding well, that there are no knots, that the attachments are in the correct position... However, the treatment does take longer at home than with conventional braces.

In addition, there is something interesting about Invisalign in relation to braces. Invisible orthodontics, being a cover that runs around the whole mouth, applies a softer and more constant pressure, so the results are developed with much less discomfort. In addition, as they are removable, cleaning is also much easier, so you don't have to be so careful with your hygiene. This, which was already great before, becomes even more interesting with the coronavirus.

 

Hygiene is much easier with Invisalign than with braces.

If what worries you, and why you want to have more contact with your orthodontist online and from home, is to avoid possible contagions, invisible orthodontics will allow you to clean your teeth beforehand. If you go to a restaurant, and you have to clean your teeth, the process with braces is much more arduous, so you will spend more time in the services.

With Invisalign, however, you only have to clean your teeth and then put them back in, no more. As you can see, there are many advantages, starting with our online contact system. So, if you live in Sabadell, start with a consultation for Invisalign or another orthodontic system from home. We will then move forward with the protocol.

You can continue to count on our online dental assistance service whenever you need it, and we will continue to be at your side in our dental clinic in the centre of Sabadell. However, there are two things that need to be clarified about people looking for Invisalign fully online and from home.

Why you need to see an orthodontist to use Invisalign

  • Sometimes prior interventions are necessary depending on the malocclusion.
  • There is a refinement process that needs the attention of the orthodontist.
  • Invisalign is not a magic object, it is a tool that only works in the hands of the orthodontist.

For all these reasons, although invisible orthodontics allows for a more comfortable treatment, more online and more at home, visit us and we will be happy to help you. make an appointment with our dentists to start your treatment in the most effective way.
