Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry specializing in the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of irregularities of the teeth and malocclusion in both children and adults. Clear aligner therapy (CAT) is applied to eliminate problems caused by crooked, crowded and misaligned teeth. It is applied as part of orthodontic treatment procedures. Treatment is mostly done for the purpose of gaining a more aesthetic appearance. It is performed using porcelain, sapphire and transparent plastic materials. It is often preferred because of its aesthetic advantages.
How is Clear Aligner Therapy (CAT) Applied?
The dental specialist first takes x-rays before treatment. Existing oral problems, if any, are detected and their treatment is carried out. Then, the aligner is bonded to tooth and dental wire is fixed to the aligners. After the procedure, monthly routine checks are performed by an orthodontist.
When Is Clear Aligner Therapy (CAT) Required?
When the misalignment in the tooth alignment and jaw structure starts to disturb not only aesthetically but also functionally, clear aligner therapy is required.
Advantages
Clear aligners are popular because they can do a lot of the things traditional orthodontics can do, more discreetly and conveniently. Clear aligners are completed in the same time compared to metal aligners. They are more preferred by patients due to their transparent appearance. Additionally, it is a durable material as metal aligners. It does not show any allergic results.
Clear aligner therapy refers to a series of clear dental appliances formed to the shape of a patient’s teeth. Clear aligners gradually improve appearance and function. By applying gentle, consistent pressure to a patient’s teeth, they stimulate osteoclastic & osteoblastic activity.
Possible Disadvantages
Like other dental braces treatments, due care is required for eating and drinking. For this reason, crusty and very hard foods and acidic drinks should be avoided. As long as these are taken care of, it is unlikely to have any problem.
When Can You Eat and Drink After Therapy?
In Clear Aligner Therapy, patients can eat and drink stuffs at any time immediately after the therapy. The patient can return to work/social life after 1 day.
Post-Therapy Process
In Clear Aligner Therapy, no pain is felt during the procedure. After the treatment, very slight pain may be felt as the teeth start to move. The sensitivity period in the therapy is one week. As long as the physician’s recommendations are followed, a permanent improvement is achieved in the condition of the teeth.
