Are you interested in aligning your teeth but looking for a super aesthetic and pain-free option?

Welcome to the future of Orthodontics. Orthodontics without brackets.

What are Invisalign Aligners for Orthodontics in Costa Rica?

Also known as clear plastic trays, Invisalign aligners function similarly to traditional braces by adjusting teeth using advanced technology.

A specialized orthodontist will design the movement plan using sophisticated software, resulting in several sets of custom trays that gradually move your teeth to the desired position.

These trays are completely customized based on your bite and need to be changed every few days to achieve the desired dental position.

Advantages of Dental Aligner Treatment

Aligners offer the most aesthetic solution available on the market today.

If you’ve heard that orthodontics generates pain, that doesn’t happen here due to the absence of wires.

Being removable, there are no food restrictions as with traditional braces, which also facilitates better oral hygiene.

Another advantage is the potential to reduce treatment time by even half.

Additionally, fewer appointments are needed as they can be spaced further apart.

How Long Does Invisible Orthodontic Treatment Last in Costa Rica?

The duration depends on the complexity of each case, so an evaluation and intraoral scan are necessary, along with radiographs and photographs to establish the duration and treatment plan.

Why is it Important That Your Provider is a Specialist Orthodontist Knowledgeable in Invisalign Technology?

Orthodontic treatments require specialized studies of 2 to 3 years in addition to the 6 years of general dentistry studies.

Many important aspects must be considered to ensure the success of the treatment.

In addition, knowledge of the software, animation design, and case management will guarantee excellent results.

How Often are Appointments?

As the treatment progresses, if you are disciplined with the use of your clear aligners, appointments can be scheduled every 6 to 8 weeks for your convenience.

About the Use of Retainers After Treatment

Patients must use retainers at night for as long as they wish to maintain the results of their smile, similar to post-traditional braces treatment.

This is because teeth tend to shift over time due to various factors.

Care and Hygiene of Aligners in Costa Rica

Use an exclusive brush with liquid soap for this purpose.

Aligners should not be immersed in hot water like retainers as they can deform.

You can use cleaning tablets and soak them along with the aligners in a glass of water.

Specific instructions will be provided during your consultation.

Patients should brush their teeth before placing the aligners back in.

How Long Should You Wear Orthodontic Aligners?

Aligners should be worn between 20 to 22 hours a day.

This means you only remove them to brush your teeth and eat.

The specialist managing your treatment will advise whether to change each aligner every 8, 10, or 15 days, depending on your biological response, usage, and the complexity of dental movements.

What is the Cost of Aligner Treatment in Costa Rica?

The cost depends on the complexity and number of aligners required for your case.

It also depends on the brand of aligners you choose as we offer different options like Invisalign, Smartee, Clear Correct, and Click Aligners for different budgets.
