CASE 11

Invisalign

In their 20s. Came in with the concern, “my teeth are badly crowded and I’m self-conscious about smiling in front of others” and “my toothbrush can’t reach, so I’m worried about cavities and tartar.” The teeth were crowded enough that other clinics had told the patient “wire braces are needed” or “extraction is needed,” but the patient strongly wanted treatment with a discreet appliance.|Before treatment|Hamille Tokyo Dental Office Case BEFORE

Treatment Details
Applied full-arch orthodontic treatment (Comprehensive) with the clear aligner appliance Invisalign. Carried out “lateral expansion,” widening the dental arch starting from the back teeth, to secure space for the teeth to line up without extraction. Moved the teeth, which overlapped in a complex pattern, one by one to untangle them, forming a functional and beautiful U-shaped arch.
Treatment Period / Sessions
Period: about 2 to 2 and a half years Number of visits: once every 1.5 to 2 months
Cost
Total ¥880,000 to ¥1,045,000 (tax included) (breakdown: Invisalign Comprehensive package) *This is a full-arch orthodontic plan, because it includes high-difficulty recovery treatment.
Risks & Side Effects
When moving teeth that overlap, gum recession or a “black triangle” (a gap between two teeth) may occur. Because the treatment period is long, keeping up motivation and strictly keeping to the wear time (at least 20 hours a day) are key to success.

CASE 10

Invisalign

In their 20s. Came in with the concern, “my front teeth are uneven” and “my teeth look crooked when I smile.” Wanted to avoid visible wire braces at work and in private life, so chose clear aligner orthodontics.|Before treatment|Hamille Tokyo Dental Office Case BEFORE

Treatment Details
Carried out full-arch orthodontic treatment using the clear, removable orthodontic appliance Invisalign. Based on a simulation from the iTero 3D scanner, the aligners were exchanged in stages to move the teeth gradually, straightening the dental arch without extraction. *A procedure that polishes the sides of the teeth very slightly (IPR) was used to create space for the teeth to line up.
Treatment Period / Sessions
Treatment period: about 1 year to 1.5 months Number of visits: once every 1.5 to 3 months (for follow-up and receiving new aligners)
Cost
Total ¥880,000 (tax included) (breakdown: Invisalign Standard package). *The cost of a retainer may be charged separately.
Risks & Side Effects
If you don't keep to a wear time of at least 20 hours a day, the teeth may not move as planned and the treatment period may become longer. Right after starting treatment, or when switching to a new aligner, you may feel a tightening pain or discomfort in the teeth. After treatment, wearing a retainer is essential to prevent the teeth moving back.
