Invisalign Case
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.
CASE 10
Invisalign
BEFORE
AFTER
- 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.
