Technology and discretion

What is Invisalign Orthodontics?

It's the aesthetic alternative to traditional braces. Instead of bonding metal to your teeth, we use a series of custom-made, transparent aligners (splints) made from a smart material (SmartTrack).

Each aligner is slightly different from the previous one and is digitally programmed to apply gentle forces that move your teeth millimeter by millimeter into the perfect position.

Ideal Candidates

Is Invisalign right for me?

There is a misconception that invisible orthodontics is only useful for minor cosmetic corrections. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Thanks to advances, today we can treat virtually the same malocclusions with aligners as with traditional braces, but with a much more pleasant experience.

Professional Adults
If your job requires public speaking or maintaining a polished image, this is the option for you. No one will notice you're getting your teeth done.
Patients with gum problems
Being removable, it allows for perfect hygiene (brushing and flossing), which is vital if you are prone to gingivitis or periodontitis.
Teens (Invisalign Teen)
For young people who want to avoid the "braces" complex and need to be able to eat everything without fear of breaking the appliance.
Relapses (Second Treatments)
Ideal if you wore braces when you were younger but your teeth have shifted again. It's the most discreet way to put them back in place.

Types of Invisalign

An Invisalign for every smile

Depending on the complexity of your bite, your age, and your aesthetic goals, Dr. Inmaculada Acosta will select the Invisalign clinical modality that guarantees the success of your treatment.

The ultimate option for adults and complex cases. It’s the most versatile and powerful treatment in the range. It’s designed to correct severe malocclusions, where we not only aim to align teeth, but also address functional bite problems (crossbite, open bite, overbite) and severe crowding.

  • How does it work? There is no limit to the number of aligners. It includes all the necessary phases to achieve aesthetic and functional perfection.

  • Ideal for: Patients who have never worn braces and need comprehensive correction of the entire mouth, including the back molars.

  • Average duration: Between 12 and 18 months (although it varies depending on the case).

Quick and purely aesthetic corrections. Designed for simple cases where the goal is to improve the smile in the “aesthetic front” (the six front teeth from canine to canine). It is the preferred option for correcting minor crowding, slight gaps (diastemas), or slightly rotated teeth.

  • The ideal patient: It is very common in adults who wore braces when they were young but, by not using retainers, some teeth have moved over the years (relapse).

  • Advantage: These are very short treatments (3 to 6 months) and have a lower cost as they require fewer aligners (up to 14 stages).

Smart orthodontics for teenagers. Adolescence is a time of change and constant activity. Invisalign Teen has the same capabilities as the adult treatment, but incorporates special features adapted to developing mouths:

  • Compliance indicators: The aligners have a small blue dot (Blue Dot) that fades with use. This allows parents and the doctor to know if the teenager is wearing the aligners for the required number of hours.

  • Eruption compensation: If the teenager still has permanent molars or canines to erupt, the aligner leaves the necessary space for them to erupt without problems.

  • Extra security: Includes free replacement aligners in case they lose one (something common at this age).

Trauma-free Interceptive Orthodontics. Previously, uncomfortable metal expanders were used to correct bone problems in children (narrow palate, small jaw). Invisalign First has revolutionized this.

  • Objective: This procedure is applied during “Phase 1” (mixed dentition, when both primary and permanent teeth are present). It allows for widening of the palate and guides jaw growth while aligning the erupting incisors.

  • Advantages: It is much more comfortable than traditional expansion appliances, does not affect speech, allows for perfect hygiene (it is removed for brushing) and avoids serious problems in adolescence, greatly simplifying future orthodontics.

Benefits of Invisalign

The orthodontics that fits your life

Generally, orthodontics is associated with discomfort, wounds and poor aesthetics. Invisalign breaks that stigma.

Invisible Aesthetics

Nadie sabrá que llevas aparato. Los alineadores son transparentes y mates, mimetizándose con tu esmalte. Sonríe en fotos y reuniones sin complejos.

No Emergencies

Forget about 'I dropped a bracket' or 'I get a wire pricked'. Clinic visits are shorter, spaced out, and only to check progress.

Total hygiene

As they are removable, you take them off to eat and brush. You will be able to floss normally, keeping your gums healthy and your breath fresh.

Predictability

Thanks to digital planning, we know exactly where each tooth needs to be at each stage. You are in visual control of the result.

Absolute Comfort

No wires or brackets to rub. The material is soft and trimmed to your gum line. Ideal for athletes and musicians.

No Restrictions

Eat whatever you want. Sandwiches, apples, nuts... When you remove your aligners to eat, there are no forbidden foods.

Frequently asked questions about Invisalign

Everything you need to know before you take the plunge

It's normal to have questions about daily life with aligners. Here we answer the most common questions from our patients in Vélez-Málaga so you can take the next step with confidence.

Acosta Cubero Dental Clinic Vélez Málaga

Yes. Technology has evolved so much that today we can treat almost any malocclusion (open bite, crossbite, crowding, etc.) with the same or greater effectiveness than with braces. The key lies in the digital treatment plan created by the dentist.

They are small composite reliefs (the color of your tooth) that we place on some teeth. They serve as “grip points” so that the aligner can force and rotate the tooth. They are very small and barely noticeable, but they are critical to the success of the movement.

You may notice a slight lisp when you pronounce the “s” for the first 2 days, as your tongue needs to get used to the new thickness. It is something totally transitory that disappears in 48 hours. Nobody will notice anything strange.

No. You must remove them to eat anything and to drink hot or sugary beverages (coffee or wine can stain them, and heat can warp them). You can only drink cold water with them in. This is a great advantage: it keeps your aligners clean and clear!

It depends on the complexity of your case. A “Lite” case can last 4 months, while a full case usually ranges from 12 to 18 months. The good thing is that, thanks to the scanner, you will know the estimated duration before you start.

Yes, always. Teeth have “memory” and tend to return to their original place for a lifetime. Al terminar, te colocaremos unos retenedores nocturnos (Vivera o fijos) para garantizar que tu sonrisa perfecta se mantenga inalterable para siempre.
