the dental splint<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>A dental aligner is a removable appliance that looks like a mouth guard. Its thickness does not exceed one millimeter.<\/p>\n\n<p>Prescribed by the orthodontist, it is made of a <strong>transparent resin<\/strong> that has been extensively researched to ensure that it does not present any health risks. As a precautionary measure, we strongly advise against buying aligners from anyone other than a dentist or orthodontist.<\/p>\n\n<p>The dental tray allows you to align your teeth, move them forward or backward, tighten them or spread them. To speed up the treatment, <strong>they can be worn all the time<\/strong>, except while you are eating.<\/p>\n\n<p>The trays can also solve malocclusion problems, which can be painful and have a bad influence on eating, causing digestive system disorders.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-medium\"><img width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/nutrident.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Invis-femme-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"orthodontic dental splint\" class=\"wp-image-10938\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nutrident.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Invis-femme-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nutrident.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Invis-femme-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nutrident.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Invis-femme-254x169.jpg 254w, https:\/\/nutrident.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Invis-femme.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption>The transparent gutters are comfortable and discreet!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n<p>Since the mouthpiece does not contain any metal, you do not risk injury as is the case with braces. Made of semi-rigid materials, they constrain the position of your teeth, but much less violently than braces and<strong> are therefore much more comfortable<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p>As a result, the treatment usually takes a little longer, as it has less grip on the teeth and therefore moves them more slowly. The advantage is that it is less painful, although you may feel some tension.<\/p>\n\n<p>Being <strong>invisible<\/strong>, dental aligners are much less painful to wear. The braces can be spotted from far away because of the almost black horizontal line that crosses your smile. The gutters are made of an invisible material that is barely noticeable unless you are really close.<\/p>\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Oral_hygiene_with_orthodontic_aligners\"><\/span>Oral hygiene with orthodontic aligners<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>You wear your trays at all times, except during meals. This <strong>makes brushing your teeth easier<\/strong> because you remove them, unlike other devices where food debris gets stuck.<\/p>\n\n<p>Be sure to brush your teeth after eating before putting them back in. Otherwise, the <a href=\"https:\/\/nutrident.fr\/en\/scale-and-polish\/\">plaque<\/a> gets trapped and settles more quickly.<\/p>\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_should_use_orthodontic_aligners\"><\/span>Who should use orthodontic aligners?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>The answer is simple: to<strong> everyone<\/strong>! Braces were originally prescribed only for children and adolescents. They have subsequently been prescribed to adults, particularly in the United States. However, it must be admitted that the rings are sometimes difficult to accept, even if they have made progress in terms of visibility with more discreet white rings.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-medium\"><img width=\"300\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/nutrident.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/invisalign_Home-300x281.jpg\" alt=\"DrSmile\" class=\"wp-image-10821\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nutrident.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/invisalign_Home-300x281.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nutrident.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/invisalign_Home-203x190.jpg 203w, https:\/\/nutrident.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/invisalign_Home.jpg 388w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption>Clear trays are perfect for adults.  <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n<p>Given the size of the market, it's not surprising that research has focused on a system that is virtually invisible, but which must be equally effective. This is how <a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/oral-health\/guide\/invisible-orthodontic-aligners#1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">transparent<\/a> gutters came into being.<\/p>\n\n<p>They are suitable for all ages, and if you were not treated as a child or teenager, there is <strong>still time to straighten your teeth<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p>Orthodontic aligners accommodate implants, crowns and other prostheses. Your dentist will determine if you are eligible for orthodontic aligners, but there are few cases where they are not suitable.<\/p>\n\n<p>Here is an instructional video on gutters:<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Goutti\u00e8res  : Mode d&#039;Emploi !\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/osA9tqot41w?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_long_does_orthodontic_treatment_with_aligners_last\"><\/span>How long does orthodontic treatment with aligners last?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>The duration of the treatment will <strong>depend on the extent of the problem and the age of the patient<\/strong>. A young jaw is more malleable and will take less time to grind. The average duration is between 6 months and 2 years.<\/p>\n\n<p>However, even if you have to undergo the longest treatment, you will have the satisfaction of seeing your smile improve day by day.<\/p>\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dental_gutter_how_does_it_work\"><\/span>Dental gutter: how does it work?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>At your first appointment, <strong>the orthodontist will establish a treatment plan<\/strong>. It determines the steps according to the objective to be reached and carries out a 3D computer simulation for this purpose. This allows us to establish a schedule with the change of the gutters.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-container-2 is-content-justification-center wp-block-buttons\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-background-color has-text-color has-background\" href=\"https:\/\/www.awin1.com\/cread.php?awinmid=25911&amp;awinaffid=849251&amp;clickref=nutrident&amp;ued=https%3A%2F%2Fdrsmile.fr%2Fbooking%2F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Make an appointment with a Dr Smile dentist<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<p>He makes a mold of your jaws, in order to have <strong>your custom-made aligners made<\/strong>.

It's up to you to check what conditions your complementary health insurance offers.<\/p>\n\n<p>The price depends of course on the length of your treatment and is usually a little more expensive than traditional metal braces. In general, it is necessary to count an average of 2000 \u20ac per semester.<\/p>\n\n<p>However, there are brands that offer more economical packages, with fixed rates based on the complexity of the case.
