When are clear aligner orthodontic overlays used?

Malocclusions are not uncommon among people. The numbers show that as many as 60% of Poles struggle with them. Over time and the development of orthodontics, there are more and more effective methods of treating bite problems. One of them are Clear Aligner orthodontic overlays. When are they used?

Unaware of the problem

Our teeth are often left without specialist intervention - especially when we are not in pain. We look for help when it is too late. And we're not only talking about growing cavities that require urgent treatment, but also about the above-mentioned malocclusions. It turns out that according to WHO data, after caries and periodontal diseases, it is the third most common oral problem among Poles. While malocclusion is not a painful condition, over time it may have unpleasant consequences. Few people know that headaches or neck pain are caused by incorrect bite position. If you want to take comprehensive care of your health, it is worth taking care of this area as well.

When is it worth using Clear Aligner overlays?

The most common way to treat bite problems is to install a fixed orthodontic appliance, and in the case of minor defects, a removable appliance. Meanwhile, modern techniques use other methods - one of them is Clear Aligner overlays. These are thin, invisible overlays that guarantee effective treatment in a short time. They are used primarily for patients who want, among others:

  • close the gaps between teeth,
  • correct a deep bite,
  • correct crossbite,
  • correct tooth crowding.

These and other malocclusions can be successfully treated using Clear Aligner overlays - they can cope with even complex malocclusions. Most often, adults come to the office, but children with mixed (baby and permanent) teeth can be successfully treated using splints.
