How long do I need to wear clear braces

Transparent braces as retainers are a common treatment method. When using transparent braces, the wearing time should reach more than 20 hours a day. It is a better correction method because this kind of transparent braces looks more comfortable and beautiful, and can be taken off when eating, which will not affect the daily work and life. It is more convenient to use. Let's take a look at this aspect.

How long should I wear clear braces?

The time for wearing invisible braces is required to be more than 20 hours a day, which can ensure the effect of teeth correction and shorten the time of formal teeth correction. In daily life, you can remove the invisible braces when eating, brushing your teeth, etc., but it is recommended to wear braces at other times. I hope everyone can strictly abide by it.

Overview

Transparent braces can raise the back teeth faster. Because of the transparent braces on the front teeth and premolars, there is no occlusal contact in the molar area, which causes the upper and lower molars to rise relatively. In about two months, the gap of about 1.5mm between the upper and lower molars can disappear. Severe overbite cases can be basically corrected in about half a year, and the speed is no slower than that of general fixed braces.

For molds of the same thickness, hard molds have better retention effects than soft molds, but trimming hard molds is more laborious. The author uses 1-1.5mm hard films to press transparent braces. If the thickness needs to be increased, soft films will be used to facilitate operation. At the same time, the patients will be more comfortable and it will be easier to put on and take off.

For adult cases with even or low angles, elongating the posterior teeth is an unstable process, and clear braces can increase muscle tension. Increased muscle tension promotes the vertical growth of the posterior teeth and the surrounding alveolar tissue, increases the height of the posterior teeth, and corrects the deep overbite.

Features

Clear braces are comfortable and beautiful. It can be removed when eating without affecting the patient's work, study and life. Patients are more likely to accept it than fixed orthotics, flat guides, inclined guides and other functional orthotics. It is an ideal choice for patients with simple deep overbite who need to raise the posterior teeth.

For patients with deep overbite and other malocclusions, it can also be used as a means of early correction. In addition, for children with deep overbite during the dentition replacement period, single-jaw soft transparent braces on the upper or lower front teeth are better and more comfortable than flat guides. For children with Angle II deep overbite, transparent braces break the original bite position and release the locking relationship, which is conducive to the forward adjustment of the mandibular position. It is simpler and easier to use than functional correctors and is more easily accepted by children.
