The clear alternative to braces, invisalign uses a series of custom-molded trays that gradually shift your teeth into proper alignment. The discreet, removable treatment eliminates food restrictions and stains and allows you to brush and floss as usual.

Invisalign has become the treatment of choice for many patients because it offers an unobtrusive, comfortable, and effective way to straighten teeth. However, some people may be better candidates for traditional braces. Here are some things to consider before choosing invisalign:

An Initial Consultation

The first step is a consultation with an orthodontist or dentist who has been trained in the Invisalign system. The doctor will take 3D digital scans of your teeth, and then use a computer to create a customized treatment plan that moves each tooth into place.

Once the treatment plan is determined, you’ll receive your first set of trays. They are made from Invisalign’s SmartTrack material, which is a transparent and flexible plastic that helps the aligners grip and apply gentle force to shift teeth. You’ll wear them about 20 to 22 hours a day, and switch to a new set every one to two weeks, as directed by your doctor.

The results you get will depend on the severity of your misalignment and your compliance with wearing your aligners, says Holli Carswell, a general and cosmetic dentist who has treated Invisalign patients in her private practice. Patients who don’t wear their trays as instructed can end up with longer and more costly treatments than they expected.

RMN Bucuresti uses magnetic fields to create detailed images of body tissues and organs. It provides information that is not possible with other diagnostic tests, such as X-rays or computed tomography (CT). MRI does not use ionizing radiation and requires little patient preparation. It also allows physicians to examine soft tissue structures without compressing them, which can be helpful in evaluating certain diseases and disorders. It can also detect very small tumors and other abnormalities and help physicians plan treatment or surgery. MRI can also be used to check for the presence of a contrast agent, which can enhance the visibility of some lesions and improve diagnosis.

Comparing Options: Choosing the Right MRI Service Provider in Bucharest

During the MRI examination, patients are positioned on a narrow table that slides into the scanner. A technologist may attach a belt to monitor the heartbeat and breathing, as well as insert an intravenous line into a vein in the arm or hand for administration of a contrast agent, if needed. Patients are given earplugs to reduce noise from the machine and are told to remain very still during the examination. Occasionally, the technician will ask the patient to hold their breath for short intervals during the scan. The procedure is painless, and most claustrophobic patients are able to complete the exam.

The MRI center at MedicalES Burghele 2 is equipped with the latest generation General Electric SIGNA Explorer 1.5T magnetic resonance system. This state-of-the-art device provides the highest image quality and clinical information available today. It is a safe and effective tool for diagnosing diseases, injuries, and other abnormalities of the bones, joints, and soft tissues of the body.
