Invisible orthodontics in Terrassa
What is invisible orthodontics?
Invisible orthodontics involves the manufacture of a series of transparent aligners customised for each patient. These aligners are made of plastic, are very comfortable and practically imperceptible when worn. It is the most comfortable orthodontic system for the patient.
Following the orthodontist’s instructions, the patient receives new aligners approximately every two weeks in order to gradually modify the position of the teeth.
A new philosophy in orthodontic treatment: you won't stop smiling
Traditionally, orthodontics has been seen as a process that is as effective as it is unattractive. Considering the duration of treatment (on average about 18 months), metal braces were a barrier for people who did not want to wear metal on their teeth during that time.
If you would like to access invisible orthodontic treatment in Terrassa, our clinic has experts in this field.

Invisible orthodontics works just as effectively as any other professional system. After a diagnostic study of your case, we can advise you on the ideal orthodontic system for you.
These are some of the most common problems that we can solve with professional invisible orthodontic treatment:

How long does treatment take? Is it longer than conventional orthodontics?
The duration of invisible orthodontic treatment depends on the initial situation, your treatment goals and patient cooperation. The orthodontist will examine you in detail during the initial visit and estimate the duration of treatment. Normally, the duration of treatment with aligners is similar to the duration of conventional orthodontics with braces.
What are the advantages over conventional orthodontics?
request invisible orthodontics in Terrassa is aesthetics. Practically no one will be able to tell that you are wearing braces.
In addition, aligners are very comfortable, causing only slight discomfort each time they are changed. This discomfort subsides within a few hours and does not require medication.

In addition, the fact that you can remove your aligners to brush your teeth three times a day makes it much easier to maintain proper oral hygiene. For this reason, invisible braces are ideal for patients with periodontal problems.
How do we work with this treatment at Estoclinic?
Treatment planning is the first step in ensuring its effectiveness, and as experts in invisible orthodontics in Terrassa, we use the latest technology to achieve high success rates.
One of the main advantages offered by the synergy of the Itero intraoral scanner and invisible orthodontics is that, thanks to the ClinCheck 3D software, we can create a virtual representation of the ideal position of the patient’s teeth.
You will be able to see your future smile before starting treatment.
Before starting any orthodontic treatment, it is necessary to take measurements of the dental arches and the current position of the teeth. To do this, our dentists in Terrassa use an intraoral scanner, which eliminates the need for traditional impressions that are so uncomfortable for the patient. The incorporation of this technology in our clinic allows us to predict the outcome of orthodontic treatment planning.
Using ClinCheck software, we can virtually show the patient what the final result of the orthodontic treatment will be without having to start treatment.
In this way, the patient can see an estimate of the final result and actively participate in the desired change from the outset.

How should I care for my aligners?
Aligners should be worn as long as possible, ideally 22 hours a day. This means that they should only be removed for eating, to allow for proper chewing, and when brushing your teeth, to allow for proper oral hygiene.
Each time they are removed, they should be cleaned with a brush, water and soap. Do not worry if the aligners become slightly stained over time, as you will be getting a new set every two weeks!
