Our Approach to Orthodontic Treatment -Invisalign-
Our orthodontic treatment goes beyond merely aligning teeth. It aims to achieve true health and beauty by ensuring proper occlusion (bite) adjustment.
Everything is for "you."
To achieve a healthy alignment that doesn't require retreatment.
Our Invisalign Treatment
Achieving not just aesthetic beauty but true health by aligning the bite as well
Have you ever heard something like this? "My teeth look great after orthodontic treatment, but I can't chew properly."
This is a common misconception, thinking that orthodontic treatment is successful just because the teeth look straight. However, true success in orthodontics is not just about straight teeth; the most important aspect is ensuring the bite is properly aligned.
At our clinic, we don't just straighten teeth; we ensure that the upper and lower teeth come together correctly. This is because achieving a proper bite is the most important aspect. By doing so, we create the most stable condition for the muscles, jaw joints, nerves, and teeth.
To ensure long-term stability for 10 or 20 years, it is essential to stabilize these four elements. It is said that teeth can deteriorate within 10 years if they are in a poor environment. Without this knowledge and technique, proceeding with Invisalign treatment can result in a high likelihood of developing issues somewhere. Cases of post-Invisalign complications are likely due to the instability of one or more of these elements.
Patients can check their own bite alignment with the following methods: 1. Bite on thin paper. → In cases where the paper cannot be bitten through or slips out. 2. Severe headaches or shoulder pain after (or even before) orthodontic treatment.。 3. Poor or worsening posture. 4. Misaligned or shifted jaw and head positions.
Our precise Invisalign treatment is characterized by achieving true health and beauty through orthodontic care that aligns the correct positions of the temporomandibular joint and teeth, ensuring complete correction and creating a perfect bite.
In general orthodontics, treatment is often performed by orthodontists specializing in this field. However, in our orthodontic practice, we have comprehensive dental practitioners who can treat a wide range of conditions including implant therapy, periodontal disease treatment, and restorative procedures (tooth shaping/finishing adjustments). They approach treatment holistically, utilizing precise diagnostic data to freely design the position and shape of teeth. Unlike traditional wire braces, our approach emphasizes "precision and speed" in treatment.
In addition, conventional Invisalign utilizes X-rays and digital scanners to construct an optimal bite for patients through 3D computer images. Based on this, customized aligners (orthodontic appliances) in the form of mouthpieces are used for orthodontic treatment. Unlike traditional braces that fix wires and brackets to teeth, these aligners are nearly invisible, making them less noticeable. Patients can easily remove them for activities like brushing, significantly easing maintenance and management.
Treatment Cost
The treatment cost varies depending on the treatment duration and case, but it is 825,000 yen (including tax), with a monthly maintenance fee of 5,500 yen (including tax).
At our clinic, we not only provide orthodontic management but also ensure proper occlusal management during Invisalign treatment. We will plan the treatment strategy and provide an estimate based on your preferences (ideal outcomes, treatment duration, costs, etc.). Please feel free to consult with your attending dentist if you have any questions.
