Once braces are removed, we bond a lingual wire/s to the inside of the front teethto hold these teeth in place as we know your front teeth have a potential to relapse (go back to the way they were before treatment).
THE WIRE MUST STAY IN PLACE FOR AS LONG AS POSSIBLE FOR YOUR FRONT TEETH TO REMAIN STRAIGHT!
Once the wire/s are fitted, you may find that your tongue will play with the wire and that your speech is affected, however, these feelings will recede after a short period of time.
If you are fitted with a PFLR, you will need to:
Eat normally, use your teeth normally, do not tear at crunchy foods or crunch ice-cubes, etc. with your teeth.
Keep the wire/s clean by using a toothbrush and dentalfloss.
Attend regular dental reviews and have recommended treatments as required by your dentist (usually every 6 or 12 months).
As you can see from the 2 above pictures, the after picture still shows there is still mild crowding; therefore, refinement is necessary to fine tune and perform finishing movements to complete the treatment. Getting a refinement done on your Invisalign treatment can be simple. This means that Invisalign will make more trays for you, until you reach the look you want. Refinement records are the same as the records taken to begin your invisalign treatment. A set of accurate molds are taken and these are sent to invisalign for a new clincheck video to be set up. This video will determine the number of aligners and therefore the refinement treatment time. You wear the refinement aligners in exactly the same way as you did previously. Refinement can be done for 1 or both arches. Check out the second clincheck video in the above case, it starts from where the AFTER image of first clincheck ends. If any questions about the Invisalign Case refinement, please feel free to as Dr Pannu, Invisalign Elite provider at pannudds@yahoo.com
Here’s another patient who suffered from severe crowding with his teeth. See what he has to say and why he thinks you should get Invisalign if you are in the same situation too.
People who have done prior treatments like root canal or crown are good candidates for Invisalign / Braces as well. Initially, the patient was hesitant and was scared that the crown may come off during the treatment but as you can see, Invisalign worked really well for him. Check out his before and after pictures. He has seen great improvement with his condition in a matter of just 12 months of Invisalign treatment.
