Transparent dental splints: Invisalign treatment in Munich
An increasing number of teenagers and adults would like to correct misaligned teeth with the help of braces. After all, straight teeth and an even smile are important factors in external perception. While conventional fixed braces used to be the only option for straightening teeth, Invisalign treatment today enables effective and discreet treatment. The transparent splints are hardly noticeable when worn and can be used flexibly in everyday life. The practice of Dr. Jürgen Pink | Kollegen has compiled the following information for you on how the treatment works, what advantages it brings with it, and how treatment with Invisalign proceeds.
How does the procedure with Invisalign work?
For a perfect smile, the misaligned teeth must be gently pushed to the desired result by specific, step-by-step movements using a splint. To do this, each individual splint exerts slight pressure on the teeth, moving them into the desired position. The aligner is then changed so that the next step of movement can be performed. In order to achieve the desired result as quickly as possible, a wearing time of 22 hours a day should be maintained, with the next splint being inserted after every 7 – 14 days. Depending on the complexity of the misalignment and the necessary movements of the teeth resulting from it, additional attachments can be placed on the teeth for support, if necessary. These are small, tooth-colored brackets that are attached to the surface of the teeth. Optimal color selection of the attachments and optimal fit of the aligners enable maximum tooth correction with minimal visibility.

Individual consultation
The first step of an Invisalign treatment always includes a detailed consultation, in which the desired results are discussed and an individual treatment plan is created. Using Digital Smile Design, the results can be visualized after the treatment so that patients can see the final result before the treatment even starts.
Making dental impressions without molding compound
After the consultation, dental impressions are made of the teeth. Thanks to the iTero scanner, there is no need to use conventional molding compounds or impression trays for this purpose. The scanner allows high-resolution three-dimensional images of the jaw structure to be created. With a recording rate of 6000 images per second, the scanner is also significantly more precise than a conventional impression.
Achieve desired result after only 4 months
After the impressions have been taken and an individual treatment plan has been drawn up, the number of aligners is determined. Each aligner causes a specific movement of the teeth and prepares the teeth for the subsequent aligner. The individual aligners are then fabricated.
Depending on the complexity of the treatment, Invisalign treatment takes about 4 – 18 months. In the case of minor position corrections, the treatment result is already achieved after 4 months.
