Orthodontic treatments for teeth alignment

Today, orthodontic treatments aimed at correcting dental misalignment are highly sought after. Among modern options, clear, discreet, and less painful aligners are attracting an increasing number of adults. Many believe that correcting dental misalignment means wearing uncomfortable, painful, and unaesthetic braces. However, there are devices that allow for a radiant smile without compromising one’s social and professional life. Beyond the aesthetic aspect, realigning your teeth brings many health benefits, reducing the risk of cavities, gum recession, or enamel wear. Treatments are also available for people with implants or crowns.

Clear Aligners: Comfort and Aesthetics

Clear aligners for dental alignment are virtually invisible. Custom-designed for both children and adults, they ensure optimal comfort and consistent alignment of the teeth. At Hymy Smile Clinic, these aligners are manufactured using a high-precision 3D scanner. The orthodontist creates a personalized treatment plan to reposition the teeth effectively. These aligners cause no significant pain or speech issues. They should be worn 20 to 22 hours a day and only removed for meals and brushing teeth. Regular visits to the orthodontist are necessary to renew the aligners.

Lingual and Vestibular Braces

Other options also appeal to adults, such as lingual (internal) braces with invisible attachments, bonded to the inner surface of the teeth. While their invisibility is an advantage, they may be less comfortable than Invisalign clear aligners. Vestibular (external) braces, with metal or ceramic (clear) attachments, are another alternative. They are fixed to the front surface of the teeth. The choice of treatment for adults is generally based on four criteria: comfort, aesthetics, effectiveness, and cost.

Cost of Orthodontic Appliances for Adults

The cost varies depending on the technique chosen. For traditional braces, prices start at 9,000 NIS for metal braces and 12,000 NIS for ceramic braces. Lingual orthodontics costs between 20,000 and 30,000 NIS. For Invisalign clear aligners at Hymy Smile Clinic, the cost ranges from 7,000 to 25,000 NIS depending on the complexity of the case.
