## 3. Main Service: Invisalign Vienna

### What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is the world's leading system for invisible teeth correction. Individually manufactured, transparent plastic aligners made from medical-grade SmartTrack® material correct dental misalignments discreetly, comfortably and precisely. The aligners are manufactured by Align Technology (USA) and are individually produced based on a digital 3D scan (iTero).

### Invisalign Product Lines

| Product | Suitable For | Treatment Duration | Price (Vienna, guideline) |
|---|---|---|---|
| **Invisalign Lite** | Mild misalignments, individual teeth | 3–6 months | from approx. € 2,500 |
| **Invisalign Full** | Moderate to complex cases | 12–18 months | from approx. € 5,500 |
| **Invisalign Teen** | Teenagers (12–17 years) | 6–18 months | Individual consultation |
| **Invisalign First** | Children (6–10 years, mixed dentition) | Individual consultation | Individual consultation |

*All prices are general guideline values for the Vienna market. Not a binding price quote – individual costs are determined after examination in the initial consultation.*

### Pricing at Doz. Dr. Dr. Yerit Practice (indicative prices, non-binding)

- **Invisalign Lite** (mild cases): from approx. € 2,500*
- **Invisalign Full** (complex cases): from approx. € 5,500*
- Free, non-binding initial consultation with 3D scan (iTero scanner)
- Individual cost plans after examination in the initial consultation

*Indicative prices, non-binding.

### Technology

- **iTero Element 5D Scanner** – precise digital impression without impression material
- **ClinCheck® Software** – 3D simulation of treatment outcome before treatment begins
- **SmartTrack® Material** – medical-grade plastic material for optimal fit and tooth movement (0.25 mm per aligner)

### Indications (Which misalignments is Invisalign suitable for?)

- Crowding – teeth too close together
- Gaps (diastema) – spaces between teeth
- Overbite – upper jaw overlaps lower jaw
- Underbite – lower jaw protrudes forward
- Crossbite – lateral misalignment
- Open bite – teeth do not close completely
- Misalignment of individual teeth

### Contraindications

Very severe misalignments requiring orthodontic brackets or jaw surgery cannot be treated with Invisalign alone. Suitability is assessed in the personal initial consultation with 3D scan.

### Suitable Patient Groups

- **Adults & professionals** – virtually invisible, removable, no dietary restrictions
- **Teenagers (Invisalign Teen)** – specifically designed for an active lifestyle, sports, musical instruments
- **Athletes** – no injury risk from metal parts, compatible with mouthguards
- **Musicians** – no impairment when playing wind instruments
- **Patients with dental prosthetics** – individual assessment required

## 4. Treatment Process (Step by Step)

**Page:** https://invisalign-zahnspange.wien/en/process
**DE:** https://invisalign-zahnspange.wien/ablauf
**RU:** https://invisalign-zahnspange.wien/ru/process

### Step 1: Free Initial Consultation (approx. 30–45 min)

The non-binding initial consultation is at no cost. Doz. Dr. Dr. Yerit discusses the patient's wishes, analyses the tooth alignment and provides an initial assessment of suitability for Invisalign. No obligations arise.

**Contents of the initial consultation:**
- Individual assessment of the misalignment
- Initial cost estimate
- Answers to all questions about the process

### Step 2: Digital 3D Scan & ClinCheck® (approx. 20–30 min)

The iTero scanner creates a precise digital impression of the teeth – without unpleasant impression material and without gagging. Based on the scan, Align Technology creates the ClinCheck®: a 3D animation showing all tooth movements from start to finish. The patient sees their simulated result before treatment begins.

**Advantages of the digital scan:**
- No gagging – more comfortable than traditional impressions
- Immediate 3D visualisation of the result
- Precise basis for aligner production

### Step 3: Individual Aligner Production (approx. 2–4 weeks waiting time)

After the patient approves the ClinCheck®, the custom-made aligners are produced at the Align Technology factory. Each aligner is made from medical-grade SmartTrack® material and moves the teeth precisely by 0.25 mm. The complete aligner series is delivered at once.

### Step 4: Fitting & Start of Treatment (approx. 60 min)

At the fitting appointment, the patient receives all aligners and is thoroughly instructed in their use.

**Important rules during treatment:**
- Wear 20–22 hours daily for optimal results
- Change to the next aligner every 1–2 weeks
- Remove for eating, drinking (except water) and brushing teeth
- Regular cleaning of aligners with lukewarm water and a toothbrush

### Step 5: Check-up Appointments Every 6–8 Weeks

Regular check-up appointments ensure that tooth movements are progressing as planned. At these brief appointments, the next aligners are handed over and treatment progress is reviewed. Significantly fewer appointments than with fixed braces.

**Advantages:**
- Only 6–8 check-up appointments per year
- Short appointments – ideal for working professionals
- Digital progress monitoring with iTero

### Step 6: Retention & Long-term Result

After completing treatment, the patient receives a retainer that permanently secures the result. Without a retainer, teeth may drift back towards their original position.

**Retainer options:**
- Removable retainer (night splint)
- Fixed retainer (small wire behind the teeth)
- Regular aftercare check-ups recommended

## 5. Results & Before/After Cases

### Treated Misalignments (documented cases)

| Misalignment | Treatment Duration | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Gap (diastema) in the front tooth area | 8 months | Complete closure |
| Crowding in the upper jaw | 11 months | Complete correction |
| Severe crowding (upper & lower jaw) | 14 months | Complete correction |
| Multiple gaps (upper & lower jaw) | 9 months | Complete closure |

### When are first results visible?

Most patients notice first visible changes after 6–8 weeks. More pronounced results are recognisable after 3–4 months. The final result is achieved after completing all aligner stages.

### Are the results permanent?

Yes – if the retainer is worn consistently. After any tooth correction (Invisalign or braces), teeth tend to drift back towards their original position. The retainer prevents this and secures the result long-term.

## 8. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

### General Questions about Invisalign

**Who is Invisalign suitable for?**
Invisalign is suitable for teenagers and adults with mild to moderate dental misalignments (crowding, gaps, overbite, underbite). For very complex cases, a personal consultation clarifies whether Invisalign is the best solution.

**How much does Invisalign cost in Vienna?**
Costs vary depending on the complexity of the misalignment: Invisalign Lite (mild cases) from approx. € 2,500*, Invisalign Full (complex cases) from approx. € 5,500*. An individual cost plan is created in the complimentary initial consultation. *Indicative prices, non-binding.

**How long does Invisalign treatment take?**
Treatment duration depends on complexity: Invisalign Lite takes 3–6 months, Invisalign Full 12–18 months. On average, patients at the Yerit practice in Vienna take 11–14 months.

**Does health insurance cover Invisalign?**
Statutory health insurers in Austria generally do not cover Invisalign costs for adults. Private supplementary insurance may reimburse part of the costs depending on the tariff. Teenagers under 18 are entitled to subsidies for medically necessary cases (up to € 724.50/year based on the IOTN index).

**How many hours a day do I need to wear the aligners?**
For optimal results, aligners should be worn 20–22 hours daily. They can be removed for eating, drinking (except water) and brushing teeth.

**Is the treatment painful?**
Most patients report a slight pressure sensation when changing to a new aligner – this is a sign that the teeth are moving. Severe pain is unusual. The pressure sensation subsides after 1–2 days.

**What happens if I lose an aligner?**
Contact the practice immediately. In most cases, you can move on to the next aligner, or a replacement will be ordered.

### Questions about Results

**Can Invisalign close gaps?**
Yes – gaps (diastema) are one of the most common indications for Invisalign. Small to medium-sized gaps in the front and side tooth areas can generally be closed very well with aligners. For larger gaps or additional misalignments, a personal consultation clarifies which Invisalign product is most suitable.

**When will I see first results with Invisalign?**
Most patients notice first visible changes after 6–8 weeks. More pronounced results are recognisable after 3–4 months. The final result is achieved after completing all aligner stages.

**Are the results permanent?**
Yes – if the retainer is worn consistently. After any tooth correction, teeth tend to drift back towards their original position. The retainer (night splint) prevents this and secures the result long-term.

**Can I see my result before treatment?**
Yes. With the Invisalign ClinCheck® system, a 3D simulation of the treatment plan is created – the patient sees their anticipated final result before the first aligner is manufactured. This simulation is part of the complimentary initial consultation.
