If you’ve been meaning to straighten your teeth, going with invisible braces can seem like a no-brainer decision.
For instance, invisible braces treatments by Zenyum is a suitable option for some of the following reasons:
- Less painful
- Discreet
- Budget-friendly (find out just how affordable they are in our pricing guide)
- More time-efficient
There’s just one catch though…
While invisible braces can now solve a host of teeth misalignment problems ranging from mild to complex, there are still some severe conditions that may require other orthodontic treatment options.
Unsure if your teeth concerns can be fixed with invisible braces like Zenyum?
Let’s find out if Zenyum Invisible Braces are suitable for treating different types of teeth conditions!
Severely rotated teeth
We’ve leveled up to deliver our new and improved Invisible Braces for
If you have a rotated tooth, it’s likely to be highly visible–especially if it’s one of your incisors, the flat teeth at the front of your mouth.
There are several reasons why your teeth are rotated including:
- Trauma to the tooth during the developmental years
- Overcrowding
- Supernumerary (extra) teeth
And if you’re concerned that Zenyum can’t correct severely rotated teeth, let’s share how we can help you! As part of your Smile Journey, a customised treatment plan will be designed for your smile to guide those teeth into their correct positions.
Large tooth gaps
Gap teeth, or teeth spacing, refers to when you have large spaces in between your teeth.
Gap teeth are usually the result of a discrepancy between your jaw and teeth size–either your jaw is too large and your teeth too small, or a combination of the two.
Nonetheless, there are other causes of teeth spacing as well:
- Losing a tooth
- Having been born without a tooth
While most clear aligners are perfect for closing small gaps in the teeth, the same can’t be said for large tooth spacings.
These large gaps are typically the result of losing a back tooth, missing multiple teeth, or a congenitally missing tooth.
Although large gaps can be alarming, fret not, because Zenyum Invisible Braces treatment can help with closing those gaps.
For severe cases, ZenyumClear™ Plus works by applying gradual pressure over time to bridge the gap between your teeth and help you get a beautiful smile, with treatment lasting up to 10 months. However, for the treatment to work, we’re counting on you to wear your aligners consistently so you can see the results you want!
Severely crowded teeth
When you don’t have enough room (i.e. ‘real estate’) in your jaw for your teeth to fit properly, your teeth can overlap, bunch up, and twist–sometimes getting pushed to the front or back. The common signs of overcrowding include:
- Front tooth or teeth sitting high and pointed outwards
- Overlapped front teeth in the lower jaw
Lack of orthodontic care, and even genetics (thanks, Mom and Dad!) can all contribute to overcrowding.
Though invisible braces doesn’t exert as much force as compared to conventional metal braces, it still serves the purpose by making enough space for your teeth to align in place.
Also, in cases of severe overcrowding, teeth extraction may be necessary to create space in your jaw.
So what can we do about severely crowded teeth? Leave it to Zenyum! After taking a Free Smile Assessment, we’ll let you know how we can correct the alignment of your teeth with the creation of a customised treatment plan.
Severe deep overbites
An overbite refers to the vertical overlap between your upper and lower front teeth when you’re biting down.
Most people have at least a little overbite, which is approximately 30% to 50% of the height of the lower teeth. Anything over that, however, is considered a deep bite.
Clear aligners can make small adjustments to your teeth over time to improve alignment and spacing. Not only does it resolve the bite problem but it helps achieve a clear and confident smile. Our invisible braces treatment for more complex cases, ZenyumClear™ Plus, works with attachments and extractions if necessary to treat your smile.
Open Bites
If your lower and upper front teeth do not touch each other when you close your mouth, you have an open bite. Because an open bite may be caused by inherited skeletal problems, the same treatment options apply with skeletal malocclusions (i.e. not clear aligners).
The gold-standard treatment typically involves the combined approach of orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances and orthognathic surgery.
