Which invisible braces are for you?

Picking the right invisible braces is a big decision, and it’s all about finding what fits your needs and treatment goals best. Let’s break down a few key factors that can help you make the most suitable choice:

1. Cost

Let’s be honest—cost matters. While some aligners might seem like a great deal upfront, make sure you’re getting all the support and features you need.

Look for options with clear, transparent pricing so you won’t get hit with unexpected costs down the line. Here’s Zenyum’s full cost breakdown.

2. Comfort

You’ll be wearing these aligners for most of the day, so comfort is key. Some aligners are made with materials that offer a snug, comfortable fit, making it easier to wear them for those long hours. Comfort can make or break your experience, so choose wisely!

3. Support and monitoring

Having someone in your corner during treatment is super important. Some brands offer just the basics, while others give you more hands-on support with regular check-ins. Whether you prefer remote monitoring or the option for in-person visits, go for the aligners that give you peace of mind with reliable customer support.

Think about what’s most important to you—whether it’s staying on budget, finishing treatment quickly, or just being comfortable and confident throughout the process. By considering these factors, you’ll be well on your way to finding the best fit for your smile journey.

Zenyum Invisible Braces: The clear way to straighter teeth!

Zenyum Invisible Braces

Zenyum Invisible Braces are a discreet, effective solution for achieving a straighter smile. Custom-made to fit your teeth, these clear aligners gradually shift your teeth into place, offering a convenient way to improve your smile without the hassle of traditional braces. 

Whether you’re dealing with minor or more complex alignment issues, Zenyum’s Invisible Braces blend seamlessly into your daily life.

How Zenyum Invisible Braces Align Your Teeth

Zenyum Invisible Braces work by applying gentle, consistent pressure to your teeth, moving them into the desired position over time. Each set of aligners is worn for about one to two weeks before moving on to the next set, which continues the process. 

This gradual adjustment helps to ensure that your teeth move safely and comfortably into alignment. With regular self-monitoring through the Zenyum app and occasional physical check-ins with your treating dentist, a straighter smile awaits you!

The Process for Zenyum Invisible Braces

Process for Zenyum Invisible Braces

1. Smile Check

Start with a free Smile Check to see if Zenyum Invisible Braces are right for you. It’s a quick and easy way to get an initial assessment.

2. Dental consultation

If you’re a good fit, we’ll schedule a dental appointment for you with one of our partner clinics. During this visit, you’ll receive a 3D scan, X-ray scans, and a detailed assessment of your teeth.

3. Customised treatment plan

The 3D scan and X-rays will be used to design a customised treatment plan just for you. Both you and your treating dentist will have to review and approve this plan.

4. Aligner production and fitting

Once the plan is approved, we’ll send your aligners for production. You’ll head back to the clinic for the fitting and collection of your custom-made clear aligners.

5. Wearing your aligners

Wear each set of aligners for 10 days before switching to the next set. You can monitor your treatment progress and schedule follow-up appointments directly through the Zenyum app, as directed by your treating dentist.

6. Post-treatment appointment

During your final appointment, your dentist will evaluate the alignment of your teeth and determine if refinements are required. If you’re happy with your smile, you can move on to retainers and enjoy your newly aligned smile!
