Clinical Indications for Invisible Aligners

Clinical Indications of Invisible Aligners for Clinical Use

Orthodontics is undergoing a revolution. With the advancement of digital technology, orthodontic treatments have become more discreet, comfortable and efficient — and invisible aligners are at the heart of this transformation. In this context, EVOAligner emerges: a national factory specialized in the production of personalized orthodontic aligners, developed exclusively for dentists.

1. Mild to Moderate Malocclusions

Clear aligners are indicated for the correction of malocclusions that do not require complex orthodontic movements. Cases with spaces (diastema), mild or moderate crowding, mild dental rotations and inclinations can be treated with high predictability.

2. Orthodontic Relapses

Patients who have previously undergone orthodontic treatment and have experienced partial relapse can benefit from aligners for minor adjustments, without needing to resort to fixed braces again.

3. Pre-Prosthetic or Aesthetic Alignment

Aligners are effective in situations where it is necessary to correctly position the teeth before prosthetic rehabilitation (such as crowns or veneers), ensuring a more predictable aesthetic and functional result.

4. Patients with High Aesthetic Demands

Individuals who value discreet treatment, such as communication professionals, artists or executives, have aligners as a virtually invisible, removable and more comfortable option than traditional braces.

5. Treatment of Anterior or Posterior Crossbites

Cases of dental crossbite (especially anterior uni or bilateral) of alveolar or dental origin can be successfully treated with aligners, as long as there is sufficient space and the ability for controlled movement.

6. Correction of Mild to Moderate Overbite and Overjet

Aligners can be effective in correcting overbite or overjet when these are mild to moderate and do not involve significant skeletal changes.

7. Dental Open Bite

Open bites of dental origin, particularly in the incisors, are among the common indications for aligners. The ability to precisely intrude or extrude teeth allows for more efficient control in certain cases.

8. Cases requiring greater oral hygiene

Patients with a history of controlled periodontal disease or difficulties with hygiene using fixed appliances can benefit from the removable nature of the aligners, which makes daily oral hygiene easier.

9. Cases in Terminal Growth or Young Adults

In young patients with stabilized craniomaxillofacial growth, aligners are an excellent alternative for functional and aesthetic tooth movements, with good treatment adherence.

Final Considerations

Although invisible aligners offer great advantages, careful case selection is crucial to the success of the treatment. Cases with severe skeletal alterations, the need for major root movements or complex anchorage may not be the most suitable.

Knowledge of the indications, combined with clinical experience and detailed digital planning, guarantees predictable, aesthetic and functional results for the dentist and the patient.
