We encounter many questions on this topic.
Every week, we encounter numerous questions from our patients during our treatments and consultations. We always emphasise that there are no unnecessary questions, no „silly” questions. We know that most questions stem from a lack of information, which can cause fear in the case of medical procedures or treatments.
This is a completely normal feeling, so no one should worry. Uncertainty is a natural reaction when encountering a new treatment method, and we are here precisely to dispel any doubts you may have.
We have compiled the most frequently asked questions from the last two weeks and will endeavour to answer new questions in writing on a weekly basis. Our goal is to help you make your decision about invisible orthodontics by providing transparent, honest and easy-to-understand information.
The treatment is painful.
Overall, invisible braces provide a much more comfortable and less painful experience. Most patients who have previously worn fixed appliances describe the difference as being much more comfortable to wear invisible braces. This is especially important for those who lead active lifestyles or talk a lot due to their occupation.
Gentle exertion
Invisible braces exert continuous but gentle pressure, unlike fixed appliances, which activate suddenly and strongly.
Minimal inconvenience
Most patients only feel mild pressure or tension for a day or two when the splints are replaced, rather than sharp pain.
Undamaged
There are no wires or sharp brackets that could damage the oral mucosa, making everyday comfort significantly greater.
Dental care - Should you brush your teeth after eating?
In this case, comfort is also on the side of the aligner, because it is easy to remove and keep your teeth clean. Anyone who has had fixed braces knows exactly how much trouble a single piece of food stuck in them can cause. With invisible braces, this problem is completely eliminated.
If we do not brush our teeth after eating, food debris and bacteria trapped under the gums can cause tooth decay much more quickly. If it is not possible to brush your teeth thoroughly, at least rinse with clean water, but it is always best to use a toothbrush and toothpaste.
- The rails can be removed before eating. The biggest advantage of invisible braces is that they can be easily removed when eating, allowing you to eat and drink naturally.
- Eat freely There are no restrictions: you can consume whatever you like without worrying about damaging the device.
- Thorough tooth brushing Be sure to brush your teeth after every meal! This is one of the most important rules for successful and healthy treatment.
- Replacement clean Only put the braces back on clean teeth to prevent tooth decay and gum inflammation.
I live abroad, is that a problem?
One of the biggest advantages of invisible orthodontics is that it requires significantly fewer personal check-ups than traditional fixed appliances. This is particularly beneficial for those who live abroad or travel frequently.
In most cases Every 12-14 weeks It is sufficient to attend for a brief check-up. This means that you only need to travel to Hungary 3-4 times a year during the course of treatment, which can easily be fitted in with holidays or vacations.
In addition, we continuously monitor the progress of treatment using modern digital tools, such as remote monitoring applications. You can send regular photos to your orthodontist, who can then check the progress of your treatment remotely and provide guidance if necessary.
Customised solution
We discuss this issue individually during each consultation to ensure that treatment runs smoothly despite the distance. We will develop a schedule that suits you.
Digital communication
We can monitor the development of teeth through an app. A simple device and photos taken with your own phone ensure continuous communication, so we are always at your service, wherever you are in the world.
How late am I?
Orthodontic treatment is not age-restricted. This is perhaps one of the most common misconceptions we encounter in practice. Many people think that orthodontic treatment is only for children and teenagers, but this is not true at all. Modern orthodontic treatment offers an excellent solution for adults as well, and more and more people are deciding to have their teeth straightened in adulthood.
The most important factor is not age, but the health of the teeth and gums. As long as the teeth are healthy and the bone structure is adequate, orthodontic treatment can be performed effectively at any age. Invisible orthodontic treatment is particularly popular among adults, as it offers a discreet, aesthetic solution that does not interfere with everyday life or professional activities.
Our patients range in age from 6 to over 60. All of them are satisfied with the results, and many regret not having started earlier. If you meet the health requirements, you are in the right place at the right time. The decisive step is to take the first step and sign up for a consultation.
It's never too late!

If the health conditions are right
What will happen to my treatment plan if I am not eligible?
Honest approach
The purpose of the consultation is precisely to assess suitability. During the consultation, before starting the treatment plan, the attending physician can see exactly whether the treatment makes sense.
That is why it is being prepared. CBCT X-ray and 3D scan about your teeth during the initial consultation to assess the options. The orthodontist will not recommend a treatment plan if there is no chance of successful completion.
This means that you can be sure that once your treatment plan is ready, your case is suitable for invisible orthodontics and the desired result can be achieved. Professional integrity and transparency guide us in every case.
How long should night splints be worn?
The night guard worn after orthodontic treatment is called a retention device. It is crucial for maintaining your smile! Many people do not understand why it is necessary to wear something after treatment, even though it is essential for preserving the results.
First 1-2 years
Wearing a retention splint every night is mandatory to stabilise the teeth.
After 2 years
The frequency of wearing can be gradually reduced, but regularity is important.
For life
It is recommended to wear the retainer at night a few times a week to ensure durability. This is not uncomfortable at all, as we will show you during the consultation.
Without retention, teeth tend to shift back to their original position. This is a natural biological process, as the tissues and ligaments surrounding the teeth „remember” their old position. With our complex treatment approach, we also help to identify the causes and address the underlying problem that led to the dental misalignment. This could be a swallowing disorder, bad habits or other factors. However, wearing a retention splint is a guarantee that the results achieved will be permanent. Think of it as protecting your investment: we have worked for years to achieve the perfect smile, so it is worth preserving!
The advantages of invisible orthodontics
Almost completely invisible
The clear, transparent aligners are almost invisible, so no one will notice that you are wearing braces. The perfect choice for those who want to straighten their teeth discreetly.
Removable device
It can be easily removed when eating, brushing your teeth or during important events. This is not only convenient, but also hygienic, as both the dentures and the device itself can be kept clean.
Maximum comfort
There are no sharp edges, wires or brackets that could damage the oral mucosa. The smooth surface fits comfortably against the teeth, causing minimal speech impairment.
Freedom of choice in dining
Simply remove the rails before eating, so you can enjoy anything without restrictions. You don't have to give up your favourite foods or sticky treats.
Less frequent checks
A personal examination every 12-14 weeks is sufficient, as opposed to the monthly activation of a traditional device. This is particularly beneficial for busy patients or those living abroad.
Excellent hygiene
As the device is removable, it is easier to maintain healthy teeth and gums. Dental floss and toothbrushes can be used as normal, reducing the risk of tooth decay and gum inflammation.
