Your splints are coming soon, but you do not know how best to prepare for them?

Do not worry! Our speech therapist Ines Popek will show you some exercises that you can already do.

In this video you will not only find out how easy the SayCheeese aligner are to be cleaned, but how you can also pay attention to proper hygiene.

Many think that invisible braces can only correct slight and small misalignments – but that is not true!

SayCheeese braces treat different types of misalignments:

• Tooth gaps: missing teeth are not just an aesthetic problem. They can also pose a health risk by interfering with speaking and chewing.
• Protrusion: Protrusion results from a misaligned bite or jaw and is protruding, upper front teeth that tilt forward toward the lip.
• Underbite/overbite: In an overbite, the upper jaw protrudes and the upper incisors bite over the lower incisors. With an overbite it is exactly the opposite: the lower jaw protrudes.
• Cover bite/deep bite: Cover bite: The upper incisors tilt inwards. This can lead to injury to the gums. The opposite occurs with a deep bite: the incisors in the lower jaw are covered.
• Crossbite: Here the lateral teeth do not bite correctly – the lateral teeth in the upper jaw tilt inwards or the lateral teeth in the lower jaw tilt outwards. ´
• Crowding: crowding means that the teeth do not have room in the jaw and are therefore too close together.

SayCheeese is the right address or people with a need for aesthetic-cosmetic corrections in the front tooth area who do not want to do it without orthodontic expertise. An orthodontist should still be consulted for other, more complex medical indications.

Since SayCheeese is not a service provided by the statutory health insurance funds, a referral is not necessary. You can easily and conveniently register online via the SayCheeese website make an appointment. Of course, a dentist or orthodontist can make a recommendation to be treated at SayCheeese, but this is not actually a referral. A visit to your own dentist is recommended before making an appointment.

The careful and competent planning of such a treatment is not only a benefit for patients, but above all a necessity in order to achieve satisfactory treatment results.

SayCheeese is not a competitor for orthodontics because SayCheeese specializes exclusively in aesthetic corrections. Medical indications are still treated in orthodontic offices.

You make an appointment vie the website and come personally to the SayCheeese office, where an X-ray and a 3D scan are made. A licensed doctor then takes over the case planning. When all aligners are produced and ready for collection, a notification will be sent via SMS or email and an appointment will be made.

To adjust the splints, the patient comes back to the office so that it can be checked whether everything is sitting correctly. If necessary, stripping is carried out, that means a polishing of the interdental spaces, in order to create more space. This is decided individually by the doctor when planning the treatment. Then you get the splints to take home with you, where they are worn according to the numbering.

At the end of the treatment, the patient makes another appointment for a personal visit to the surgery to discuss the result and complete the treatment.

Depending on the misalignment and the number of splints, the treatment takes between 16 and 30 weeks.

If necessary, you can come back to our office for a check-up during the treatment and at the end of the treatment.

Three well-known Viennese orthdontists with many years of experience and, above all, comprehensive medical competence: Dr. Maija Eltz, DDr. Bärbel Reisenhofer, DDr. Sabine Schanzer.

It is well known that sugar has a bad effect on teeth: sugar is broken down into acids by caries bacteria. These attack the tooth enamel and tooth decay develops.

You should also be careful with fruit, smoothies, or lemonade, as they contain a lot of acids. These soften the enamel and minerals are released.

Our tip: If you eat fruit, also eat calcium-rich foods such as yoghurt and combine them.

Saliva also helps: saliva binds the acid and rinses the mouth. Foods like carrots need to be chewed longer, which stimulates salivation.

Foods containing fluoride and calcium harden tooth enamel and stimulate the flow of saliva: Fluoride hardens tooth enamel. Foods that contain fluoride include fish, walnuts, black tea, and fluoridated table alt. There is also toothpaste containing fluoride.

Dairy products contain a lot of calcium and strengthen teeth. Mild and dairy products such as cheese and yoghurt, but also vegetables such as kale, broccoli, leeks, and spinach are particularly rich in calcium.

The SayCheeese braces are almost invisible and offer better wearing comfort and flexibility. There are also few visits to the dentists since you get several splints to take home with you. Another advantage is that the braces can be removed, which makes it easy to eat.

There are two packages: depending on the complexity of the treatment and the number of splints, the costs are €1,980 or €2,980. Which package is suitable is decided during the course of the case planning.

You do not have to worry!

With invisible braces, there are no inconveniences, because you can eat and drink anything despite SayCheeese braces.
Before each meal, you simply take out the braces and put them back in after you have brushed your teeth. Proper oral hygiene also plays an important role with SayCheeese braces.

Coffee, tea or, for example, turmeric can stain your teeth, as well as the braces. We also recommend that you briefly remove the SayCheeese braces if you have sugary drinks or drinks that can discolour your teeth
