In recent years, we have seen a significant increase in the popularity of invisible braces around the world. People of all ages are choosing this discreet and effective alternative to traditional metal braces for a smile they are not ashamed of. What do our customers say about us? What has been their experience with Invisalign braces and our process? What do they see as the advantages and disadvantages? Read interviews with our clients where they candidly share all of their experiences and concerns.
Invisible braces, also known as clear braces or aesthetic braces, are today's state-of-the-art way to ensure a beautiful, healthy smile. Unlike typical fixed metal braces, which are still probably the most well-known method of orthodontic treatment, they are made of a clear, biocompatible material. The braces then take the form of a series of customized aligners that you change periodically as treatment progresses.
Thanks to their unobtrusiveness, they are the ideal choice for those who want to adjust their teeth discreetly and without any negative impact on their appearance. A great advantage is their convenience - they are easy to take off at any time, for example before eating or brushing your teeth, which makes it easier to maintain good oral hygiene during treatment.
We often encounter a certain amount of mistrust in initial consultations. "How can such a piece of plastic work?" Easily. But don't take our word for it, see what our customers have to say.
We conduct random interviews with our clients where we ask them about their unfiltered opinions and experiences. Today we have selected three: Miss Petra, Mr Matej and 14-year-old Kristýna and her mother.
"I have wanted to have straight teeth since I was a child, but at that time braces were not as big a trend as they are today. In the end, I opted for children's braces, which were only worn at night, because I was too embarrassed to wear them all day (laughs). Unfortunately, these removable braces only helped me to improve minimally at the time.
As an adult, I took the plunge again and went for a consultation at the orthodontics, where I was very disappointed - all they offered me was classic metal braces. I went in hoping that orthodontics had moved on since my childhood and that perhaps there might be a more modern method. Anyway, to top it all off - I happened to hear about the Invisalign system, Braces World and the 'miracles' you do from a dentist friend. At the time, she had them fitted as well, which inspired me and I just thought I'd go for it (laughs)."
"I was immediately impressed with Invisalign braces. It was exactly what I had hoped for in terms of medical advancement. That's why I decided to have the treatment almost immediately - I hesitated for a while just because of the price.
I made an appointment by phone with World of Braces for an initial consultation. The big plus was that they had an appointment available for me fairly quickly. On site afterwards I was surprised by the beautiful, clean, bright and modern surroundings. Even afterwards, I liked that the clinic was always beautifully clean and that all the clinic staff were professional and well put together.
I was literally amazed by the modern technology (tooth scanning and visualization of the orthodontic plan). I also fondly remember a nurse who was in the process of her own Invisalign treatment, so I was able to see everything first-hand - and I think that's probably what influenced me the most."
"As far as financing is concerned, I have decided to split the payment into three parts. I admit that Invisalign treatment is not the cheapest, but my beautiful and healthy teeth were worth it. In addition to the aesthetic transformation, the straight teeth also guarantee that I will need less demanding dental procedures in the future, which are often very expensive. So I thought of it as a wise investment for the future, which will definitely pay off in the years to come. It's a pity that at that time there wasn't the option of monthly repayments as there is now."
"What I liked most about Invisalign braces was how I got completely comfortable with them in the first few days. I didn' t hurt once during the whole time - it was more of an annoyance and habit at first - and most people didn't even notice I was wearing them. It even happened that when I revealed them to someone, a surprised question followed, asking why I didn't have my braces on when I said I did.
I wore braces for less than two years. I knew I had to wear them ideally 22 hours a day, and I followed it obsessively - I was afraid that not wearing them would slow down my results. Now I'm still in the process of wearing retainers.
Svět rovnátek and I would recommend Invisalign braces to anyone. My choice was the right decision and anyone who wants a beautiful smile and who wants to smile to the fullest should definitely go for it. In short, a smile is life."
"I needed braces to address crowded teeth in the front of my lower jaw and initial signs of rotation in one of my upper front teeth. I thought fixed metal braces were the only possible solution, which I honestly didn't really want to get into - mainly because I work in management and wouldn't feel completely comfortable in meetings. Then I came across Svět rovnátek on social media . Through this I learned that there was another way to go - that I could address my smile with Invisalign, even at my age. I was so relieved."
"The appointment and the first consultation went smoothly and quickly. I was surprised by the price, but I figured it was the price of not having a mouth full of wires. Due to the nature of my alignment issues, the dentist had to place several small clear "buttons" on the fronts of several teeth . These served as pivot points or anchors for the braces or my aligners. At first, these 'knobs' were painful and admittedly, I needed pain medication in the early days as my teeth got used to the splints. But over time, the discomfort was manageable until I finally got used to it.
This initial pain aside, my experience with Invisalign and Braces World has been positive. I wore my braces as recommended, and had a check-up every 2-3 months to monitor my tooth movement. The staff was helpful, the environment was pleasant, and the monthly payments were convenient and low."
"I was most pleased that I was able to get through the splint sets faster than I originally expected. In 14 months I was flattened. So just even years after treatment, I still wear retainers a couple of times a week to prevent my teeth from shifting too much in alignment.
I'm definitely happier now, I don't have to worry about smiling and making sure I don't show my teeth too much. Svět rovnátek I would definitely recommend it."
We interviewed both Kristýna, who has been in treatment with us for about six months, and her mother. Her mom says:
"When the dentist decided that it would be appropriate for Christine to start wearing braces, I immediately thought of myself and my childhood with braces. The number of times I had to make emergency visits to the orthodontist because wires stuck in my mouth or my retainer fell off. How much it always hurt after tightening them. And how badly I ate for 3 years with braces. Thank goodness it's the 21st century and there are gentler and less invasive treatment options for children too.
The dentist himself recommended Invisalign braces, saying that even her problem (misaligned and misplaced jaw) was suitable for this technique. He added that as long as I felt comfortable with my child being responsible for wearing braces on her own, he certainly wouldn't even consider other braces. I am relieved that my daughter will not have to go through what I did."
"My second thought was that it would cost us dearly. At Braces World, I was advised to check with my insurance company about financial contributions - since Christine is under 22, I was given at least a modest one-time financial assistance and reimbursement for orthodontic care. After that, I opted for monthly payments, so it didn't put a strain on the family budget. Thank goodness for that!"
Christine herself then let herself be heard:
"I got used to braces quite quickly, it was just quite unusual at first. I always had to think about not having them out for too long, so my mum wouldn't be upset. That's what I hate about invisible braces, that I have to wear them really all day and I always have to brush my teeth before I put them on. But my mom says it's better for my overall dental health. I'm glad they're not visible and I've never been teased at school. I'm also not worried about it hurting like it always does at the dentist, everyone here is so nice."
Sometimes a little is enough. Like in the case of our client Hannah. "The first impulse came when we walked past the pop-up showroom of the world of braces at Westfield Chodov. I took a casual look at what my teeth would look like after treatment. I was so convinced by the result that I went for it." What then normally follows?
1. First, you make an appointment for a no-obligation consultation - which you can book either via our web form or by phone. All clients interviewed praised the simplicity and speed of the process.
2. During the initial consultation, we will do a quick scan of your teeth. This will give us a 3D visualisation of your teeth, showing how your smile will look once your teeth are straightened. "I was literally blown away by the modern technology (tooth scanning and visualization of the orthodontic plan)," says Petra. We will also introduce you to your treatment options, types of braces and their cost.
3. Have you decided to go for it? Then we will invite you for an initial examination. This includes taking x-rays and photographs of your face and teeth. "I really appreciated the speed of the whole process," says Dominika.
4. When you receive your braces, we will explain how to work with them - how to brush your teeth, what to eat and what to watch out for.
5. Then you just come to us for regular check-ups and enjoy how your teeth straighten and your self-confidence increases.
