Frequently Asked Questions
We'll resolve your questions about Clippy-L lingual orthodontics
Q. What's the difference from custom lingual orthodontics?
Clippy-L is a standard self-ligating bracket, not custom-made, but provides the same aesthetics and efficiency through precision scan-based attachment. It has the advantage of starting treatment quickly with shorter fabrication time.
Q. How does it compare to Invisalign?
Invisalign is transparent but removable, while Clippy-L is fixed, allowing more precise tooth movement. Clippy-L is more effective for complex cases or when rotation is needed.
Q. How long does treatment take?
Average 20-30 months, varying according to individual tooth condition and movement degree. The self-ligating system can shorten treatment time compared to conventional lingual orthodontics.
Q. How much pain or discomfort is there?
Initial 1-2 weeks require tongue adaptation period, and there may be temporary effects on pronunciation. Clippy-L's self-ligating system causes less pain during adjustments than conventional brackets.
Q. How much does treatment cost?
Less expensive than custom lingual orthodontics while expecting the same effects. Exact costs will be guided through consultation according to individual treatment plans.
