SWEDEN & MARTINA F22 ALIGNER Instrucciones Para El Uso página 7

Precautions
1. Aligners must not be exposed to hot water and to chemical materials.
2. Aligners must be kept out of reach of children and animals.
3. Always store aligners in a cool dry place.
4. Treatments for serious cases of open bites, overjet, mixed dentition and/or narrow jaws may require other
procedures in addition to treatment with aligners.
5. Additional orthodontic treatments such as the use of fixed buttons, orthodontic elastics, auxiliary dental
devices (e.g. temporary anchorage devices), removable or fixed devices and/or dental reconstruction
procedures may be necessary for more complex treatment plans in which aligners alone would not be
sufficient to achieve the desired results.
6. Oral surgery may be necessary to correct dental crowding or severe mandibular asymmetries which were
already present before using the F22 product. Should oral surgery be required, the risks associated with
anaesthesia and the correct healing of relevant tissues involved must be taken into consideration prior to
treatment.
7. Already existing dental restorations (e.g. crowns or bridges) may move, making it necessary to re-cement
or in some cases replace them.
8. Aligners cannot be used to move dental implants.
9. The patient's general medical conditions and the use of medicines may interfere with the orthodontic
treatment.
10. Some tooth sensitivity may be experienced when passing on to the next aligner. Some people may
complain about a slight temporary discomfort for some days at the beginning of each new treatment
phase, when a new aligner is worn: this is a normal condition, usually described as a sensation of
pressure. It is a sign that the aligners are working and are gradually moving the teeth towards the final
result. The discomfort generally disappears within a couple of days.
11. Aligners may have a temporary effect on pronunciation and cause a slight lisp, even though any speech
defects caused by using F22 tend to disappear within one or two weeks. The majority of patients have
reported no effects on their pronunciation. Nevertheless, as with all conventional orthodontic devices,
there is an initial adaptation period associated with the presence of a foreign body in the oral cavity.
12. Poor patient cooperation in not using the aligners for the prescribed number of hours per day and
not following the doctor's advice, tooth eruption, teeth with atypical shapes and the failure to keep
appointments could extend the treatment period and compromise the desired final result.
13. Gingivae, cheeks and lips may be scratched or irritated by the device.
14. To facilitate tooth movements and/or aligner retention, attachments may be temporarily fixed to one or
more teeth, or divots may be created on aligners during treatment. The protuberances are located at
points where the aligner adheres to the attachment positioned on teeth by the dentist. Attachments are
small elements made of composite materials that the dentist fixes onto the teeth at points where they
engage the aligner's protuberances. Divots are thin indentations situated on aligner surfaces which are
made by the dentist using special forceps. Dentists use one or both of these techniques to obtain the
desired tooth movements. Such attachments are removed after treatment.
15. Should an interproximal reduction be required in order to create the necessary spaces for teeth
movements, the risks associated with the technique should be taken into consideration.
