Invisalign Krakow — clear aligners
Orthodontic treatment with clear Invisalign aligners — an individual plan for correcting tooth alignment without classic fixed braces.
Who provides Invisalign treatment at MistoDent Krakow?
Dr. Kateryna Zadereshchenko — orthodontist, prosthodontist, gnathologist. She provides orthodontic treatment for children and adults, including therapy with Invisalign aligners. She prepares the treatment plan based on diagnostics, tooth alignment, occlusal conditions and the patient's individual needs.
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment system that uses a series of individually designed clear aligners. Each aligner is responsible for a specific stage of gradually changing the position of the teeth.
Unlike classic fixed braces, Invisalign aligners are removable. The patient can take them out for eating and oral hygiene and then put them back in as instructed by the orthodontist.
The aligners are transparent and fitted to the patient's teeth, so in everyday use they are much less visible than classic metal brackets and wires.
However, Invisalign is not chosen for aesthetic reasons alone. It is an orthodontic treatment method that requires prior diagnostics, careful planning of tooth movements and regular check-ups.
When should you consider Invisalign?
Invisalign aligners can be used to treat various tooth alignment problems and selected malocclusions.
Depending on the clinical situation, treatment may be considered, among others, in the case of:
- crowded teeth;
- minor and more significant tooth misalignment;
- gaps between teeth;
- diastema;
- some incorrect relationships between the upper and lower arches;
- relapse of misalignment after previous orthodontic treatment;
- the need to prepare tooth alignment for further prosthetic or aesthetic treatment.
What Invisalign can achieve depends on the specific problem. That is why the orthodontist decides after diagnostics whether Invisalign is suitable.
Types of Invisalign treatment at MistoDent Kraków
We choose the scope of Invisalign treatment according to the number of tooth movements needed and the complexity of the case.
Invisalign Go
Invisalign Go can be used in selected cases requiring a limited scope of correction. At MistoDent the package includes treatment with up to 7 aligners.
Invisalign Light
Invisalign Light is intended for cases requiring more extensive treatment than Invisalign Go. The package available at MistoDent includes up to 15 aligners.
Invisalign Moderate
Invisalign Moderate allows more extensive orthodontic treatment to be planned when more stages are needed than in the Go or Light options.
Invisalign Comprehensive
Invisalign Comprehensive is intended for more complex orthodontic treatment requiring a wider scope of correction.
Which Invisalign option is suitable is determined by the orthodontist only after diagnostics and preparation of the treatment plan.
How does Invisalign work?
Treatment is based on a planned sequence of tooth movements.
The patient receives a set of individually made aligners. Each differs slightly from the previous one and gradually moves the teeth towards the position planned by the orthodontist.
The aligners should be worn as instructed by the doctor and changed according to the agreed schedule.
During therapy there are check-up visits at which the orthodontist assesses whether the actual tooth position matches the prepared plan.
What does Invisalign treatment look like step by step?
1. Orthodontic consultation
The orthodontist assesses tooth alignment, the bite and the patient's expectations and makes an initial assessment of whether aligner treatment is possible.
2. Diagnostics
We perform the diagnostics needed to prepare the treatment plan. The scope of examinations depends on the specific case.
3. Digital treatment plan
Based on the collected data, the successive stages of tooth movement and the expected scope of therapy are planned.
4. Making the Invisalign aligners
Once the plan is approved, an individual set of aligners corresponding to successive treatment stages is made.
5. Wearing and changing the aligners
The patient wears the aligners as instructed by the orthodontist and changes them according to the agreed schedule.
6. Check-up visits
During check-ups the doctor reviews progress and whether the actual tooth movement matches the plan.
7. Retention
After active treatment, orthodontic retention is needed to keep the teeth in their new position.
Invisalign or fixed braces — which to choose?
This is one of the most common questions before starting orthodontic treatment. Both Invisalign and classic braces change the position of teeth, but they differ in how treatment is carried out.

Invisalign — advantages and limitations
Before starting treatment, it is worth knowing both the advantages and the limitations of aligners.
Main advantages of Invisalign:
- the aligners are clear and barely visible;
- they can be removed for eating;
- they can be removed for brushing and flossing;
- there are no classic metal brackets and wires;
- successive tooth movements are planned before therapy begins;
- the method can be used for both minor and more extensive corrections — after proper qualification.
What to keep in mind:
- aligners must be worn consistently;
- removing them for too long may affect the course of treatment;
- not every case qualifies for the same aligner therapy;
- orthodontic check-ups are still needed during treatment;
- retention is necessary after therapy.
That is why choosing Invisalign should follow from orthodontic diagnostics, not only from the fact that aligners are less visible.
