Line-M-Up™: Are You A Good Candidate?

Invisible aligner systems like Line-M-Up™ aren’t necessarily for everyone, so here’s how you can decipher if you or your child are a good candidate!

invisible aligners and Line-M-Up are helping patients

 

For many orthodontic patients and parents, Line-M-Up™ and other invisible aligner systems are like miracles. When you consider the fact that you can get an effective orthodontic treatment without having to wear metal braces, it makes sense why so many people are choosing this ever-popular form of orthodontic care.

People love the conveniences of being able to take their aligner trays out while they eat and drink during snacks and meals, and these trays are considered invisible for a reason: they really are hard to notice!

Line-M-Up™ is JK Orthodontic’s patented invisible aligner system that goes to a whole other level as compared to other aligner systems when it comes to treatment efficiency and comfort. Although other aligner systems are great products that are sure to provide wonderful results for both teenager and adults, there really is no comparison when you put these alternatives up against Line-M-Up™ from a pricing and overall effectiveness standpoint.

All of us at JK Orthodontics love providing our patients with Line-M-Up™, and we’re more than confident that you’ll love it as well! However, what patients and parents need to understand is that Line-M-Up™ simply isn’t for everyone. Below we’ll be delving deeper into the effectiveness of invisible aligner systems like Line-M-Up™, and helping you better understand if you or your child are a good candidate.

 

Does Line-M-Up™ Really Work?

 

The simple answer to this question is a resounding YES, because there’s absolutely no doubt about it that Line-M-Up™ works as an effective orthodontic treatment. There’s a common misconception about invisible aligners in that most people think that this treatment is commonly used by adult professionals that don’t want others to recognize that they’re utilizing straightening appliances. Although this does make up a significant portion of good Line-M-Up™ candidates, it’s become very apparent in recent years that more and more teenagers are also very interested in invisible aligner technology.

So how exactly does Line-M-Up™ work? What patients end up doing is simply wear their invisible trays for around 20 hours each day, and they’ll generally only take them out when they’re eating, brushing their teeth or cleaning the trays. Dr. Karpac and our team of specialists will work together to ensure that your aligner trays are specifically designed to correct your unique oral health issues, which means that the correct type of pressure will be applied with each new set of trays throughout the treatment process.

So yes, Line-M-Up™ undoubtedly works; but it’s important for patients and parents to realize that invisible aligner systems are naturally dependent upon the patient’s personal responsibility. You’ll need to closely listen to Dr. Karpac as he provides you with a whole array of tips to help you make the most of your Line-M-Up™ treatment’s overall efficiency, an this includes consistent wearing and cleaning habits.

 

What Exactly Makes Someone A Good Candidate For Line-M-Up™?

 

There’s a lot that goes into being a good candidate for orthodontic treatment like Line-M-Up™, but you should feel rest assured that this type of criteria is mostly nothing that you should be worried about. The first and foremost aspect of being a good candidate for Line-M-Up™ is simply having a strong interest in wanting to straighten your teeth and correct any jaw misalignment issues that you may have.

But the big difference between braces and Line-M-Up™ is that the patient themselves will have a much larger responsibility in terms of the treatment’s progression and overall outcome. This subsequently requires Line-M-Up™ patients to need to be rather self-disciplined.

Every invisible aligner patient is going to be required to wear their aligner trays for a set amount of time each and every day, and this time will be determined by Dr. Karpac. Being persistent in your wearing habits is absolutely crucial in terms of ensuring the efficiency of your treatment results, because not wearing your aligners long enough on a daily basis or not switching trays at the correct time will ultimately prolong your treatment process.

It’s also important to note that your aligner trays are going to get dirty on a daily basis due to bacteria and plaque buildup. This is why you’re likely going to need to clean your aligner trays at least a couple times per day, which can mean carrying cleaning supplies with you on a daily basis.

You’re also going to remove your trays when you eat, and this sometimes will lead to patients keeping their trays out for a little bit longer than they really ought to. This can have a detrimental effect on a treatment process, which is why quickly inserting your trays after eating is very important.

So due to everything above, Line-M-Up™ is typically for patients that are self-disciplined and highly motivated towards achieving their treatment results. Adult patients tend to be more motivated due to the fact that they’re paying for their treatment themselves, but there are also countless teenagers that are also perfectly fine as Line-M-Up™ candidates as well!
