Equalizing teeth with kappa is a modern method of finding an even snow-white smile. Nature does not always give equal white teeth, but medicine is moving forward and today there are many opportunities to correct deficiencies.
Compared to braces , veneers , teeth repair with kappa takes much less time and does not require prolonged surgical intervention. In addition, the kappas are transparent, they are not visible to strangers when communicating, smiling or eating.
Setting the Kappa
Setting the mouthpiece to the teeth involves making a special impression of your jaw. Then, based on the current situation, the lab produces a kappa. In appearance, they are transparent caps on the teeth that need to be worn for a certain time. Due to their shape, they act on the teeth, helping them to get into the right position. Kappas change every 10-15 days, following changes in the position of the teeth. When chewing, brushing teeth, talking, the mouthguards do not interfere at all: they do not rub their gums, they do not fall down, because they are made individually for you.
The entire duration of treatment with kappa is from several months to 1 year, depending on your situation. At the last stage of treatment, when the teeth have already occupied the desired position, special fixing lips are made, which are put on the inner side of the jaw. For this purpose, a kappa can be placed on the teeth and after the braces.

The manufacture of the mouthguard for teeth whitening is characterized by the addition of a special gel which, during the period of wearing the kappa, affects the enamel of the teeth, whitening it.
