Invisalign braces are a removable, see-through orthodontic treatment, used as an alternative to traditional metal dental braces.
Being completely clear, these braces are far less noticeable than standard wire and bracket ones often worn by children and teenagers. Many people find them more comfortable, and they can be taken out at meal times.
These devices eliminate the effects on gums and supporting tissues other braces can have. Because Invisalign products are removed for cleaning and eating, accurate X-rays can be taken, and there is less chance of tooth decay. Plus, because you can take them out, you can eat what you like with none of the restrictions of standard braces.
Typically, patients have a new set of aligners in their treatment programme every couple of weeks. This means less force is applied than with traditional appliances, which are only adjusted every six weeks. The treatment programme takes on average 15 months for an adult.
