Invisible aligners are a modern solution for straightening teeth without traditional metal braces. These aligners are custom-fitted to gradually move teeth into optimal alignment. They are made of clear, medical-grade plastic. They offer a discreet and convenient way to achieve a beautiful smile, making them a popular choice among teenagers and adults.
Because invisible aligners are removable, compared to traditional braces, patients are free to resume their normal oral care regimen and eat as usual. The aligners are designed to be worn for 20-22 hours per day, with each set being replaced every 1-2 weeks as the teeth move into their desired positions.
Benefits of Invisible Aligners
Discreet Appearance: Made from clear plastic, the aligners are nearly invisible, allowing for a more natural look during treatment.
Removable: Patients can take the aligners out while eating or brushing, offering greater convenience and flexibility compared to fixed braces.
Comfortable: Without metal wires or brackets, invisible aligners are generally more convenient, reducing the likelihood of irritation in the mouth.
Custom fit: Each set of aligners is tailored to fit the patient’s teeth precisely, ensuring effective and gradual movement.
Predictable Results: Treatment is planned digitally, allowing patients to see the expected results before starting the process.
Ideal Candidates for Invisible Aligners:
Mild to Moderate Alignment Issues: Best suited for correcting minor to moderate crowding, gaps, or misalignment.
Commitment to Wearing Aligners: Patients must be diligent about wearing aligners as prescribed to achieve optimal results.
Invisible aligners are a popular and effective choice for those looking to straighten their teeth discreetly, comfortably, and conveniently.
