What are Invisalign braces?

An orthodontic procedure called Invisalign can be utilised to get a more attractive smile. It can also be used to adjust the bite in patients who have mild to moderate misalignment. Patients can benefit from Invisalign procedures if they have an overbite, crossbite, or underbite. The procedure involves using clear plastic aligner trays to progressively realign the teeth. The trays must be worn for at least 20 hours each day to achieve this. The trays can be simply taken out, allowing patients to maintain their oral health and wellness without having to worry about brackets and wires that could make it difficult. They can also brush and floss as usual.
It’s critical to understand the benefits of Invisalign over conventional braces while weighing your options for orthodontic treatment.
- These braces are visible. You won't be noticed wearing them by many people.
- With Invisalign, your teeth will move more precisely than they would with conventional braces.
- With Invisalign, maintaining good oral health is simpler. While eating, brushing your teeth, and flossing, you can take the aligners out.
- Compared to metal braces, these aligners are far more comfortable. Your teeth or gums are not irritated by them.
- Time is saved using Invisalign. You will visit the dentist less frequently with Invisalign than with braces, which need more frequent appointments to change the arch wire and make adjustments. Treatment time is shortened to a greater extent.
We encourage you to wear a retainer after receiving orthodontic treatment. Your teeth alignment is maintained by a retainer. Your teeth could eventually revert to their original positions if you don’t have it.
