What is invisible braces?

What is Invisalign or Invisable braces? 

Invisalign treatment is an alternative to traditional metal dental braces. It consist of a series of clear, removable teeth aligners. Orthodontists and dentists both use this treatment nowadays.

The Invisalign system for teeth alignment from Align Technology has been causing quite a stir in the field of cosmetic dentistry. An interesting characteristic of Invisalign braces is that they are removable. This allows the much needed convenience of being able to take them off during meals or teeth brushing.

Every two weeks you change to a next set of aligners. Individually manufactured, each aligner is for your teeth only and your teeth moves every time you replace each aligner.

Your teeth move week by week until they come to a straightened position as prescribed by your dental practioner.
