Invisible braces is a removable orthodontic appliance offered as an alternative to more traditional braces. If you are a candidate for invisible braces you can maintain your smile esthetics while straightening your teeth.
The removable orthodontic appliance incorporates a series of invisible (clear) plastic aligners that fit comfortably over your teeth and are designed to move them gradually into the desired position.
The method is simple, requiring only one set of dental impressions. Thses impressions are used to create a three-dimensional computer projection of how the teeth could move incrementally, forming the basis for developing a series of custom - made aligners designed to accomplish movement. Aligners are typically dispensed in groups of one or two about every 4-6 weeks. Although the aligners are removable they must be wore at least 20 hours a day in order to reposition the teeth successfully. Most adults complete their treatment in less than one year.
