This is an alternative to braces which makes use of clear trays that fit over the teeth flawlessly. It is an alternative method used in orthodontic treatment of patients to gently move the teeth into alignment over time. They can be worn by both teenagers and adults.
It is easier to take care of your teeth with Invisalign since the aligner can be removed for brushing, flossing and eating. Invisalign can also be more comfortable than traditional braces since the patient does not have to worry about poking wires or loose brackets.
However, it is important that the patient wears the aligner throughout the day and night, otherwise the treatment cannot be effective. If patients are tempted not to wear their aligners on a regular basis, Invisalign may not be the best choice for them.
