Invisible Aligners

Description

Invisible aligners are transparent, removable plastic trays that gradually move teeth into proper alignment. They are custom-made for each patient and replaced every few weeks as the teeth shift. Unlike traditional braces, they do not use brackets or wires, making them virtually invisible when worn.

Key points:

• Appearance: Nearly invisible, very discreet compared to metal or ceramic braces.
• Removability: Can be removed while eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing.
• Comfort: Smooth plastic reduces irritation to gums and cheeks.
• Effectiveness: Suitable for mild to moderate orthodontic issues; may not work for complex cases.
• Cost: Generally more expensive than metal or ceramic braces.
• Maintenance: Requires discipline to wear 20–22 hours daily and regular cleaning of the trays.
