Many people long for straight teeth, but they don’t want the hassle of wearing visible braces. If this scenario sounds familiar to you, we have some incredible options to explore. It’s very common for patients to ask about discreet alternatives to fixed braces, and with treatments like Invisalign, we’re confident that we can find a solution you’ll love.

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a modern, discreet orthodontic system, which uses a set of bespoke, transparent aligners to straighten the teeth. Invisalign is unlike many other treatments, as it uses a sequence of braces, rather than a single device. Each person’s treatment is planned in advance using sophisticated technology, and each patient receives a collection of custom-made aligners. Every aligner is slightly different, and the braces use gentle forces to move the teeth into position. Invisalign aligners should be worn for approximately 2 weeks and then swapped for the next appliance in the sequence. Invisalign braces are removable, but for the best results, they should be in place for around 22 hours per day.

What’s so good about Invisalign?

Invisalign offers a wealth of benefits to patients looking for a modern-day orthodontic treatment. Benefits include:

• Invisibility: Invisalign aligners are made from clear plastic, meaning they are virtually undetectable when they are in the mouth.
• Convenience: as Invisalign braces are removable, they fit into your day to day life very easily. You don’t have to worry about changing your diet or trying to keep your teeth clean.
• Comfort: Invisalign braces fit comfortably over the teeth, and there are no metal parts.
• Flexibility: many patients enjoy the flexibility offered by removable braces.
• Versatility: Invisalign aligners are suited to the majority of patients with minor or moderate orthodontic issues.
