Invisalign has taken the world of orthodontics by storm with its high levels of discreetness and cosmetic qualities. The expansion of the Invisalign family, which includes Invisalign Teen and Invisalign Lite, means that Invisalign is now suitable for a wide range of patients, regardless of age.

About Invisalign Lite

Invisalign Lite is an express version of the traditional Invisalign system, which is suitable for patients who require mild orthodontic correction. Invisalign Lite works in the same way as Invisalign, but the patient wears fewer aligners and treatment is usually completed within a shorter period of time.

The clear aligners are designed to guide the teeth gently into position. Invisalign Lite aligners, like traditional Invisalign aligners, are put on for two weeks and then swapped for the next, this process repeating until treatment completion. The aligners are removable, but patients should wear them for a minimum of 22 hours per day in order for treatment to be successful.

Like Invisalign, Invisalign Lite is a highly discreet brace system, which goes completely unnoticed by any onlookers.

How long does treatment take?

Invisalign Lite is designed for patients with minor orthodontic problems and therefore fewer aligners are required. Most patients have between 10 to 14 aligners, with treatment completing within 4-6 months. Successful treatment is dependent on the aligners being worn for at least 22 hours per day.  Aligners should only be removed when eating, drinking and cleaning the teeth.

If you are looking for an effective, discreet treatment, which works quickly, look no further than Invisalign Lite. This treatment enables you to enjoy a healthy, natural and straight smile without the worry of wearing bulky or uncomfortable braces. You’ll also be pleased to know that you can enjoy the flexibility of being able to remove the aligners to eat, drink and for special occasions.
