Invisalign
Invisalign is a type of invisible clear braces used to straighten teeth discreetly, without affecting the daily routine of the patient. These are custom made, comfortable, removable and clear aligners which are replaced every 2 weeks till the teeth are in the final projected position.
Life Benefits of Invisible Braces?
– Straight teeth are healthier as there are no gaps for plaque to build up over time.
– Having an attractive smile will have a positive effect on your confidence.
– It is a long-term investment for your oral health.
– Thanks to fixed permanent retention you can be assured that your teeth won’t move after treatment is completed.
Why Invisalign?
-Invisalign aligners are nearly invisible. No one may notice that you’re wearing these aligners, making Invisalign a very comfortable fit with your every day routine and daily interactions with others.
-As they are removable, it gives you the flexibility to eat and drink what you want during the treatment by simply removing the aligners. One can also remove the aligners to brush and floss as you usually would for fresh breath and to maintain good oral health.
-There are no metal brackets or wires like traditional braces and no ‘train tracks’! This means that in most cases less time is spent in your Invisalign Provider’s practice for any changes needed.
-And finally, Invisalign allows you to view your virtual results and treatment plan before you even begin treatment so you can see how your teeth are expected to look when your treatment is complete.

The Invisalign aligners are made of strong medical grade thermoplastic material, uniquely developed for the System. The aligners are customized according to the patient and fit snugly over your teeth.
Invisalign aligners move teeth with an appropriate placement of controlled movement on the teeth. Invisalign controls the amount of movement per aligner and also the timing of the movement which is very different to traditional braces. So at each stage, only certain teeth are allowed to move, as per the Invisalign treatment plan for that particular stage. This results in an efficient force delivery system that moves teeth into the desired prescribed position.
