Invisalign treatment is the latest and most popular method in teeth straightening nowadays. It is an excellent alternative for people who want to straighten their teeth without resorting to braces. Teeth aligners also called as clear aligners are used to align the teeth correctly over some time. These aligners serve the same purpose as fixed braces but are more comfortable since they are made of high-grade dental plastics, which fits perfectly around the teeth, and the most significant advantage is the aesthetics/ looks. These are changed after fixed intervals. Clear aligners are specially made for each patient (customised computer-based designing), are removable, practically invisible and extremely comfortable. It is used to treat crooked teeth or teeth with gaps in them and can be used instead of fixed braces in a majority of cases. Get in touch with us to know more.
