Invisible Braces

Invisible braces or clear aligners, are a popular for adult patients to correct mild alignment problems of the front teeth, top or bottom.

Invisible braces explained

Invisible brace treatment consists of a series of nearly invisible, removable aligners that you change every two to three weeks for the next set of aligners. Each aligner is individually manufactured for your teeth only. As you replace each aligner, your teeth will move, little by little, until they have straightened to the final position required.

Impressions are taken of your teeth, and assessed for suitability, the lab produce a 3D scan of your teeth and an estimate of the number of Clear Aligners needed for each case will be given. The aligners should be worn ideally fulltime, apart from eating and cleaning.  All orthodontic treatment requires retention to prevent relapse. Clear Aligners (also known as Clear Braces, Invisible Braces and Invisible Aligners) have become increasingly popular in recent years. 

Advantages:

• Invisible, very thin, and don’t impede speech
• Ideal for adult patients who are reluctant to have a lengthy orthodontic treatment wearing metal brackets or bulky removable appliances
• An excellent tool for final correction after orthodontic treatment, or Inman Aligner
• Can realign teeth after relapse post-orthodontic treatment
• Best for aligning mild crowding of anterior teeth
• Most effective in labial, lingual & rotation movement with some limited intrusion and extrusion
• Simple cases can be finished with only two or three aligners
