Invisalign Clear Aligners
Invisalign® clear aligners can be a fast and comfortable option for teeth straightening.
Invisalign® treatment is the process of wearing a series of clear, removable aligners that gradually straighten your teeth. No brackets and wires, and none of the food restrictions that come with metal braces. They are thin, clear, and fit snugly over your teeth, making them virtually invisible.
Here’s why Invisalign clear aligners is a great option:
Appearance
They’re discreet and hard to notice.
Comfort
More comfortable than braces, with no irritating wires or brackets.
Convenience and Hygiene
Easily removable for eating and cleaning, making oral hygiene much easier than with braces.
Progress Monitoring
Advanced technology helps track your progress, and aligners are removable for easy checks.
Faster Treatment (with good compliance)
Aligners typically straighten teeth faster than braces by moving multiple teeth together rather than each one of them.
Fewer Visits
Fewer orthodontist visits, with follow-ups every 8-10 weeks.
Different Treatment Options:
- Invisalign Full: For complex misalignment and malocclusion, with treatment lasting approximately 12-18 months.
- Invisalign Express: A shorter option with less number of aligners, less than 6 months of treatment.
- Invisalign Teen: Designed for teens, who are in mixed dentition of primary and permanent teeth. There is a compliance indicator to track wear.
- Invisalign First: Early treatment option for young children with jaw development guidance.
