The benefits of Invisalign over traditional braces
Invisalign is a revolutionary teeth straightening system that involves wearing a series of custom-made clear aligners during a certain period of time with the aim of fixing crooked or misaligned teeth.
The aligners are discreet and virtually invisible. You will change them every one or two weeks and each time you will be closer to your dream smile. It is an alternative to traditional braces, especially for adults who don’t feel confident smiling with metal braces.
Invisalign is easily removable for brushing and flossing your teeth, as well as eating and special occasions but it is recommended to wear them at least 22 hours per day to achieve your goal.
