Invisalign or clear aligners are an invisible, removable alternative to traditional metal braces.
If you do not want to wear traditional wire braces but still want to straighten your teeth, clear aligners or Invisalign in another name could be the correct answer. It is custom-made, clear made of plastic aligners. When you get them, you’ll get several months’ worth in advance; your dentist will change them out regularly every two weeks to help shift your teeth into the proper position. The whole process of aligners could take about nine months or longer, depending on the case and its needs.
When your teeth are aligned, they often hide fewer bacteria because they’re easier for you to clean. Maintaining better oral hygiene will decrease your risk of tooth decay and dental disease, and your gums may give your teeth better support when they aren’t overlapping. You could also reduce the risk of cracking, breaking or losing teeth when they fit together correctly. Invisalign and braces could even relieve stress put on your jaw from misaligned teeth.
