A CLEAR SOLUTION



Worried about being seen wearing ugly dental braces? Invisalign is a clear alternative that frees you from the emotional strain of chunky traditional braces.

Those suffering from crooked teeth have little to smile about, for fear of being gawked at should they expose their teeth. However, faced with thoughts of embarrassment and discomforts of wearing traditional braces, many put off seeking treatment.

New developments in orthodontic technology, invisalign, a treatment utilizing specially developed polyurethane aligners that help straighten teeth whilst still remaining unnoticeable.



Invisalign straightens your teeth in a comfortable and inconspicuous manner by using a series of clear, removable aligners. The course of treatment involves changing aligners approximately every two weeks, moving your teeth into straighter positions step by step, until you have a more beautiful smile. It can be removed while you eat and brush your teeth as usual.

It is an ultra-thin and smooth texture but rigid transparent aligners encase the teeth and guide them into proper alignment.

The total set of aligners needed for an entire treatment ranges from 10 to 52, corresponding to the 20 weeks and two-year treatment time required.

Candidates for invisalign: 

·       Mild to moderate crowdings
·       Spacings at the front of the mouth
·       Front teeth not touching
·       Anterior cross bite
·       Supplement to lingual braces (braces attached to the tongue-side of the teeth instead of front) in more complicated cases




Users do not have to feel overly self-conscious about their dental treatment, and can break into a smile without worrying about their braces getting all the attention.
