Clear aligners (Invisalign) is a dental innovation that helps correct teeth alignment issues without using traditional braces. Instead of wires and brackets, Invisalign uses a set of clear aligners that are custom-designed to gradually straighten teeth beautifully.
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is an orthodontic device made from special clear plastic (SmartTrack®) that is flexible and fits snugly on the user’s teeth. It uses 3D Digital Scan technology to design detailed tooth movement paths, allowing you to see the results of your smile even before starting treatment.
Why is Invisalign a better choice?
- Almost invisible – boosts confidence, enhances personality, allowing you to smile and speak naturally
- No metal braces – reduces maintenance hassle, no worries about metal irritating gums or cheeks
- Easy to remove – eat and brush your teeth normally, reduces plaque buildup, lowers risk of cavities and gum disease
- Convenient and time-saving – all aligners are designed and produced in advance, allowing patients to change them by themselves without frequent dental visits
Simple tips for successful clear aligner treatment
- Wear the aligners for more than 20-22 hours per day
- Remove the aligners when drinking anything other than water, such as tea or coffee
- Clean your teeth before putting the aligners back on every time
- Visit your dentist as scheduled
