The INVISIBLE braces process involves the creation of clear molds that act as aligners to straighten your teeth. These molds are made after we record impressions of your teeth and send them to a Clear Aligners lab. Using digital technology the lab makes the aligners or retainers in about 2 weeks and ships them back to us for you to try on.
The Invisible Braces system is a complete aesthetic improvement compared to traditional metal braces. Your first set of aligners should be worn for about 3 weeks and then you’ll move on to the next set. The total number of aligners that you’ll wear during your full treatment process will depend on the severity of the positioning of teeth.
Invisible Braces is an option available only for adults, also not all patients are candidates for this type of treatment. It is important to stress that the Invisible aligners must be worked as consistently as possible. Since they are removable, patients are tempted to take them off and keep them off frequently. Also, since the aligners can be removed, it’s possible that they can be lost or damaged. Consider these factors when choosing between this system and more traditional systems for dental braces.
