Clear Aligners (also known as Invisible Braces) are transparent trays made of special PMMA plastic. They help straighten teeth like braces. They use gentle and constant force to move the teeth into the required position without the hassles of metal wires and brackets. They are custom-made for each patient through a 3D digital scan.
Invisible braces may not be suitable for all misalignments. They are well suited for treating easy to moderate orthodontic cases including overbites, crowded or widely spaced teeth, or crooked teeth.
Clear Aligners/ Invisible braces are an ideal orthodontic treatment for people of all ages. They are discreet, hassle-free, and very effective. However, compliance is more demanding in the case of children. Also, aligners are usually recommended for easy to moderate cases rather than very complex cases.
