Invisalign is a variety of braces that use clear tray aligners. The aligners are made of solid plastic, which puts pressure on the teeth and pulls them to the desired location. The aligners are custom-made to fit the patient’s mouth. The braces are transparent and removable and are less prominent when compared to the metal braces.

The metal braces are a major hurdle for people who wish to have a beautiful smile together with an aesthetic appearance. Since the metal braces don’t present a beautiful sight, many of them shy away from wearing them. With Invisalign, there are no metal brackets and wires to hamper your outward appearance. The transparent braces can help you achieve a perfectly aligned set of teeth along with a flawless smile while undergoing the treatment. Invisalign offers an effective and unobtrusive solution.
