The Invisalign braces are a viable alternative to other conventional metal braces, for straightening your teeth. It is called the “invisible” method of teeth realignment that does not requiring braces. Invisalign braces resemble plastic mouth guards and are easy to use.What are used are clear custom fabricated aligners that are fitted in your mouth, and which moves your teeth over time, in a slow process to bring your teeth in alignment.

To develop a treatment plan that covers the original position of the teeth and the expected end result, 3-D imagery is used based on the dentists’ customised prescription for your mouth. By using 3-D imagery it will be easy to get an idea of what the end result will be before treatment begins. The information from the imagery is what is used to make the aligners. The aligners are worn for close to fourteen days and they move the teeth incrementally.

Your teeth will be correctly aligned and straighter when you use the Invisalign braces. Using the Invisalign braces will also eliminate the occurrence of mouth abrasions which sometimes happens when metal braces are being fitted. It is also more comfortable for users and by far much more convenient as it does not take much time to have adjustments done.

These braces allow you to take them out when you need to eat or drink therefore you are not restricted in what you can eat and you can also brush and floss your teeth at will.

Under normal situations you will be required to pay your dentist a visit at least twice monthly to change the trays and get a report on the your progress.

Before you rush out and get the Invisalign braces you should talk to your dentist first to see if it would be right for you.
