Invisalign Orthodontics - Invisible Orthodontic Braces for Teeth
 Invisalign Orthodontics is the invisible way to straighten your teeth without braces. It uses a series of clear removable aligners to straighten your teeth without metal wires or brackets.
They are invisible, removable and more comfortable than conventional metal wired braces. There are no brackets to catch food or plaque, thus he risk of tooth decay or tooth damage from braces may be lower.
Invisalign Orthodontics, however, is not used to treat all all tooth-straightening cases. Also, being removable, patients' compliance is required. Do consult your orthodontist.

How Does Invisalign Orthodontics Work?
You wear each set of Orthodontic aligners for about 2 weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. As you replace each Orthodontic aligner with the next in the series, your teeth will move - little by little, week by week - until they have straightened to the final position your dentist has prescribed.
-
You'll visit your dentist about once every 6 weeks to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned.
-
Total treatment time averages 9-15 months and the average number of Orthodontic aligners worn during treatment is between 18 and 30, but both will vary from case to case.
