A clear aligner, clear alternative to braces. They are transparent- plastic form of braces used to adjust or straighten teeth. They are removable devices that allow you to eat, drink and eat without hindrance. Invisalign is the largest and most renowned producers of clear aligners. They consist of a series of tight fitting custom made aligners that slip over teeth. Each aligner is worn for 10-15 days. Initial fit is unfitting for a couple of days until it seats completely. Invisalign can be used for mild to moderate crowding, spacing and for relapse cases of braces treatment done in childhood or teenage. The last aligner can be used as a retainer. A retainer is worn to retain the final tooth positions. The treatment duration will vary from 10 weeks to maximum of 24 months.
