Alternative for metal braces

Invisalign is a popular alternative to traditional braces made from metal, which offers a more comfortable design and aesthetics for teeth straightening purposes. Instead of metal wires, Invisalign uses clear aligners that are almost invisible when being used. These aligners move and shift the teeth from their current position to the correct position. Invisalign is suitable for adults and teenagers who are concerned with the typical appearance of metal braces. This allows the concerned patients to straighten their teeth without using orthodontic treatment.

Another difference is the level of comfort that Invisalign offers compared to traditional braces. Metal braces can cause minor discomfort due to the wiring that comes with them.
