Invisalign are used by both orthodontists and dentists as an alternative to traditional metal braces. Invisalign are designed series of clear, removable teeth aligners with the most obvious advantage over traditional braces is the visual benefits as the aligners are transparent, therefore relieving the patient from the unsightly look and cosmetic stress from normal braces and return their confidence. This makes invisalign invisible braces particularly popular among adults and children who want to straighten their teeth without the look of metal braces, which are commonly worn by children and adolescents. Also the aligners are marketed as being more comfortable than braces.
Other benefits of invisalign are the fact that they are removable in turn reducing the chance of tooth decay or gum root problems that associated with fixed braces because they cannot be removed to eat or clean the teeth, aligners should always be removed to eat, drink and clean.
