It’s a great brace for people who are sure to be dedicated in wearing their braces. If someone is likely to take their braces out too often this is not the right choice, as the advised treatment times and best effect requires you to wear the braces for around 22 hours per day.

Invisalign, what is it?

Invisalign uses a series of 3D printed, thin plastic aligners, which are worn over the teeth. They are almost invisible so you will have no need to worry about people noticing your braces. The aligners should be taken out for eating and cleaning, this means you will have no food restrictions or difficult-to-clean fixed brackets to worry about. When worn for the recommended times, Invisalign takes on average one year to complete for mild to moderate cases.
