What are clear aligners?
Clear aligners (Invisalign) i.e. medical grade plastic trays without any braces or wires. They come with a world of advantages. To begin with, they are totally invisible and therefore do not bring up the worry of how one’s look might change due to classic braces. They do not impose food restrictions as they are easily removable. They are also easy to maintain hygiene-wise and are very comfortable to wear. Contrary to popular belief, they do not cause speech difficulties. Moreover, they also hide existing gaps.
How fast do they work?
Cases of mild correction can generally be treated in 12 months. Other patients with severe problems may need to wear their aligners for up to three years. Since the aligners are removable, the treatment time can get extended if they are removed before the prescribed time. Dentists recommend that they are worn for around 22 hours per day. Invisible Braces Express is ideal for correction that can be treated in six months. The results and time span for treatment vary from person to person, so it’s best to consult your dentist.
What sort of food can i eat when in invisible braces treatment?
Since the aligners are removable, once they are off your teeth you can eat almost anything without worrying.
Eating while wearing your aligners may not be good idea, although it is not altogether prohibited. New aligners can be tight-fitting and painful to remove but your dentist will strongly recommend you to remove them before eating. Any debris accumulating in your aligners will spoil their look and promote tooth decay. So if you eat with your aligners on, remove and clean them as soon as you’re done eating. Remember that your Invisible Braces aligners are made of thin plastic. Chewing can easily damage them and distort their original shape. Distorted aligners are capable of disrupting the treatment and produce undesirable results. Besides aligners can make chewing awkward at times, trapping food in them, creating an embarrassing situation for you when in public. You may have to give up chewing gum, bubblegum, toffee and caramel and other sticky foods which are more susceptible to getting stuck in your aligners.

Are the aligners really invisible?
No. They can be seen if one looks closely. They are, however, barely noticeable and very comfortable to wear too. So you can still smile, talk and socialize confidently.
-
Does It Hurt?
You may experience slight soreness in the gums when you change your aligner, which must be done at fairly regular intervals. But the discomfort is minimal as compared to conventional braces. The aligners being removable, makes it easier to clean your teeth, eat certain types of food or smile for photographs
-
How are invisible braces better than other braces?
Firstly there are no brackets or wires. So they are more comfortable, less intrusive and more aesthetically pleasing. The aligners are moulded to suit your teeth and how you want them to look. They don’t need to be tightened and adjusted, unlike conventional braces which lose their shape and tension after every few weeks. Invisible Braces work effectively and efficiently, exerting the right amount of pressure without the need for tightening. For you, that means fewer visits to the dentist and they don’t mature into a bigger problem. This is called interceptive orthodontics.
-
Do invisible braces work for everyone?
Invisible Braces can correct a large number of orthodontic problems. However, not everyone is a suitable patient as Invisible Braces are not always appropriate for more complex problems. The best way to find out is to talk with an Invisible Braces-certified dentist. Your dentist will be able to recommend the most suitable form of treatment for you.
-
What about teenagers and children?
Invisible Braces are appropriate only for patients who have fully grown teeth. So they’re not suitable for children Invisible Braces Teen is a version of Invisible Braces adapted to suit teenagers’ active and rough lifestyle. For instance, it includes replacement aligners in case any are lost or broken.

How do I go about invisible braces?
To start off, it is best to consult your dentist. This way you’ll know the complete picture of the cost, procedure and other details of the treatment. Going ahead with a treatment may sound like a costly process at this point but a word with your dentist will put your fears and doubts at rest.
