Many of us want to have straighter teeth, but we don’t want to look ugly especially when those metal brackets and wires show up that is a standard with traditional orthodontic work. This is where Invisalign can be beneficial.
Invisalign aligners are a type of orthodontic appliance that uses invisible aligners instead of metal brackets and wires to straighten your teeth. These are custom-made plastic aligners that gradually shift your teeth in its target position. Each of the trays is manufactured to be slightly straighter than the previous tray. It slowly moves teeth for up to 0.25mm per tray that is why you’ll need a new set every two weeks.
