Invisalign clear braces are sets of clear plastic trays that you wear over your natural teeth. The process of Invisalign utilizes a series of these clear aligners to progressively straighten and improve your orthodontic concerns over a period of two years.
The biggest difference between Invisalign clear braces and traditional metal braces is their appearance. Traditional braces are comprised of metal brackets and wires, while Invisalign uses clear plastic aligners. Another difference: Traditional braces are permanently fixed onto your teeth during your treatment period, while Invisalign trays are removable. Because you can remove your Invisalign trays, Invisalign is also more convenient, especially when it comes to food: You can eat all your favorite foods, and you don’t need to worry about restricting yourself for fear of damaging your braces nor do you need to clean out your brace brackets after snacking. Did you know that traditional braces sometimes leave behind stains once removed? No need for corrective teeth whitening post-braces with Invisalign!
