Invisalign Dental Bracings
 Invisalign are also known as “clear aligners”; they are clear transparent
orthodontic devices that are used to adjust the form of the teeth. They are a
clear, transparent, and plastic form of traditional dental braces.
 Invisalign clear aligners are not recommended for use on children; clear aligners
are best used for mild to moderate crowding issues—(1-6 mm) and mild to
moderate spacing (1-6 mm). Clear aligners are not recommended for any
issues with jaw bone inconsistencies or any prior problems with conventional
braces.
 The treatment with a clear aligner or invisalign dentist should involve the use of
a dentist with a home-based system; in that way the person can take the molds
of the person’s teeth with a digital tooth scanner. The computerized designers
are worn for twenty hours a day, for two weeks. This will slowly adjust the
patient’s teeth over a period of about thirteen months.
 Invisalign braces have transformed the orthondictics world, patients no longer
have the only option of wearing the ugly metal braces to improve their smiles;
they now have the option of wearing a clear plastic aligner that will shift their
teeth in half the time.
