Discretion is one of the key factors when it comes to choosing a straightening brace for your teeth. Unlike the old fashioned fixed metal braces, modern day orthodontic treatments are much less obvious and still just as efficient. One of the most popular braces on the market is the Invisalign brace because it offers straighter teeth with almost completely invisible braces.
The braces are made from one millimetre thick clear plastic that is specially made using computer technology. Each brace is worn for a period of two or three weeks before it is replaced with another. Each retainer has minor adjustments designed to move teeth into position. Because the braces are clear plastic, they are virtually impossible to see unless standing very close to the patient.
Invisalign braces are also completely removable which gives the wearer a much greater degree of flexibility about what they can eat, makes teeth cleaning much easier and doesn’t cause any embarrassment at important social occasions. As long as the retainers are worn for more than 20 hours a day they are completely efficient and capable of straightening teeth up to six-months faster than some metal braces.
For teenagers or young professionals wanting to have straighter teeth but unwilling to sacrifice their appearance for as much as two years, the Invisalign system has provided the perfect solution. You can now have the smile you always wanted without losing any self-confidence. Ask a Leeds dentist for more information about the possibilities of Invisalign braces.
