How invisible braces improve your smile

These braces are made after a 3D mapping of your mouth. A time frame is determined which will be required to correct the position of the non aligned teeth. Then a set of braces are prepared, each for a period of about two weeks. When fixed over the teeth, the braces force the teeth into the new pattern making them look well placed.

The procedure followed is the same as the normal metal braces. However metal braces can mar the looks of the person. Moreover they can cause injury to the teeth and the gums leading to infection. As against this, invisible braces are made of highly transparent but strong material. They can be worn tightly over you teeth for long periods. You must remove them while eating and brushing. They can also be greased well to avoid scratches and chipping of the teeth. Since they remain invisible they are hardly noticed and do not interfere with the natural looks of the wearer.
