Invisible options like ceramic braces and fixed lingual braces are excellent for treating more complex problems but for more minor issues, clear aligners can also be suitable.

Clear aligners such as Invisalign use pressure to move the teeth into more desirable positions. Braces are tightened periodically until the final outcome is achieved. With clear aligners, however, the current appliances are exchanged for new adjusted ones at regular intervals to keep the teeth moving towards their ideal positions. The number  of sets of aligners used over the course of treatment will vary depending on the complexity of the correction, but they are replaced about every two weeks.

When fitted in your mouth, clear aligners are discreet and will go unseen in most social situations. The appliances are removable but are designed to be worn at all times when not eating, brushing or doing an activity that may damage them such as contact sports.
It is important that you follow the treatment plan as directed by your specialist  orthodontist for the aligners to be effective.

More complex corrections can be treated with clear aligners but we usually only recommend them for minor issues. We appreciate that aligners appeal to patients who find the idea of braces too invasive, however, and we are happy to discuss this as an option in these cases.
