Invisalign is a system for aligning teeth that provides an alternative to traditional metal braces. They are a series of clear, removable aligners. This option is often attractive to patients who are opposed to the appearance of braces and are willing to co-operate with given instructions. When considering Invisalign it is important to consider various positive and negative features associated with treatment, including:

• Treatment may be quicker than traditional orthodontics
• Provides less force than traditional metal treatment resulting in less overall pain
• Food can be consumed with out restriction of metallic braces due to the removable nature of the device
• Commitment to wear aligners for a minimum of 20-22 hours per day
• Teeth should be cleaned after eating or drinking, before re-inserting trays.
• Possibility of loss due to removal during eating, drinking, or brushing teeth
