Understanding multifunctional invisible braces

Clear aligners are also called invisible braces that work in a way to treat overcrowded teeth, spaces, overbite, underbite, or any other problem. These braces are not like the regular braces that you may know, as they work with clear plastic trays specially designed for your teeth.

How do they work?

Invisible and clear braces move your teeth into the desired locations. Here's how they function:

Consultation and customization: For diagnosis and treatment planning, your orthodontist will make an impression on your teeth. These impressions are then used to design the aligners.

Wearing aligners: You get several aligners that are customized to shift your teeth in small distances towards the final position. Generally, you are supposed to use the aligner for one to two weeks before they graduate to the next one on the list.

Monitoring progress: Such check-ups help ensure that your teeth align as expected. Your orthodontist may also modify your treatment plan during your treatment.

Completion: When the treatment is over, people wear retainers to ensure that their teeth do not shift back to their original positions.
