Braces without metal

[Brooke 1]

Hi.

I am 19 and my teeth are crowded. I would like them to be straight, but with my job I cannot afford to wear braces with metal wires. I recently heard about Invisalign. I understand these braces have no metal wires, but how do they actually move teeth?

[Dr Georgiana Mirica]

Invisalign consists of series of aligners (almost invisible shields that cover all teeth); these aligners are done after computerized 3D models, each aligner moving teeth slightly to a different position until the final result is obtained.
This Invisalign treatment is ideal for people who cannot afford inaesthetic treatments with their job. Invisalign is also much more confortable than any other orthodontic treatment.
