Although clear braces are not yet as popular as metal ones, they will soon catch on, a dentist has asserted.
In an interview with Jakarta Globe, Linus Boekitwetan explained how a representative from the Invisalign brand came to train local doctors how to carry out the procedure.
He noted the growing trend was currently popular with people in their 20s, adding around 90 per cent of those who undergo the procedure are women.
Dr Boekitwetan explained to the website how clear braces are made and work.
Firstly, an impression of the teeth is sent to a lab and comes back as a three-dimensional image, showing what the outcome of the procedure will be like.
“It’s pretty amazing. After the 3-D imaging is approved from our end, the lab starts the fabrication of the invisible aligners and sends them back to us,” stated the oral health expert.
“No one will ever be able to tell you have them on. No metal, no wiring, no bending.”
