About invisible braces-
Invisible braces function to treat various dental problems such as widely spaced teeth, cross bites, overbites, under bites and crowded teeth.
These braces should be worn for around 22 hours a day and should only be removed during brushing, eating, flossing and drinking. The treatment in regard to invisible braces takes around 6 to 12 months and in some cases even up to 18 months. The duration for the treatment would entirely depend on the complexity of the individual case.
Some benefits of using invisible braces-
Invisible braces are user friendly: These braces offer a lot of convenience and comfort to the user. These braces use clear plastic aligners instead of metal wires and brackets. The use of invisible braces eliminates pain and discomfort. The aligners which are used for these braces are created using digitized three dimensional imaging techniques, which are set according to the bite in the mouth.

Before the treatment of invisible braces-
First stage: Before the invisible aligners are made for the patient, the dentist would evaluate the positioning of your teeth and smile. The dentist would later on take the mould of teeth and photographs of your smile and teeth from different angles.
Second stage: As for the second stage a 3D display of your teeth would be created, which is done with the help of a CT scan.
Third stage: The movement of your teeth would be taken into consideration, this is created using a software which allows the dentist to visualise a simulation from the present placement of the teeth to the desired position. The simulation aids in serving as a foundation for the design of the invisible braces.
Any sort of orthodontic treatment would require the consultation from a renowned orthodontist. You can attain superior benefits when you inform the orthodontist all about your dental problems.
