Invisalign
Hardly seeming like braces at all, these clear aligners are made from see-through plastic. Based on impressions of your teeth, a series of aligners are created to gently nudge your teeth into straighter positions. This is done by pressure points built into the inner surfaces of the aligners. What’s great about Invisalign, other than it’s near invisible appearance once they are on your teeth, is that they are removable. Whenever you eat or drink anything other than plain water you pop them off, enjoy your meal or beverage, clean your teeth and then pop them back on again. Invisalign clear braces in Harley Street are easy to incorporate into your lifestyle and work well for mild to moderate misalignments.
If Invisalign isn’t for you
Severe misalignments aren’t something Invisalign can handle but that doesn’t mean you have to wear conspicuous metal braces because we’ve got the ultimate in inconspicuous metal braces: lingual braces. They are fixed metal braces attached to the backs of your teeth, hidden from view.
