Invisible braces

A smile is considered a sign of beauty. It’s a fact that people are more attracted towards smiling faces. Beautiful and aligned teeth are considered a blessing. Some people have misaligned teeth for many reasons, like inheritance, accident or any bad functional habits like thumb sucking; prolonged use of pacifiers, especially in childhood. Correction of malalignment not only makes your appearance more appealing but also improves oral functions such as chewing and speech.

If you are looking for an invisible solution for your or your family member’s crooked or spaced teeth, you are at right place.

What are invisible braces?

Invisible braces are a type of advanced orthodontic treatment that uses clear or nearly invisible materials to correct maligned, crooked, and spaced teeth comfortably and discretely. As their name suggests, they are created to correct tooth alignment without being visible.

Types of invisible braces

Invisible braces are divided into two categories:

1. Fixed invisible braces

2. Removable invisible braces

Fixed invisible braces

Fixed invisible braces are the ones that are permanently fixed by the operator, an Orthodontist, and a patient cannot take them off by themselves. In Fixed Invisible braces, the brackets are fixed onto the teeth with the help of dental cement permanently and can only be removed by the dentist.

Fixed invisible braces include:

  • Ceramic braces

  • Lingual braces

Ceramic braces: These braces use clear or tooth-colored ceramic brackets and wires to blend in with the teeth and make them less noticeable. Ceramic braces are fixed on teeth like metal braces.

Ceramic braces

Lingual braces: Lingual braces, inBrace or Incognito Braces have the same metal wires and brackets as traditional metal or gold braces. Lingual braces are fixed metal braces placed on the back of the teeth, making them completely hidden from view. Lingual braces function in the same way as metal braces. Lingual braces are custom-made by the Dental Laboratory according to the surface of the tooth on which they are bonded. Lingual braces are the most specialized and least common type, as they require special orthodontic skills.

Lingual braces

Removable invisible braces

Removable invisible braces can be taken off by the user by the user. These are plastic trays that are worn by the patient as per the orthodontist’s instructions. These trays are transparent so they are barely noticeable to anyone. Removable invisible braces are called Aligners. Aligners are also known as Invisible Dental Aligners, Transparent braces, Clear braces, invisible Aligners, Aligners Globe, Invisalign, and Clear Aligners.

Removable braces

Invisible Dental Aligners are the most popular ones out of the three and use the latest technology. There are no brackets and wires as in the rest of the other types of invisible braces and these invisible Dental Aligners are virtually invisible. Invisible Dental Aligners are removable invisible plastic trays made from an elastic thermoplastic material that applies pressure to the teeth, progressing them to the desired position. Invisible dental aligners are only custom-made (fabricated according to the individual’s teeth misalignment and jaw issues, teeth, and jaw size) to fit over the teeth and gradually move them into proper alignment. You will be given a series of aligner trays in an Aligners Globe box to wear, typically for about 20-22 hours per day, removing them only for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. You will wear each set of aligners for a specific time, usually around two weeks, before moving on to the next set.
