What is Invisalign?
Invisalign are customised, plastic teeth aligners that gradually straighten teeth without the need for metal or wire. These clear braces are virtually invisible, removable and won’t interfere with eating, brushing, or flossing your teeth!
Invisalign is suitable for adults and teenagers with crooked, crowded teeth or teeth with uneven or wide spaces. In addition to teeth straightening, Invisalign can help fix common bite problems including overbites, underbites and crossbites.
