What is Invisalign ?
Invisalign, as an alternative to braces, is an orthodontic treatment that uses a series of clear, custom-made trays (aligners) to gradually move your teeth to the desired positions and achieve correct teeth alignment.
The dental problems that Invisalign can correct.
Crowded teeth occur when there is not enough space in the upper or lower arch for the teeth to align properly, resulting in teeth overlap, twist, or other alignment issues.
Gapped teeth/Spacing issues are the dental problems when there is extra space between two or more of the teeth.
Overbite/Underbite occur when the upper/lower teeth protrude too far beyond their lower/upper counterparts.
Open bite is a type of teeth misalignment that the upper teeth and lower teeth do not touch each other when the jaws are closed.
Edge-to-edge bite is a type of teeth misalignment that the upper and lower incisiors make contact on their incisal edges when the jaws are closed.
