Firstly what is Invisalign?

Invisalign treatment is the process of providing one or more clear and removable aligners (Braces). They are made of a specific plastic material called SmartTrack engineered especially for Invisalign treatments. Invisalign is a process that is used to align teeth without invasive measures.

Using a GDC-approved dental material with no BPA or BPS, Latex or Gluten – Your dentist will create a thin, clear and snug fitting dental aligner that it is comfortable and effective. This treatment is more and more popular because it is much less invasive and restrictive than traditional metal braces.

Is Invisalign Painful?

It is not painful to fit or to use, but it can apply pressure to your mouth and teeth in order to encourage straightening. You may be aware of this but it should not be too uncomfortable. Invisalign is virtually inviable, these clear braces, provide a manageable teeth straightening system – you can floss and brush without any difficulty because the aligners can be easily be removed for your daily hygiene routine.
