Invisible braces are the same as the regular braces, however, it enables you to smile freely unlike the ordinary braces since they are not noticeable to others. Invisible braces do the same job as any orthodontic braces would but it doesn’t let any other individual know about your dental treatment. They are placed at the back of the patient’s teeth, i.e., facing one’s tongue which gives you the ease to display your beautiful smile, constantly.

Invisalign, lingual braces (braces placed from behind the teeth) and clear braces come under invisible braces.

While invisible braces may not be appropriate for certain misalignment cases or the complex bite issues that are better addressed by traditional orthodontics, invisible braces can be utilized to treat the following conditions:

• Overbite or overjet
• Crowded or widely spaced teeth
• Crooked teeth

Invisible braces are intended for adults and older teenagers but are not suggested when baby teeth remain. Children and younger teenagers faced with orthodontic issues will require traditional metal braces with brackets/wires on the front of the teeth. However, only the dentist or orthodontist can determine if you are a candidate.

Length of treatment

The length of treatment relies upon your situation and the type of invisible braces you are wearing. Commonly, braces are worn from 18 to 24 months, however, they are now and then worn longer.

Metal braces work the best since they are made using the strongest materials. Ceramic braces, while solid and better looking, regularly take additional time since they are not as strong as metal braces. Inside braces likewise can take more time to work efficiently.

The treatment times with clear aligners fluctuate. For instance, Invisalign treatment, normally requiring 20 to 30 aligners for the upper and lower teeth, usually averages 9 to 15 months to finish.
