This article is not an advertisement. I would just like to inform you of an alternative to the usual orthopedic procedures used to straighten teeth. This alternative procedure I�m talking about it called invisalign, which consists of a series of clear “aligners.” These aligners are custom-molded to the specific needs of individual patients. These contraptions are then changed every two weeks until the desired result is achieved. Invisalign can treat a wide range of dental issues. Some of said issues are spaces between the teeth, crowding of teeth, overbites, underbites, and even crossbites.

The advantage of these aligners is that they are more aesthetic because they are virtually invisible. They are made of smooth resin so they are less irritating to cheeks and tongue. They are also removable so they can be taken out when the patient needs to eat, drink, brush and floss. This leads to better hygiene while in orthodontic treatment. Invisalign treatment costs an average of $5000 in the United States.
