What are Invisalign^TM Braces?

A popular orthodontic treatment, Invisalign is a brand of aligner trays. They are clear trays made of BPA-free plastic and created using computerized impressions of teeth for a snug fit. Invisalign braces work as a treatment method that uses gentle pressure from the trays to correct the teeth instead of metal wires or brackets. As the treatment progresses, a new set of aligner trays with differing placements are worn in periodic intervals to encourage the continuous gentle shifting of the teeth.
Our dentists in Oxford follow a personalised treatment plan using custom created aligner trays and monitor the progress of the treatment to ensure you get the most out of this innovative orthodontic solution.

Why Invisalign^TM Braces are Perfect

• The crystal clear aligner trays are almost invisible to the eye.
• Comfortable treatment without the painful metals poking inside the mouth, wire tightening, etc.
• Invisalign braces are easily removable during eating and cleaning, so that normal life goes on even with braces.
• There is negligible risk of tooth decay due to enamel damage or due to hygiene of the aligner trays, as they are easily removed for cleaning.
• Custom designed trays fit perfectly without moving and are very comfortable while speaking and eating or drinking.
• Earlier Invisalign was proposed only for mild issues of spacing and crowding, or gap-toothed and crooked alignment but now even complex cases can be addressed with it.
