It is a series of clear, removable aligners that certified orthodontists use as an alternative to traditional braces. The most obvious advantage of the treatment is cosmetic: the aligners are completely transparent. The patients have to wear them 23 hrs/day. The aligners have to be removed only to eat, drink and to clean the teeth.
Not all malocclusion can be treated with this type of appliance and the duration of treatment depends on each individual problem.
The cost of treatment is very similar to conventional fixed appliance and includes a large part of lab work.
