What it is
Invisible orthodontics uses custom-made clear aligners that move teeth gradually, within our orthodontics area. It’s the most popular option among adults and teenagers looking for discretion and comfort.
Advantages over braces
They can be removed to eat and brush your teeth, are practically unnoticeable and, since they have no wires, avoid rubbing and mouth sores. For more complex bite issues, we assess whether braces are a more suitable option.

Frequently asked questions
Is invisible orthodontics just as effective as braces?
For most cases of misalignment, yes. For more complex bite issues, we assess at the initial consultation which option best suits your case.
How many hours a day do the aligners need to be worn?
Between 20 and 22 hours a day is recommended, removing them only to eat and brush, since wear time directly affects how quickly treatment progresses.
Are they noticeable when speaking?
They're practically unnoticeable and most patients get used to speaking normally within a few days.
