Can You See the Aligners?

Invisible Braces: Can You See the Aligners?

Many people ask “Can You See the Aligners?” because the aligners have a well-deserved reputation for being nearly invisible. This has meant that this smile-straightening solution has become a popular type of nearly-invisible braces option for social-conscious teenagers and face-to-face business-people alike. Clear aligners allow you to smile and laugh freely or conduct critical business meetings without feeling self-conscious about the appearance of your teeth. With this advanced, modern orthodontic solution, you can address a wide variety of smile needs. Orthodontists can treat overcrowded teeth, gaps between the teeth, overbites, underbites and other misalignments more conveniently than ever before. All without feeling the need to cover your smile to hide obvious dental accessories.

In terms of whether or not you can see them – that probably depends who you ask!

Perhaps the best way to answer this is to show you pictures of actual patients wearing their aligners and let you decide for yourself!

Comfortable, Convenient and Discrete

Aside from being subtle and nearly invisible, these aligners are also comfortable and easy to maintain. Patients can remove the trays for as long as a couple of hours a day, certainly one of the advantages of invisible braces. However to continue to effectively move teeth into the desired position, patients should wear their aligners for a minimum of 20-22 hours per day. They are so effective they can completely transform your smile in as little as six months. The average treatment time is usually a six to eighteen-month long timeframe. Using clear aligners, you can now get results more comfortably, conveniently and discretely.
