Hello Interloper!

Braces are commonly used in orthodontics to correct the position of teeth over time, to realign crooked or crowded teeth.
As well as traditional style braces, “invisible braces” in the form of lingual braces or clear aligners have become more popular with both teenagers and adults who wish to avoid any social stigma or teasing associated with having to wear braces on their teeth. Lingual braces are similar to traditional braces, but are fitted behind the teeth so they cannot be seen and clear aligners, including Invisalign® are worn like a mouth guard.
The best candidates for invisible braces are adults or older children who possess excellent oral health.
Lingual braces are capable of treating severe orthodontic conditions but Invisalign® and other clear aligners are usually only ideal for those with mild to moderate conditions.
