Invisible braces (Invisalign, Orthocaps)

Something personal, something invisible: Invisalign or Orthocaps

Invisalign is the latest system for straightening teeth. It uses transparent braces, which are practically invisible. The braces are made on the basis of high technologies and are strictly customized for the patient. They can be removed and put back meaning that it is much easier to maintain mouth hygiene which proves rather difficult, if the patient wears fixed metal brackets. The braces are replaced once every two weeks depending on the results of treatment until – after several months or a year – the desired esthetics of your smile has been achieved.
