Invisalign Cuffley
Invisalign is a modern orthodontic treatment that uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually straighten teeth. Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign aligners are made from a smooth, transparent plastic material that fits snugly over the teeth, making them nearly invisible. The aligners are custom-made for each patient and are replaced every one to two weeks to gently shift the teeth into their desired position.
One of the main advantages of Invisalign is its convenience and discretion. Because the aligners are removable, patients can eat, drink, brush, and floss without restrictions, which promotes better oral hygiene during treatment. Invisalign is commonly used to correct issues such as crowding, spacing, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. With proper use and regular dental checkups, patients can achieve effective results, often in less time than traditional braces.

- Comfortable Fit: Made from smooth, BPA-free plastic, Invisalign aligners are custom-fitted and less likely to irritate gums and cheeks compared to metal brackets and wires.
- Fewer Dental Visits: Invisalign typically requires fewer checkups and adjustments than traditional braces, saving time and offering more convenience.
