What makes Invisalign aligners discreet?
Invisalign aligners are made from clear, medical-grade thermoplastic material designed to fit snugly over your teeth. Here are the key features that make them nearly invisible:
- Transparent Material: The clear plastic material blends seamlessly with your natural teeth.
- Custom Fit: Each aligner is custom-made to fit your teeth perfectly, minimising gaps or edges that might catch the light.
- No Metal Parts: Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign doesn’t use brackets or wires, eliminating visible hardware.
When might Invisalign be noticeable?
While Invisalign is designed to be discreet, there are certain situations where they might be slightly noticeable:
- Attachments: Some patients may require small, tooth-coloured attachments to help the aligners grip and move the teeth more effectively. These attachments are subtle but can sometimes be visible up close.
- Staining: Drinking coffee, tea, or red wine without removing your aligners can cause them to stain, making them more noticeable.
- Improper Fit: If aligners aren’t worn as instructed, they may not fit snugly, which can draw attention to them.
Tips to keep Invisalign discreet
- Maintain Proper Hygiene: Clean your aligners daily with the recommended cleaning solution or tablets to keep them clear and free from stains.
- Remove for Eating and Drinking: Always remove your aligners before consuming anything other than water to prevent staining.
- Follow Instructions: Ensure your aligners fit snugly by wearing them for 20-22 hours a day as directed.
- Avoid Smoking or vaping: Smoking and vaping can discolour aligners, making them more noticeable.
Why Invisalign is less noticeable than braces
Traditional braces use metal brackets and wires that are immediately visible when you smile or speak. In contrast, Invisalign aligners are clear and sit flush against your teeth, making them far less noticeable in social or professional settings.
