Braces are inevitable for some of us. But the main disadvantage of braces is how they affect your appearance, especially if you are an adult. Invisalign is the next best solution to braces.
If you want to avoid attention to your mouth while still in treatment, Invisalign is your solution. It is invisible, comfortable to wear, and are removable so that you can eat, drink, brush and floss as usual.
