Invisible braces are orthodontic devices designed to straighten teeth discreetly, offering a nearly invisible alternative to traditional metal braces. They come in various types, including clear aligners (like Invisalign and CA® CLEAR-ALIGNER), lingual braces (brackets placed behind the teeth), and ceramic braces (tooth-colored brackets), each providing a less noticeable option for correcting tooth alignment. Clear aligners are removable, transparent plastic splints that gently move teeth, making them comfortable and easy to clean. Lingual braces are fixed behind the teeth and invisible from the outside. Ceramic braces use clear or tooth-colored brackets which blend with teeth but are not completely invisible. Invisible braces are popular for both adults and children from around age 6 and can correct various dental misalignments with a cosmetic advantage over traditional braces.
