Invisible orthodontics are transparent plates that are perfectly adhered to the teeth, being an aesthetic alternative that allows the patient to remove them when eating and brushing their teeth.The plates are made by means of a scan of the patient’s mouth that changes each time the teeth align.
There are several reasons for orthodontics.
Some alterations are hereditary, while others are acquired.
- Dental crowding
