Yes. It's hard to notice someone is wearing them and they give you good results as long as you wear them 22 out of 24 hours a day.
Invisalign and other clear aligner orthodontic therapies are meant to be as see through as possible, however nothing is perfect. The benefit of clear aligner therapy is that you can remove the aligners (trays) whenever is necessary as compared to the fixed "traditional" braces which are cemented onto your teeth. The clear aligners generally require a bit of a learning curve to be able to speak naturally, but it is by far a more natural looking option than traditional braces.
They are hardly noticeable and is why a lot of young adults prefer this method over conventional braces.
Invisalign does look natural. It is as natural as it could be understanding that you do have a layer of clear plastic on your teeth. In my opinion, it is the best of all the clear aligners.
Thank you for a great question. Although it does not look entirely natural to dentists, it is the best available in terms of looking natural. Also, keep in mind that there may be other alternatives to consider.
Hello,
As the age old saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Invisalign usually involves two parts; the clear aligners and the tooth matching attachments put onto the teeth. The clear aligners are usually the same for everyone; however, the attachments vary in which teeth they are on and how many teeth they go on. Most of the time both the aligners and the attachments blend in and they are not noticed (I personally had to stare at my mother-in-laws teeth to figure out if she had the aligners in whenever I saw her). However, some patients do tend to focus on them so they notice them every time they look into the mirror.
The other thing to consider is that most invisalign treatments are completed in 6 months or less. So is it something that can be dealt with for 4-6 months? Hope this helps.
My best to you!
