What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a brand of clear aligners: thin, custom-made trays that fit snugly over your teeth. Each set is shaped slightly differently from the last, so the teeth move a small, planned amount at every stage. Because the aligners are clear and removable, most people around you will not notice you are wearing them, and you can take them out to eat, brush and floss as normal.
A registered Invisalign provider in Kozhikode
Solid Smile Dental Suites is a registered Invisalign provider in Kozhikode. Treatment starts with a 3D digital dental scan of your teeth, so there are no impression trays. From the scan, your treatment is planned in Invisalign’s software, and we review each stage before your aligners are made. You can see a preview of the planned movement before you decide to go ahead.
During treatment we see you every six to ten weeks to check the fit, make sure the teeth are tracking as planned and hand over your next sets. Small tooth-coloured attachments are sometimes bonded to a few teeth to help the aligners grip; they are removed at the end.
Invisalign vs braces
| Invisalign aligners | Fixed braces | |
|---|---|---|
| Look | Clear, hard to see | Metal or tooth-coloured brackets |
| Removable | Yes, for eating and brushing | No |
| Relies on | Wearing aligners 20–22 hours a day | Regular adjustment visits |
| Food | No restrictions while aligners are out | Avoid hard and sticky food |
| Often suits | Mild to moderate crowding, gaps and many bite problems | All cases, including some complex movements |
Some people asking about invisible braces in Kozhikode are a good fit for aligners; others will get a more predictable result with fixed braces. We explain the trade-offs honestly at your consultation.
Clear aligners for adults and teenagers
Clear aligners in Kozhikode suit many adults who want to straighten their teeth without changing how they look at work, as well as teenagers whose permanent teeth have come through. People looking for aligners in Calicut often combine treatment with whitening or a wider smile design, straightening the teeth first so any cosmetic work is planned around their final position.
