If you have ever had crowded, gapped or crooked teeth, chances are, at times if not all the time, you\u2019ve felt the need to hide your smile. Perhaps you supress your giggles when in new company. Maybe you cover your mouth on a first date. Or it could be that you\u2019ve trained yourself not to smile in public at all. If you have experienced any of this, you will know how valuable it is to be able to smile and laugh without checking yourself or feeling self-conscious.<\/p>\n<p>Many adults believe that it\u2019s too late for them to get their teeth straightened, but this isn\u2019t the case.

Rather than using brackets and wires to pull the teeth into position, Invisalign uses pressure points inside the aligners to push the teeth into place. The aligners look like thin mouth guards and fit neatly over the teeth and gums. Once they are in place, they are almost invisible. They are also removable, so are taken out for eating and cleaning.
