A medical device company today announced the launch of an 'Invisalign System', through which a person's teeth can be straightened by custom-made, invisible and removable aligners without the use of braces.
"The Invisalign System is a virtually invisible treatment that uses an innovative approach to effectively straighten a patient's teeth.
"Invisalign treatment uses our unique SMARTForce technology to create a series of custom-made removable aligners for patients," Julie Tay, Vice-President and Managing Director (Asia Pacific) of Nasdaq-listed Align Technology said here.
"All you have to do is to wear these aligners, made of a virtually invisible plastic, over their teeth to gradually move them to the ideal position," Tay said.
Asked what kinds of dental cases can be treated with Invisalign, Tay said it is suitable for most types of malocclusions (imperfect positioning of the teeth when the jaws are closed).
Invisalign aligners are to be removed while eating or drinking, she said.
