Invisalign and braces give your teeth better position, improve their look and ensure their proper function. These days cosmetic dentistry is more popular than ever. Not only we want to have healthy teeth but we also want our teeth to look good. Invisalign is a popular cosmetic procedure that helps you straighten your teeth without having anybody to even notice.

Braces
Dental braces consists of metal brackets that are attached to your teeth. They are tied together by wires and tiny rubber bands. Your orthodontist or other dental professional is responsible for affixing the braces on your teeth.
Invisalign
Invisalign, as the name suggests, are designed to be invisible (that is why they are also called clear braces). Invisalign 
trays are made from BPA-free virtually clear plastic and are worn over your teeth. Your certified Surrey Invisalign provider will use x-rays and impressions to create a 3-D image of your teeth which will enable him to create custom made aligner trays for you. There are no significant risks associated with wearing Invisalign clear braces. In addition they can not only straighten your teeth but also fix your jaw problems.
