Invisalign Aligners & Their Benefits

Invisalign aligners are a popular and effective alternative to traditional metal braces. They help straighten teeth and fix other dental issues, such as overcrowding, gaps between teeth, and bite misalignment. However, they are not suitable for complex cases. 

They are custom-made from medical-grade clear plastic, designed to fit snugly over your teeth, gradually shifting them into the desired position.

Why choose to straighten your teeth with Invisalign aligners? They are:

Nearly invisible, making it a discreet & attractive option for those who may feel uncomfortable wearing metal braces.
Removable at any time, allowing you to eat, brush, and floss your teeth as usual.
Comfortable to wear, with no sharp edges or wires to irritate the inside of your mouth.
Require fewer office visits, making them a convenient option for those with busy schedules.
Finally, the patient sees upfront the final result, since a virtual treatment plan shows the series of movements your teeth will go through and the final result.

Clear Braces & Their Benefits

Clear braces is an orthodontic treatment option that uses clear or tooth-colored brackets and wires to gradually shift teeth into the appropriate position. They can be made of sapphire or ceramic.

Unlike traditional metal braces, clear braces blend in with the natural color of your teeth, making them a more discreet option for those who want to improve their smile. Yet, they offer similar benefits to traditional metal braces in terms of effectiveness.

Why choose to straighten your teeth with clear braces? They:

Are nearly invisible and not easily noticeable, making them a popular choice for adults and teenagers.
Are comfortable to wear , as they are made of smooth materials, reducing the likelihood of irritation or discomfort in your mouth.
Require fewer office visits than traditional metal braces, making them a convenient option for those with busy schedules.

Underbite – when the teeth in the lower jaw are in front of those in the upper jaw.
Overbite – when the upper jaw partially or completely covers the lower jaw.
Open Bite – some teeth in the upper and lower jaw do not meet.

Frequently Asked Questions

What orthodontic treatments do you offer?

Traditional metal braces – reliable and effective for complex cases.
Clear braces – discreet ceramic brackets that blend with natural teeth.
Invisalign® clear aligners – removable and nearly invisible aligners for comfort and aesthetics.

Can I wear my Invisalign only at night?
No. Invisalign® aligners must be worn 20–22 hours per day, including while sleeping.

Wearing them only at night will slow down tooth movement, prolong treatment, and affect results. Aligners should only be removed when eating, brushing, or flossing to ensure the best outcome.

How many hours a day should Invisalign be worn?
Invisalign® should be worn for 20–22 hours a day. You should remove them only when eating, drinking anything other than water, or brushing your teeth.

Each aligner set is usually worn for 1–2 weeks before switching to the next.
Your orthodontist monitors progress and adjusts treatment as needed.

Consistency is crucial. Wearing them less than recommended can delay treatment or compromise results.

Is it OK to leave Invisalign out for a few hours?
Invisalign® aligners should not be left out for long periods — they must be worn 20–22 hours per day.

Brief removal for meals or special occasions is acceptable.
Always brush your teeth before reinserting the aligners.
Leaving them out too long may cause teeth to shift incorrectly and extend treatment time.

Consistency and discipline are key to successful Invisalign treatment.

Can I leave my Invisalign out for a day?
No. Leaving Invisalign® out for an entire day can cause significant setbacks.

It can slow or reverse progress, as teeth may shift back.
If aligners were left out too long, contact your orthodontist for guidance.
You may need to wear the previous aligner set to stabilize teeth before resuming treatment.

Success with Invisalign relies entirely on consistent wear as prescribed.

What are the negatives of clear braces?
While clear braces are aesthetically appealing, they have some potential drawbacks:

Durability: More fragile than metal braces; can chip or break more easily.
Discoloration: Ceramic brackets may stain over time.
Treatment time: May take slightly longer than metal braces.
Cleaning: Require extra oral hygiene care to prevent buildup.
Cost: Typically more expensive due to specialized materials.

Discuss with your orthodontist whether clear braces are the right choice for your lifestyle and goals.

Do clear braces break easily?
Clear braces can be more fragile than metal ones, as they’re made of ceramic or composite material.

They may break if you:
Eat hard or sticky foods.
Play sports without using a mouthguard.
Neglect proper cleaning.

If a bracket breaks, contact your orthodontist immediately to prevent discomfort or treatment delays.

Do clear braces take longer?
Yes, sometimes clear braces require slightly longer treatment than metal ones.

Because ceramic materials are less rigid than metal, they apply gentler pressure on teeth, which can slow movement in some cases.

However, treatment time depends largely on the complexity of your case and your adherence to your orthodontist’s instructions.

What is the price for Invisalign orthodontics in Cyprus?
The cost of Invisalign treatment in Cyprus typically ranges between 1400€ and 4400€.

Prices depend on:
The complexity of your case.
The total number of aligners required.
Treatment duration and provider expertise.

The severity of the dental issue.
