Orthodontic treatment has come a long way from the early days of bulky metal braces. Traditional braces, made with metal brackets and wires, were once the only option for correcting misaligned teeth. Although effective, they often caused discomfort, food restrictions, and aesthetic concerns, especially for adults seeking discreet treatment. Over the years, advancements in dental technology paved the way for more comfortable and patient-friendly solutions. The introduction of clear aligners transformed orthodontics. When Invisalign was launched in 1997, it brought a revolutionary shift — custom-made, transparent plastic trays that gently move teeth over time. These aligners replaced brackets and wires with a smooth, nearly invisible design, making orthodontic care more appealing to teens and adults alike. Digital scanning, 3D planning, and computer-generated tooth movements further enhanced their precision.
