At our dental practice, we are committed to providing our patients with the latest and most effective dental treatments. Invisalign Weybridge is one such treatment that has seen significant advances in recent years. In this article, we’ll explore the evolution of clear braces, from the first generation to today’s state-of-the-art technology, and how we provide treatment at our dental practice. 
First generation clear braces
The first generation of clear braces was introduced in the 1970s. These braces were made of hard plastic and were not very comfortable to wear. As a result, they were not very popular, and only a few patients opted for them. The first generation of clear braces were also not very effective in treating complex dental issues and were typically only used for minor cosmetic improvements.
Second generation clear braces
In the 1990s, the second generation of clear braces hit the market. These braces were made of a more flexible plastic, making them more comfortable to wear. However, they still had limitations in terms of the types of dental issues they could address. They were not suitable for more complex dental issues, such as bite correction and overcrowding.
A game-changing technology
Now available worldwide, Invisalign Weybridge was introduced in 1997, and it revolutionised the clear braces industry. It uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually shift teeth into their correct position. Unlike traditional braces, clear aligners are virtually invisible, making them an ideal choice for those who are self-conscious about their appearance. They are also more comfortable to wear than traditional braces, as there are no brackets or wires to irritate the mouth.
These aligners are made from a special thermoplastic material that is both durable and flexible. The aligners are custom-made to fit each patient’s teeth precisely, ensuring optimal results. The aligners are also removable, which means that patients can continue to eat their favourite foods and maintain their oral hygiene routine without any issues.
Advancements in technology
Today’s technology has continued to evolve, with each new generation of aligners offering more advanced features and greater precision. Clear aligners are now more effective than ever before, and they can be used to treat a wide range of dental issues, from simple misalignments to more complex cases involving bite correction and overcrowding.
Invisalign Weybridge are now designed with precision wings, which allow the aligners to move teeth more precisely and effectively. The wings also help to prevent unwanted movement, ensuring that the teeth move exactly where they need to be. Aligners also have built-in pressure points, which apply gentle pressure to specific areas of the teeth, helping them to move more efficiently.
