All the orthodontic appliances offered at Oldham Orthodontics will do an excellent job at aligning your teeth. However cosmetically they all offer variances in visibility.

Invisalign is a clear tray aligner system that is fitted exactly over your teeth. They are completely transparent so your natural tooth colour is visible through them making them a brilliant cosmetic option.
