2. invisible braces: A series of transparent orthotics made by the latest computer technology. It is more beautiful and comfortable to wear. Patients can wear it by themselves, so it is more convenient to clean their teeth without frequent follow-up. The disadvantage is that it is expensive and ineffective for complex malocclusion.
