Invisible Aligners Available in Borras

A series of custom-made, near-invisible plastic trays can move teeth gradually into position. Among Borras patients, they are the default request for anyone self-conscious about braces. You wear the set in order, each one nudging the teeth a fraction closer to the planned result. The technique works best for mild-to-moderate cases in an otherwise healthy mouth.

How Do Aligners Compare to Braces?

The headline advantage over fixed braces is discretion — trays are nearly invisible. Being removable means no dietary restrictions and easier cleaning, but that same removability is the risk: it only works if you wear them.

Pricing tracks case complexity more than brand. In Borras, expect aligners to sit close to brace pricing; the important comparison is what each quote includes, not the headline figure.
