As a result, people are not limited to choosing traditional fixed orthodontic appliances composed of nickel-titanium alloy archwires and metal brackets. More and more people choose bracketless invisible braces that are beautiful, comfortable and easy to remove.
[0003] Bracketless invisible orthodontic technology is one of the cutting-edge technologies in the field of orthodontics.
