What Is Invisalign®?

Invisalign® aligners are an orthodontic treatment designed to straighten teeth without using traditional braces. These aligners are made of a clear material made of plastic that fits perfectly over the teeth, gently shifting them into the desired position over time. The Invisalign® treatment process typically begins with a consultation with an orthodontist or dentist who is trained in Invisalign®. The orthodontist will create a customized treatment plan based on the patient's needs and goals, using digital images of the patient's teeth and jaw.

Features and Benefits of Invisalign®

They Are Custom-Designed

The Invisalign® aligners are then customized to fit the patient's teeth, with each set of aligners designed to shift the teeth into the desired position gradually. The aligners are typically worn for 20-22 hours per day and are switched out for a new set every 1-2 weeks as the teeth shift.

They Are Invisible

One of the main benefits of Invisalign® clear aligners is that they are virtually invisible when worn, making them a popular choice for adults and teens who are self-conscious about wearing traditional braces. They have the added advantage of being removable, which makes it easier for the user to eat, brush their teeth, and floss than traditional braces.

They Can Treat Most Orthodontic Problems

Invisalign® clear aligners effectively treat many orthodontic issues, including crowding, spacing, and bite problems. However, they may not be suitable for all patients, particularly those with more severe orthodontic issues.

The Final Word

Overall, Invisalign® clear aligners are a popular and effective option for straightening teeth and improving oral health, offering a more discreet and comfortable alternative to traditional braces.
