How does Invisalign work?

The reason Invisalign is so special is instead of using brackets and wires to move the teeth, like most other traditional orthodontic treatments, it utilizes a series of lightweight, see-through plastic aligners. Our patients simply wear an individual set of aligners for about 2 weeks for 20 – 22 hours a day before moving onto the next set, and once they’ve gone through the entire series, their teeth should be perfectly straight.

Benefits of Invisalign

It’s easy to see why so many patients are choosing Invisalign over traditional braces:

• The aligner trays are extremely thin and designed to be 100% clear, meaning they are practically invisible while covering your teeth. You’ll never have to worry about anyone staring at your teeth during treatment.
• Metal braces can irritate the inside of your mouth, Invisalign’s smooth plastic sits easily against the lips, cheeks, and gums. Each tray is created using a 3D scan of your teeth so you can enjoy a comfortable fit.
• With regular braces, you have to alter your diet and teeth brushing routine, but that’s not the case with Invisalign. You can simply remove the trays whenever you eat or brush your teeth.
• In many cases, Invisalign is able to straighten the teeth faster than traditional orthodontics. Most treatments only last about 12 – 18 months, while the average braces treatment time is well over 2 years.
