With Invisalign, you can straighten your teeth without metal braces. Invisalign straightens teeth using a series of custom made, nearly undetectable aligners. And it’s been proven effective in both clinical research and practices nationwide. So whether your teeth are crowded, too far apart or have shifted since wearing braces, Invisalign will give you a new reason to smile.
Upon an initial examination, doctor will advise you if Invisalign is right for you. If so, he will write a treatment plan and take an impression of your teeth, which are submitted to Invisalign. Using the latest advances in 3-D computer technology, Invisalign carefully translates instructions into a series of precisely customized aligners.
Then, you wear each set of aligners for about two weeks, moving your teeth, gradually – week by week, millimeter by millimeter – until you’ve achieved the intended result: straighter teeth. Generally, you will visit doctor for Invisalign no more then you would with traditional metal braces and the length of treatment is about the same.
Because there are no metal wires and brackets, Invisalign is comfortable. And because the trays are removable: eating, brushing and flossing are no problem. It is a convenient way to straighten your teeth, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods and smile without holding back. With Invisalign, there’s nothing to hide. It’s recommended that you wear your aligners full-time, day and night, except to eat, brush and floss your teeth – or as directed by your doctor.
The duration of treatment depends on the severity of your case, which determines the number of Aligners you need. However, the average is about 12 months, but only your doctor determines the length of your treatment.
