Invisalign Treatment: A Guide To Straightening Teeth Without Braces

Invisalign Treatment: A Guide To Straightening Teeth Without Braces

Invisalign is a clear, removable aligner that straightens teeth without the need for traditional braces. The aligners are made of a smooth, comfortable plastic that is virtually invisible when worn. Invisalign is an effective alternative to metal braces for both adults and teens. 

The treatment process is simple: first, your dentist or orthodontist will take impressions of your teeth and send them to Invisalign. Next, Invisalign will create a series of custom-made clear aligners based on your dental impressions. 

Finally, you will wear the clear aligner for 20 to 22 hours per day, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. Over time, the aligners will gradually shift your teeth into their desired position. Most people finish their Invisalign treatment within 12 months; however, each case is unique.

Invisalign is a clear aligner system that gradually moves your teeth into the desired position. Each aligner is custom-made for your individual smile and will gently shift your teeth a little bit at a time. You’ll wear each set of aligners for about two weeks before progressing to the next stage in the treatment plan.

The treatment process begins with a consultation with an Invisalign-trained doctor, who will determine whether you’re a good candidate for Invisalign. If you are, they will take X-rays, pictures, and impressions of your teeth, which will be used to create a digital 3D model of your smile. This model is then used to plan your entire treatment from start to finish, so you can see how your teeth will move over time.

Pros:

  • Invisalign is virtually invisible, so people won’t even know you’re wearing them unless you tell them.
  • They are removable, so you can take them out for special occasions or when you need to eat or drink something that isn’t compatible with them.
  • They are more comfortable than traditional braces since there are no metal brackets or wires rubbing against your gums and cheeks.
