What is Invisalign Treatment?
Invisalign treatment is a modern orthodontic treatment that uses a series of custom-made, clear aligners to gradually shift teeth into their proper positions. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners do not use metal brackets or wires, making the treatment virtually invisible and more comfortable. Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks before moving on to the next set in the series, allowing the teeth to shift gradually until they reach their desired alignment. Invisalign treatment is a popular choice for adults and teens who want a discreet and flexible option for orthodontic care.
How Does Invisalign Treatment Work?
Invisalign treatment begins with a consultation with our orthodontist, who will assess your teeth and create a personalized treatment plan. Using advanced 3D imaging technology, we will design the aligners to fit your teeth precisely and move them into the desired positions over time. Each set of aligners must be worn for 20 to 22 hours per day, but they can be removed when eating, drinking, brushing and flossing. This flexibility makes Invisalign aligners a convenient option for maintaining oral hygiene and enjoying meals without restrictions.
Benefits of Invisalign Aligners
Invisalign treatment offers several advantages for patients looking for an alternative to traditional braces. These include:
- Virtually invisible: The clear aligners are difficult to detect, allowing patients to straighten their teeth discreetly.
- Removable: Aligners can be removed for eating, drinking and cleaning, providing greater flexibility than traditional braces.
- Comfortable: The smooth plastic aligners are less likely to cause irritation to the gums and cheeks compared to metal braces.
- No food restrictions: Since the aligners can be removed, you can continue to enjoy all of your favorite foods during treatment.
- Improved oral hygiene: Without wires and brackets, brushing and flossing are easier, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease.
