How Does Invisalign® Work?
Invisalign aligners offer a discreet orthodontic treatment option for those looking to straighten their smile without the use of traditional metal brackets and wires. Instead, the Invisalign system uses custom-made, computer-generated plastic aligners to gradually straighten teeth. Each set of aligners is precisely designed to make small adjustments to the alignment of your teeth. By switching to a new set of aligners approximately every two weeks, your teeth will gently and gradually move into their proper positions. Regular visits to our office will ensure your treatment progresses as planned.
The Invisalign® Process
During your initial visit, we will assess whether you are a suitable candidate for Invisalign clear aligners. This treatment is often ideal for adults and teenagers seeking a virtually invisible orthodontic solution. Besides being discreet, Invisalign aligners are comfortable, made from smooth, thin plastic, and are removable. This feature allows you to easily take them out for eating, brushing and flossing.
