Invisalign® offers a modern, comfortable, and virtually invisible way to straighten your teeth. Below, we’ve answered some common questions to help you better understand how Invisalign® works and why it might be the right choice for you.
Invisalign® is a modern orthodontic treatment that uses a series of clear, custom-made aligners to gradually move teeth into their proper positions. These aligners are designed to fit snugly over your teeth and are nearly invisible when worn. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign® offers a more discreet and comfortable option for straightening teeth in both teens and adults.
Your Invisalign® journey begins with digital impressions of your teeth, which are sent to a specialized lab. Using advanced 3D technology, a series of clear aligners is custom-crafted to guide your teeth into alignment. You’ll wear each aligner for about two weeks, gradually progressing to the next set in the series. Most patients need between 18 and 30 aligners, depending on their unique treatment plan. Regular check-ins every six weeks help ensure that your teeth are moving as planned, with treatment typically completed in under two years.
Invisalign® aligners are virtually invisible and offer a smooth, comfortable fit, so there’s no irritation to your gums or cheeks. Because they’re removable, you can eat your favorite foods and easily brush and floss without the hassle of wires and brackets. Plus, the custom design means your treatment could be shorter than with traditional braces, offering a faster path to a beautiful, straight smile.
