Invisalign

The clear choice for a straighter smile

Invisalign

Invisalign is a brand of clear aligners used to straighten teeth and correct bite issues without the need for traditional metal braces. Invisalign aligners are made of a clear plastic material and are custom-designed to fit each patient’s teeth. The treatment involves a series of these aligners that gradually move the teeth into the desired position.

The Invisalign treatment process typically starts with a consultation with an orthodontist or dentist who is trained in Invisalign treatment. During the consultation, the orthodontist or dentist will evaluate the patient’s teeth and determine if Invisalign is a suitable treatment option.

If Invisalign is chosen, the orthodontist or dentist will take digital scans or impressions of the patient’s teeth to create a 3D model. Using this model, the orthodontist or dentist will design a customized treatment plan and a series of aligners that will gradually shift the teeth into the desired position.

The aligners are worn for 20-22 hours per day and are changed every 1-2 weeks, depending on the treatment plan. Treatment time can vary depending on the individual case, but most people wear the aligners for 6-18 months.

Invisalign aligners are removable, which means that they can be taken out for eating, brushing, and flossing. This makes it easier to maintain good oral hygiene during treatment. Invisalign is also generally more comfortable than traditional braces because there are no wires or brackets to irritate the mouth.

Overall, Invisalign is a popular and effective option for straightening teeth and correcting bite issues. However, it is important to discuss all treatment options with a qualified orthodontist or dentist to determine the best course of treatment for each individual case. Invisalign clear aligners offer multiple benefits over conventional braces like:

Appearance: They are practically invisible throughout the treatment.

Comfort: They are generally much more comfortable than traditional brackets and wires.

Convenience: Since they are removable, you can perform better teeth cleaning.

Duration: In most cases, treatment time is less than traditional braces.

Predictability: Invisalign uses advanced computer technology to plan out the movements of your teeth, which means that you can see a virtual representation of what your teeth will look like at the end of treatment before you even begin.
