What is Invisalign?

Invisalign actually uses a series of custom-made clear plastic aligner trays to straighten the teeth. A patient simply has to wear each set of trays for a certain amount of time (usually about 22 hours a day for 2 weeks each) before moving on to the next, and once they have gone through the entire series, that’s it! Their teeth should be nice and straight. It’s just that easy! Thanks to recent advancements, Invisalign is now able to address a wide variety of orthodontic issues, including:
-
Crooked/Crowded Teeth
-
Overbite
-
Underbite
-
Crossbite
-
Gapped Teeth
Invisalign vs. Metal Braces

More and more patients are choosing to go with Invisalign because it’s able to provide a number of unique benefits compared to traditional metal braces:
-
Subtle Appearance:The clear plastic trays of Invisalign are practically invisible on the teeth, meaning the only people who will know that you have it will be you and your dentist!
-
Comfort: Each Invisalign treatment is custom-designed to fit a person’s smile out of smooth plastic, which is much easier on the gums and lips than metal brackets and wires.
-
Convenience: Whenever a patient needs to eat or brush their teeth, they can simply slide an Invisalign tray off. That means you can straighten your teeth without having to alter either your diet or your daily habits.
-
Speed:Invisalign doesn’t have to be regularly adjusted like braces, which means you’ll need to make fewer progress checks. Plus, it has been shown to work faster than traditional orthodontics in many cases.
