How Invisalign® Works

The reason Invisalign® is so special is that instead of using brackets and wires to move the teeth, like most other orthodontic treatments, it instead utilizes a series of lightweight, see-through plastic aligners. A patient simply wears an individual set of aligners for about 2 weeks for 20 – 22 hours a day before moving onto the next, and once they have gone through the entire series, their teeth should be perfectly straight.

Invisalign® is capable of correcting most cases of mild to moderate dental misalignment. Here are a few examples of issues that it is often able to address:

Crowded Teeth

Crowded, overlapping teeth can pose a serious threat to your oral health. Fortunately, Invisalign® may be able to shift them so each one has the space it needs to function at its very best.

Gaps Between Teeth

Large gaps between the teeth can leave your gums vulnerable to harm. Plus, many people believe that extra space between the teeth is unattractive. Invisalign® may be able to erase pesky gaps and provide you with a healthier, more attractive smile.

Bite Alignment

Issues like overbite, underbite, crossbite, and open bite can interfere with your facial aesthetics and create oral health problems. Invisalign®, usually with the help of accessories, can address many cases of bite problems.

It is easy to see why so many patients are choosing Invisalign® over traditional braces:

The aligner trays are extremely thin and designed to be 100% clear, meaning they are practically invisible while on the teeth. You should never have to worry about your treatment calling a lot of attention to itself.
Instead of a bunch of metal irritating the inside of your mouth, Invisalign’s smooth plastic sits easily against the lips, cheeks, and gums. Each tray is created using a 3D scan of your teeth so you can enjoy a comfortable fit.
With regular braces, you have to alter your diet and brushing routine, but that is not the case with Invisalign®. You can simply take the trays off whenever you like so you can maintain your daily habits without affecting your treatment.
In many cases, Invisalign® is able to straighten the teeth faster than traditional orthodontics. Most treatments only last about 12 – 18 months, while the average braces treatment time is well over 2 years!
