What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a popular brand of clear aligners. These trending orthodontic treatments use a series of clear, removable appliances to straighten teeth and correct bite issues. These transparent trays are customized according to the impressions of your oral cavity.
How does Invisalign work?
Here is how Invisalign works and what makes it unique.
- Your dentist or orthodontist will create a custom treatment plan based on your specific needs and desired outcomes.
- A digital scan or impression of your teeth will be taken to create a 3D computer model of your mouth.
- Using advanced computer software and technology, your dentist will make out the precise movements of your teeth throughout the treatment process.
- A series of custom-made clear aligners will be created for you.
- Each set is supposed to be worn for about 1 to 2 weeks for 20 to 22 hours per day.
- These aligners will be periodically replaced by new aligners by your dentist.
- Each set will exert gentle and gradual pressure on your teeth to shift them into the desired position.
- You are expected to have periodic check-ups with your dentist to monitor your progress.
What are the benefits of Invisalign?
- Invisalign is removable thus there are no limitations to what you eat. These aligners can be removed easily while eating.
- The aligners are clear and virtually invisible. Thus they are aesthetically superior and do not draw attention while you wear them.
