How Invisalign
Works

What exactly is Invisalign®? Invisalign® is an innovative corrective procedure designed to enhance your smile by straightening your teeth. Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign® offers a discreet alternative. Throughout the treatment process, custom-made aligners are changed approximately every two weeks over a period of 6 to 18 months, or longer depending on your specific dental needs. Similar to dental retainers, Invisalign® gradually aligns and moves your teeth, effectively addressing issues such as gapped teeth, overcrowding, and various bite problems like crossbites and overbites.

Invisalign® differs significantly from traditional braces in terms of convenience and appearance. With Invisalign®, you can easily remove the aligners for brushing, flossing, eating, and drinking, offering a level of flexibility that traditional braces do not provide. Additionally, Invisalign® aligners are virtually invisible, providing a discreet treatment option compared to the noticeable wires and bands of traditional braces. Getting Invisalign® is a straightforward process. Begin by consulting with your dentist to determine your eligibility and discuss the potential benefits for your smile. Digital scans of your teeth will be taken to create a customized treatment plan, allowing you to preview your new smile digitally.

With advanced scanning technology, there’s no need for messy molds or lengthy wait times. Once your custom aligners are ready, you can start wearing them and switch to new sets as your teeth gradually realign with the help of Invisalign®.
