What Is Invisalign?
With the use of Invisalign, teeth may be straightened without the usage of metal braces. A system of transparent braces created to order called Invisalign cover your teeth and gradually move them into the right position. They are less apparent than conventional metal braces since they are transparent and removable.
The majority of individuals wish to whiten their teeth but believe that the only choice is to use conventional metal braces. There are no metal brackets or wires to distract from your smile when receiving treatment with Invisalign clear braces. Your teeth may be comfortably, attractively, and precisely aligned with Invisalign transparent braces in half the time it would take with conventional braces. Invisalign is a successful and discrete orthodontic treatment option, whether you are an adult who has put off treatment for years or a parent considering orthodontic treatment for your adolescent.
What Materials Are Used in Invisalign?
The BPA-free plastic Invisalign transparent aligners are far more comfortable than conventional metal braces. Your teeth may be straightened with these specialized transparent aligners, giving you the stunning smile you’ve always desired. We’ll have a consultation with you before we provide you with Invisalign clear aligners so we can go through your smile objectives and what to anticipate from your treatment.

Who Can Wear These Clear Braces ?
Adults and teenagers can both wear Invisalign. In addition to correcting overbites, underbites, open bites, crossbites, and overcrowded teeth, these transparent braces are utilized to narrow spaces between teeth. We can decide if Invisalign is the best orthodontic treatment for you after examining your teeth and taking x-rays of them.
How Do Invisalign Treatments Take Place?
We’ll utilize the examination, x-rays, and a 3D model of your teeth to create a unique treatment plan for you if Invisalign is the best option for your situation. The course of treatment establishes how your teeth must move and how long it will take to align them properly. Your personalized aligners are made in the Invisalign laboratory using the x-rays, 3D model, and images of your teeth. You will be able to observe how Invisalign will gradually fix your orthodontic problems by referring to the 3D representation of your teeth.
What Happens When You Use Invisalign?
You visit our clinic to verify the fit of your first set of aligners and make any required corrections. Except for when you eat, floss, and clean your teeth, you’ll wear your aligners all day, every day. You will be able to momentarily take off your Invisalign braces whenever you need to during the day since they are detachable.
Invisalign is simple to use and seamlessly integrates into your daily routine. You will cover your teeth with the transparent braces after you receive your aligners. Each pair of aligners will be worn for two weeks before you move on to the subsequent set. Your aligners will first fit snugly since they are made to shift your teeth slowly and precisely. Your teeth will progressively reposition themselves after a few days. After some time, you’ll notice that your aligners feel a bit loose. Don’t swap them too soon, even if they start to feel loose. For the whole two weeks, wear them. Your teeth and gums have time to adapt to the new position as a result. Your treatment strategy will be hampered if you switch aligners too soon.
You will visit our office for an appointment every six weeks to have your aligners checked and to see how your treatment is going. These examinations aid us in determining if your treatment plan or the aligners need to be modified.
What Is the Feel of Invisalign?
The ease of using Invisalign aligners is one of the biggest justifications for purchasing them. You should be prepared for some little discomfort when your teeth move since they are changing into a new position, especially with the initial set of aligners. Over the course of a few days, the initial pressure that new aligners impose on your teeth will progressively lessen. Call us if you experience any severe discomfort or pain. To guarantee a correct fit, we’ll make an appointment with you to examine your teeth, gums, and aligners.
What Is the Duration of Your Treatment?
The typical Invisalign treatment period is one year, although treatment times vary depending on each patient’s age and unique demands. As every situation is unique, you’ll get an anticipated treatment time once your teeth have been checked and digital photos have been taken.

What Takes Place After Invisalign Treatment?
We advise you to use a retainer after receiving orthodontic treatment of any kind, whether it was done using Invisalign or another method. Your teeth’s alignment is maintained with a retainer. Your teeth might eventually revert to their original positions if you don’t have it. You might have to temporarily put on aligners once more to realign your teeth if they start to move. Which retainer type is ideal for your particular needs will be determined by us.
