Metal braces aren’t the only way to straighten your teeth. is an extremely popular and very effective form of orthodontia. These aligners are clear and virtually unnoticeable, allowing you to achieve perfectly aligned teeth gradually without feeling self-conscious about your smile.
How Does Invisalign Work?
The first step is a consultation with our office where we’ll determine whether Invisalign is right for you.
Your treatment will begin with custom-made aligner trays that are perfectly designed to begin shifting your teeth into a better position.
Every few weeks, you’ll swap out your aligner trays for a new set that is closer to your teeth’s optimal appearance. You will need to wear your aligners for 20-22 hours a day in order to see results. This means you can remove them to chew your food or for special occasions, but you must wear them most of the time.
It’s important to keep up with your oral hygiene routine during Invisalign treatment. Bacteria can get trapped in your aligners and make them look yellowed if they’re not cleaned regularly. Brush and floss your teeth in the morning and at night as well as after eating, and clean your aligners each time you clean your teeth.
is perfect for adults who are self-conscious about their teeth but don’t like the appearance of traditional metal braces. Depending on the severity of your bite issues, our dentist might recommend another form of orthodontia. Because of the diligence required to make Invisalign treatment work, aligners are not recommended for younger patients.
