What is Invisalign and How Does it Work?

It can have long-term positive impacts on the appearance of your smile and help you to boost your self-confidence.

How does it work?

It works by using clear aligners to slowly move your teeth into a better position. The aligners are made of a blend of plastic and fit onto your teeth like moulds. The sets of aligners are manufactured into a solid piece of plastic that is strong enough to adjust your teeth into their ideal positions. Most people undergoing Invisalign treatment will change to a new set of aligners every two weeks. However, this timeframe may be longer or shorter depending on your specific circumstances.

The clear aligners are almost invisible to others, which means you can have Invisalign treatment without anyone even knowing. Their clear nature is one of the main reasons they are a preferred teeth straightening solution compared to metal braces.

To get started with Invisalign, Your dentist will need to examine your mouth to ensure you are a suitable candidate for Invisalign clear aligners, and once this is complete, they can offer more detailed information about treatment.
