Understanding Invisalign Treatment

Invisalign has become a popular choice for orthodontic treatment, offering a more discreet and convenient alternative to traditional braces. Understanding the basics of Invisalign treatment is essential for ensuring a successful outcome.

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a type of orthodontic treatment that uses clear aligners to straighten teeth. These custom-made aligners are virtually invisible and are designed to gradually shift the teeth into the desired position.

How does Invisalign work?

Getting an Invisalign begins with a consultation with an orthodontist who will create a 3D digital image of the patient’s teeth. This image is used to design a series of custom aligners that will be worn for about 20 to 22 hours per day. Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks before being replaced with the next set in the series, gradually moving the teeth into the desired position.
