An Overview of the Invisalign Process

Last updated 9 months ago

If you’re considering improving your smile, why not do so discreetly with the Invisalign system of clear aligners? To find out more about how Invisalign works to straighten your teeth quickly and easily, check out the information below.

How Does Invisalign Work?
Invisalign works gradually to reposition teeth via a set of completely customized clear plastic trays. These trays gently and easily move your teeth into a more desirable position for a straight, beautiful smile. You will wear Invisalign trays both during the day and at night, for a minimum of 20-22 hours a day. Conveniently, these trays can be removed for eating, drinking, and maintaining your regular oral care routine of brushing and flossing. Every two weeks, you’ll switch to a new tray as your treatment progresses and your teeth shift into position. You’ll need to see your dentist once every six weeks or so to ensure that your treatment is on track and your teeth remain healthy during the process. Treatment lasts an average of nine to 15 months, with a course of 18-30 trays.

Why Choose Invisalign?
Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign is nearly invisible, meaning no one else will know you’re straightening your teeth. This gives you improved confidence not only in the final result, but also while you are wearing Invisalign. The trays do not impair your speech or the function of your mouth at all, so there is virtually no impact on your everyday life—this is perfect for professionals who rely on making a good impression. Because Invisalign trays can be easily removed, it’s easier to take good care of your teeth and maintain ideal oral health, unlike traditional braces that require extra care and may lead to tooth decay or discoloration.
