What is Invisalign and how does it work?

Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that straightens teeth using a system of clear plastic aligners fitted to the patient’s evolving bite. The clear aligners exert force on crooked teeth, gradually shifting them. Patients will be advised to change aligners every one to two weeks as the bite progresses toward an ideal outcome. The numbers of aligners needed is different for each individual.

Invisalign patients will be required to wear their aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day taking them out only to eat and brush teeth.

On the day of the Invisalign fitting appointment. The dentist may cement small handle-like attachments to the teeth; these help the aligners exert proper force on problem areas.  Patients will be asked to see the dentist between 4-6 weeks to see make sure everything is okay and they are happy with the progress.
