What is Invisalign?
Let a Smile Concierge help get you started.
Invisalign is a modern orthodontic treatment option that has become increasingly popular in recent years. It is an innovative method of straightening teeth that uses clear aligners instead of traditional metal braces.
Invisalign is a clear aligner system that is designed to straighten teeth discreetly. It is made up of a series of custom-made, clear plastic trays that are worn over the teeth. The aligners gradually move the teeth into the desired position, with each set of aligners being worn for approximately two weeks.
Invisalign works by using a series of clear aligners that are custom-made to fit your teeth. The aligners apply gentle pressure to your teeth, gradually moving them into the desired position. Each set of aligners is worn for around two weeks before being replaced with the next set in the series.
The Invisalign process starts with a consultation with an Invisalign provider. During this consultation, your provider will assess your teeth and discuss your treatment goals with you. They will then take digital scans of your teeth, which are used to create your custom-made aligners.
Once your aligners have been created, your provider will give you instructions on how to wear and care for them. You will be instructed to wear your aligners for at least 20-22 hours a day, only removing them to eat, drink, brush, and floss.
Throughout your treatment, you will have regular check-ins with your Invisalign provider to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned.
