How Invisalign Works

Rather than metal brackets and wires, Invisalign straightens smiles with clear, plastic trays. These “aligners” apply pressure to a patient’s teeth to move them to the correct positions. As such, wearing them long enough will give you an aligned and balanced grin.

The Invisalign process involves specific guidelines as well. Firstly, it requires that you wear your aligners for 7-14 days before moving to the next ones. Your trays must also stay on your teeth for 22 hours daily; less time than that can cause treatment delays. If you stick to these (and similar) rules, you'll sport a straight smile in 12-18 months at most.

Who Invisalign Can Help

Invisalign excels at treating mild to moderate dental misalignment. In other words, it can help patients with orthodontic issues like:

Crowded Teeth

Your smile’s health and looks will suffer if your teeth are crowded. That said, Invisalign can handily address this issue by aligning each tooth. Then your grin wouldn’t be all smushed together.

Gaps Between Teeth

Gaps between teeth can cause your mouth to seem (and feel) weak. Still, Invisalign would quickly resolve that situation for you. Its alignment process quickly closes any gaps in your smile.

Bite Alignment

When your bite is crooked, you face a higher risk of TMJ disorder, teeth grinding, etc. The good news is that Invisalign treats this sort of misalignment. Over time, its trays can fix underbites, overbites, crossbites, and more.

The Benefits of Invisalign

With Invisalign from our office, you’d enjoy many great perks. These include the following:

  • Shorter Treatment – Unlike braces that take two years to work, Invisalign can straighten smiles in 12-18 months or less.
  • Discreet Help – Since Invisalign uses clear trays, it doesn’t draw attention to your smile. Many people won’t even notice you have aligners.
  • No Disruptions – Thanks to its removability, Invisalign won’t disrupt your meals or oral care. You can eat meals and clean your smile just as you normally would.
  • Fewer Follow-Ups – While metal braces require twenty to forty follow-up visits, Invisalign only involves six to twelve.
