Introduction to Invisalign
Invisalign has revolutionized the orthodontics industry by providing a clear, removable alternative to traditional metal braces. Since its introduction, Invisalign has become increasingly popular due to its ability to straighten teeth without the noticeable hardware of braces.
The system uses a series of custom-made, clear aligners to gradually move teeth into the desired position. Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks before being replaced by the next set in the series, making the treatment both effective and discreet.
How Invisalign Works
Invisalign and other clear aligners operate on the principle of gradual, controlled force to shift teeth into their ideal positions. The process begins with a comprehensive digital scan of your mouth, which is used to create a precise 3D model. This model helps in designing a personalized treatment plan that outlines the movement of your teeth from their current position to the desired alignment.
Patients receive a series of clear, BPA-free plastic aligners that fit snugly over their teeth. These aligners are worn for 20-22 hours a day and can be removed for eating, brushing, and flossing. Approximately every two weeks, patients switch to a new set of aligners, each slightly different from the last, to continue progressing through the treatment plan. Regular check-ups with the orthodontist ensure that the treatment is on track and adjustments are made if necessary.
