Instead of using traditional brackets and wires to move teeth into alignment, Invisalign uses clear plastic aligners. The aligners fit snugly against your teeth, gently moving them over time.
According to your treatment plan, you'll achieve your desired results by wearing your clear aligners for at least 20 to 22 hours per day. Then, you'll move to the next set of aligners in the series every one to three weeks.
While everyone's needs differ, most patients achieve their desired results within 10 to 18 months of treatment.
You can remove the aligners for meals, brushing, and flossing, making home care during treatment with Invisalign simple.
The Advantages of Choosing Invisalign to Straighten Your Teeth
Clear aligners with Invisalign offer our patients several benefits that they love:
- Comfort—Clear aligners are smooth and much more comfortable to wear than metal brackets and wires.
- Discretion—Since aligners are clear, they're essentially invisible, and no one will notice your orthodontic treatment.
- Freedom—You'll enjoy the freedom to eat all the foods you love with Invisalign since aligners are removable.
- Simplicity—Caring for your smile with daily brushing and flossing is simple with removable aligners.
