Invisalign: The ultimate guide to making your teeth straight
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a system of clear aligners that are worn at night by the user. The aligners are then removed in the morning and replaced with new aligners. The aligners are made of a thin clear plastic that is placed between the teeth. The aligners are then worn for a period of time and are then removed and replaced with new aligners.
Invisalign is a type of orthodontic treatment that uses clear aligners to straighten teeth and correct gaps, crowding, and mild bite issues.
Treatment time typically ranges from 6–24 months, depending on the severity of the problem, though there are a number of ways to significantly speed tooth movement.
While Invisalign clear aligners are an option for children, teens, and adults, the orthodontic treatment is most popular with adults who had braces when they were younger and didn’t wear a retainer to keep their teeth from moving. As with metal braces, you’ll need to wear a retainer post-treatment to maintain your new and improved smile.
