What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is an invisible orthodontics technique that allows the correction of your teeth to produce an improved smile. Invisalign does not use metal wires as braces do, and they are virtually invisible when being worn. Special trays are custom made for your teeth, and every few weeks you wear a new tray, designed to eventually straighten your teeth.
What does Invisalign help to treat?
Invisalign helps to aesthetically improve the smile by aligning the teeth or moving their position. It can be used to treat:
- Gap teeth
- Underbite
- Crossbite
- Overbite
- Open bite
- Crowded teeth
How does Invisalign work?
Invisalign aligners move the teeth slowly, using custom-made plastic trays that are worn by the patient. Every two weeks the trays are changed to a different size, and over time the teeth eventually straighten.
Aligners must be worn at all times throughout the day and night and they should only be removed when you eat, drink or brush your teeth. These aligners are manufactured with a transparent plastic material tailored to the patient, so they fit perfectly to your teeth.
