What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a type of orthodontic treatment. Just like braces, Invisalign works to correct the alignment of your teeth without the metal brackets cemented on your teeth. Treatment involves using a set of clear aligners that are created with an impression of your teeth. Each aligner is set to pull your teeth into a new position. The number of aligners for each patient will differ based on how severe the misalignment is, but the process is expected to last up to 10-12 months. 

What is the Procedure? 

Starting Invisalign is a quick and simple process. On your first consultation, the dentist will talk to you about your desired results and see if clear aligners will work for you. If you are a good candidate, the dentist will make 3D impressions of your teeth. The impressions will be used to create the custom aligners. Each set of aligners will move you closer to the desired result. With each visit to the dentist, you will receive a new set of aligners.
