How Invisalign Works

Invisalign consists of a series of thin plastic aligners that are meticulously crafted to fit your smile. These aligners get tighter and tighter as they proceed, gradually pushing the teeth into their correct position.

Invisalign trays are removable, but are designed to be worn for around 22 hours a day in order to see optimal results. You’ll wear each set of trays you’re given for a week or two before moving on to the next one. After anywhere from 12-18 months, you should be able to enjoy a perfectly white smile!

Who Invisalign Can Help

Invisalign is powerful, but there are some conditions that they aren’t necessarily best-suited for. Typically, they are used to deal with mild to moderate cases of malocclusion. Here are some conditions that they can help you with.

Crowded Teeth

Crowded teeth don’t look the best, but they also make the teeth a little bit harder to clean. Invisalign clear aligners can gradually move overlapping teeth into a correct position.

Gaps Between Teeth

Gapped teeth don’t necessarily cause health problems, but they can impact your confidence in how your smile looks to others. Invisalign can smoothly and easily move the teeth together.

Bite Alignment

Overbites and underbites impact you appearance, but more than that, they can lead to chronic jaw issues. People with misaligned bites have higher rates of tooth grinding and TMJ, both of which can lead to substantial discomfort.

While there are some serious bite problems Invisalign can’t address on its own, it is capable of dealing with some kinds of overbites and underbites.

The Benefits of Invisalign

Invisalign is a great method of dealing with orthodontic issues for those patients who are dissatisfied with traditional orthodontics. Invisalign aligners can be removed at any time, making cleaning easy and skirting the dietary restrictions associated with traditional braces.

The treatment is also generally completed faster than traditional braces, and with fewer check-in visits to the dentist. Ultimately, the convenience and comfort of Invisalign simply cannot be beat!
