What is Invisalign® and How Does it Work?

If you’re considering orthodontics, Invisalign® offers a discreet and comfortable alternative to traditional braces. Learn how these clear aligners work and whether they’re right for you.

  1. Clear Aligners – Invisalign® uses custom-made, transparent plastic aligners that fit snugly over your teeth.

  2. Removable – Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign® aligners can be removed while eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing.

  3. Custom Treatment Plan – A dentist or orthodontist creates a personalized treatment plan using 3D imaging technology.

  4. Gradual Teeth Movement – Each set of aligners gradually shifts the teeth into their desired position over time.

  5. Changed Every Few Weeks – Aligners are replaced every 1-2 weeks with a new set to continue the adjustment process.

  6. Comfortable and Smooth – The aligners are made from a smooth, BPA-free plastic, reducing irritation to gums and cheeks.

  7. Faster Treatment Time – Treatment duration varies but typically ranges from 6 to 18 months, depending on individual cases.

  8. Predictable Results – Advanced digital planning allows patients to see a preview of their expected results before starting treatment.

  9. Fewer Dental Visits – Invisalign® requires fewer check-ups compared to traditional braces, usually every 6-8 weeks.

  10. Suitable for Many Cases – Invisalign® can correct mild to moderate orthodontic issues, including crowding, gaps, and bite problems.
