What is Invisalign®?
- Invisalign® is the invisible way to
straighten your teeth without braces.
- Invisalign® uses a series of clear
removable aligners (pictured to the left) to straighten your teeth without metal wires or brackets.
- Invisalign® has been proven effective
in clinical research and in orthodontic practices nationwide. In fact, over 70% of all U.S. orthodontists are certified to
treat patients with Invisalign®.
How Does Invisalign®
Work?
- You wear each set of aligners for about
2 weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss.
- As you replace each aligner with the
next in the series, your teeth will move - little by little, week by week - until they have straightened to the final position
your orthodontist or dentist has prescribed.
- You'll visit your orthodontist or dentist
about once every 6 weeks to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned.
- Total treatment time averages 9-15
months and the average number of aligners worn during treatment is between 18 and 30, but both will vary from case to case.
