Frequently Asked Invisalign Questions
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a revolutionary teeth-straightening system that invisibly straightens teeth without traditional metal braces. Invisalign is a popular choice for adults who want straighter teeth but don’t want everyone to know they’re wearing braces.
How does Invisalign work?
Invisalign uses advanced 3D computerized imaging and a series of clear, removable aligners to custom-create a straighter, more beautiful smile—often in less time than treatment with traditional metal braces. When used as instructed, the aligners gently and gradually reposition the teeth to achieve the smile you desire.
How does Invisalign realign teeth?
Invisalign realigns crooked teeth by exerting a gentle controlling force via a series of aligners. The aligners work to straighten you teeth in the same way as the brackets and wires of traditional braces. Invisalign controls the timing of the results by changing the aligners every few weeks.
What are the main benefits of Invisalign?
- Invisalign aligners are transparent, so you can readjust your smile secretly.
- Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners are removable, allowing you to eat, drink, brush and floss normally, or remove the aligners for a special event.
- With no metal brackets causing irritation and no wires to adjust, Invisalign is surprisingly comfortable.
- 3D computer imaging allows you to view your future smile before you start treatment.
What are Invisalign aligners made of?
Invisalign aligners are made from durable, medical grade, transparent plastic. The aligners are virtually invisible when worn, so you can breeze through your daily activities with confidence.
What do Invisalign aligners look like?
Invisalign aligners are similar looking to the tooth bleaching trays worn for tooth whitening. Aligners are custom-made for the best fit while moving your teeth into perfect alignment.
How long will I have to wear Invisalign?
For most patients, complete Invisalign treatment takes about twelve months, often less time than teeth straightening with traditional braces. Of course, each patient is unique, and the time it takes to straighten your teeth may be affected by how much straightening is necessary and how well you abide by the regimen of wearing the aligners.
