What is Invisalign®?
 Invisalign®
is the invisible way to straighten your teeth without braces.
Invisalign® uses a series of
clear removable aligners (pictured) 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. |
