How Does Invisalign Work?

Invisalign is a popular alternative to traditional braces, offering a discreet way to straighten your teeth. The clear aligners work by exerting measured pressure on your teeth over several stages, gently shifting them into place. The treatment begins with a thorough examination to determine if Invisalign is right for you. Once a customized treatment plan is created, your aligners will be created using computer imagery, ensuring a perfect fit. You’ll wear each set of aligners for a couple of weeks, removing them only to eat, brush, and floss. As you progress through treatment, you’ll visit your dentist regularly to check your progress and receive new aligners until your smile is fully transformed.

Invisalign vs. Traditional Braces

Invisalign

Invisalign aligners are a popular alternative to traditional braces for a number of reasons:

Invisibility:

The most notable difference and main selling point of Invisalign aligners is that they are virtually invisible. Most people won’t be able to tell that you’re wearing aligners.

Removability:

Invisalign aligners are removable, which makes brushing and eating more convenient for patients. While they should be worn for up to 22 hours a day in the early stages, the fact that they can be taken out whenever necessary is a true game-changer.

Customization:

Invisalign aligners are custom-made for each patient, ensuring a perfect fit and maximum comfort.

Safety:

Invisalign aligners are designed to move teeth gradually and safely without the need for tightening or adjustments.

Traditional Braces

While braces have been a tried-and-true method for straightening teeth for decades, they do have some drawbacks:

Visibility:

Braces are clearly visible to everyone. While it’s a matter of taste whether you or anyone else finds braces unsightly, the metallic appearance of braces will always be obvious to onlookers.

Maintenance:

Braces require expertise and tools to adjust, making at-home removal non-existent. Patients may also experience discomfort and irritation from the brackets and wires.
