Invisalign is a revolutionary technology that straightens teeth without compromising the aesthetics of patients. Unlike the metal braces that are awkward to use and reveal that the person is using braces, Invisalign works invisibly and produces the same results.

Invisalign is a series of clear, removable aligners that help to straighten crooked or uneven teeth without metallic wires or brackets. Invisalign has become a very popular alternative to metal braces because of its obvious advantage of invisibility. 

Advantages of invisalign

• Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible, allowing you to straighten your teeth without drawing attention to your treatment.

• Invisalign aligners are smooth and comfortable, minimizing irritation to your gums and cheeks.

• You can easily remove your aligners for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing, allowing for greater flexibility in your daily routine.

• Since the aligners are removable, you can enjoy all your favorite foods without worrying about damaging your braces.

Procedure

A customized set of aligners for the patient are produced by the dentist and the Invisalign manufacturer. Once the aligners are ready, the patient wears them for 22 hours daily. The aligners are to be removed only while eating, drinking, brushing, and cleaning the teeth.

The dentist may provide a number of different invisalign trays for the complete course of treatment. This depends on the nature of the problem, and the degree of teeth and bite improvement required. As the patient goes on replacing each aligner with the next in the series, the teeth will continue to move into the desired position, week after week. Once optimum results are achieved retainers are given to patients to maintain the results.The total treatment period may range between nine to fifteen months, depending on the severity of the patient’s condition.
