Once it has been decided that Invisalign is a good fit, the dentist will create a comprehensive treatment plan for dental alignment, including the movements the teeth should make throughout treatment. These instructions will be detailed, including the time and sequence of the motions the teeth will make.

While the traditional brace makes use of fixed wires to “pull” the teeth into alignment, Invisalign aligns the teeth by using a series of molds that, across a series of months, force your teeth into their new and improved position. This is a simple explanation of the general Invisalign process.

Remember that Invisalign is a treatment just like any other. Imagine your medical doctor prescribed you medication, but you didn't take it. You wouldn't expect results from that, either. We also recommend that you continue to keep your check-up appointments with us during your treatment.

Invisalign® is a system of transparent aligners that are custom-made to fit a person's teeth. Like braces, it corrects alignment by delivering different levels of pressure to individual teeth. Since everyone has a unique smile, you will need a custom-made pair of Invisalign clear aligners.

What Is Invisalign?

• The Importance of Fixing Crooked Teeth. For many people looking to fix their crooked teeth, image is their main concern.
• Traditional Braces.
• Invisible Aligners.
• More Comfortable.
• Allow for Better Dental Hygiene.
• Fix Dental Problems.
• Non-Invasive Scanning.
• Boosts Self-Confidence.

With several systems from Invisalign Express to Invisalign Full, treatment lengths can take from three months to 18 months. For example, if you want to correct some slight crowding, then you can expect to see fast results. Whereas, for more complex bite conditions, the wait time can extend past 12 months.

Invisalign clear aligners can make daily oral hygiene easier when straightening your teeth. This results in a risk of possible problems. Plus, correctly aligned teeth can also alleviate issues caused by an improper bite, speech, or chewing difficulties, jaw problems, and increased wear on the tooth enamel.

Aligners are made of plastic and are custom made to fit your teeth. Each aligner moves the teeth step by step towards the final position. Small bumps of composite resin (tooth coloured filling material) are attached to various teeth to help the aligner grip the tooth so it can be moved correctly.

Invisalign aligners, if worn daily, can straighten your teeth in as little as 12-18 months. Custom-fit aligners are designed to gradually shift each of your teeth into proper alignment and let your doctor track your progress during appointments to make sure that you are on the right track with your treatment.

A misaligned bite can cause premature wear and tear on the teeth and even lead to breakage. After Invisalign repositions the teeth and they fit well together, they are at a reduced risk of damage.
