What is the technology behind INVISALIGN® and how does it work?

INVISALIGN® is a unique computer technology aided teeth straightening system that allows your teeth to be straightened without the use of any wires or brackets. INVISALIGN®; is also known as ‘clear braces’ and it uses a series of clear removable appliances these are called aligners. These aligners are manufactured by INVISALIGN® according to exact specifications for each individual patient.

When you look at someone who is wearing INVISALIGN®; it is very hard to detect unless you’re up close. Therefore, from a distance many people will not know that you’re actually wearing INVISALIGN®. Many of our patients at our office have reported increased confidence in their ability to smile both during and after the INVISALIGN®; treatment.

 

Is the treatment plan for INVISALIGN® tailored?

Once they have informed you that you are a candidate for INVISALIGN®, they will create a custom tailored plan that will be made precisely according to the unique shape of your mouth. At this point the doctors will be able to tell you the approximate length of your treatment.

Here is how your INVISALIGN® treatment plan will work: 


1) Your custom aligners will be made just for you having been designed by CAD. The aligners must be worn for the majority of the day, only removing them to eat and drink or to floss and brush.


2) Roughly every 2 weeks you will be sent a new set of aligners, each time bringing you closer to having your teeth perfectly straight.


3) The doctor will ask you to come in for occasional check-ups in order to ensure that the aligners are working and that your smile is progressing. Depending on the severity of the case the number of aligners will be between 12 and 48.


4) Once you have finished with your last aligner the process is finished and you are on your way to having the perfect smile you have always wanted. Most patients will be asked to wear a retainer at night – this will keep your teeth in their new position.
