How Invisalign Works
Although Invisalign in practice is complex, the theory behind this orthodontic treatment is quite simple. After confirming you are a candidate, non-putty impressions of your mouth will be taken, which will be used to craft your clear braces. Once you receive your first set of aligners, you will begin wearing them for 20 to 22 hours a day, putting just enough pressure to guide your teeth into their new and improved position. You will work your way through the series and have periodic appointments with our team to ensure your teeth are tracking properly. When your treatment is complete, you will be given a retainer to preserve your hard-earned results!
Invisalign Treatment Timeline
Your treatment timeline with Invisalign will depend on your unique dental needs. For example, a patient looking to address minor misalignment may achieve their smile goals in as little as six months. Those struggling with more complex orthodontic issues, however, may wear their aligners for 18 months. So, while the average treatment timeline with Invisalign is 12 months, it is best to speak directly with our orthodontist to see how long your orthodontic care will take.
The Benefits of Invisalign
Invisalign was introduced to the public in the late 1990s, and the field of orthodontics was forever changed. Today, this virtually incognito braces option provides patients with a number of benefits, including:
- Discreet appearance.
- Hassle-free oral care.
- Improved comfort.
- No dietary restrictions.
- Shorter treatment timeline.
- Fewer appointments.
