Invisalign®
Explained

Invisalign is a type of orthodontic treatment that involves the use of clear aligners to straighten teeth. Unlike traditional braces, which use metal brackets and wires, Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, transparent plastic aligners to gradually move the teeth into their desired positions.

What Exactly Is
Invisalign Treatment Process?

Here’s an overview of the Invisalign treatment process:

  1. Consultation and Treatment Planning:
    • During an initial consultation, your orthodontist will assess your dental needs and determine if Invisalign is a suitable option for you.
    • A 3D digital scan or impressions of your teeth will be taken to create a virtual model.
  2. Custom Aligner Design:
    • The orthodontist works with specialized computer software to plan the movement of your teeth throughout the treatment.
    • A series of custom aligners are then manufactured based on this treatment plan.
  3. Wearing the Aligners:
    • You will wear each set of aligners for about 1 to 2 weeks, as per your orthodontist’s instructions.
    • The aligners are removable, but it’s crucial to wear them for at least 20-22 hours a day to ensure effective results.
  4. Regular Check-ups:
    • You’ll have periodic check-ups with your orthodontist to monitor your progress.
    • New sets of aligners will be provided as your teeth gradually shift into the desired positions.
  5. Treatment Duration:
    • The duration of Invisalign treatment varies based on individual needs but typically lasts between 6 months to 2 years.
  6. Advantages of Invisalign:
    • Appearance: Invisalign aligners are transparent, making them less noticeable than traditional braces.
    • Removability: Aligners can be removed for eating, brushing, and special occasions.
    • Comfort: Invisalign aligners are generally more comfortable than traditional braces as they don’t have wires or brackets that can cause irritation.
  7. Post-Treatment:
    • After completing the Invisalign treatment, your orthodontist may recommend wearing retainers to prevent your teeth from shifting back.

It’s essential to follow your orthodontist’s instructions closely and attend regular appointments to ensure the success of your Invisalign treatment. While Invisalign is suitable for many orthodontic cases, not everyone is a candidate, so it’s crucial to consult with a qualified orthodontist to determine the best treatment plan for your specific needs.
