Invisalign
Invisalign is a modern orthodontic treatment that straightens teeth using a series of custom-made, clear plastic aligners. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners are nearly invisible and can be removed for eating, brushing, and flossing. The treatment works by gradually shifting teeth into their correct positions over time. Patients typically receive new aligners every one to two weeks, with each set designed to make slight adjustments to the teeth’s alignment. Invisalign is popular for its discreet appearance and convenience, offering a flexible alternative to metal braces.
Why Choose Invisalign?
Here are four reasons to choose invisalign:
Invisalign aligners are clear and nearly invisible, making them a more aesthetically pleasing option compared to traditional metal braces.
The aligners are made from smooth plastic, reducing discomfort. They are also removable, allowing you to eat, brush, and floss without restrictions.
Invisalign is tailored to your specific needs, with aligners custom-made to fit your teeth and gradually move them into place.
The treatment uses advanced 3D imaging technology to map out your treatment plan, providing a clear timeline and expected results.
How Do Invisalign Work?
Consultation
You start with a consultation with an Invisalign-trained dentist or orthodontist. During this visit, they'll assess your teeth and discuss whether Invisalign is right for you.
Treatment Plan
If you proceed, a digital scan or impressions of your teeth will be taken to create a customized treatment plan, showing how your teeth will move and what the final result will look like.
Production and Fitting
Custom aligners are made using the digital plan. You'll receive your first set, which you'll wear for 20-22 hours a day, changing to a new set every one to two weeks.
Adjustments
Regular check-ups will ensure the treatment is progressing as planned. Adjustments to the treatment plan can be made until your teeth are perfectly aligned.

FAQs
Treatment duration varies depending on individual cases, but most patients complete their treatment in 12 to 18 months. Your dentist will provide a more accurate timeline based on your specific needs.
For optimal results, Invisalign aligners should be worn 20-22 hours a day, only removing them for eating, drinking (except water), and oral hygiene.
Invisalign is generally more comfortable than traditional braces. Some patients may experience slight discomfort or pressure when switching to a new set of aligners, but this typically subsides within a few days.
You should remove your aligners when eating or drinking anything other than water. This prevents staining and keeps the aligners clean. Always brush your teeth before reinserting them.
