Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that uses a succession of clear aligners to straighten your teeth. The aligners are custom molded to your teeth and are typically worn 12 to 18 months during treatment.
Most people describe feeling "pressure" throughout the dental process as the aligner treatment moves teeth by applying gentle, constant force. This type of orthodontic treatment is considered more comfortable than traditional metal braces which use metal brackets and wires to straighten teeth. According to their website, more than 11 million people have used Invisalign to straighten their smiles.
Simply remove the aligner from your teeth when you're ready to eat, drink a beverage other than cold water, or clean your teeth. Metal brackets cause irritation and can even break. Invisalign patients don't have to worry about these dental issues with their plastic aligners. If worn as directed, most patients can complete their aligner treatment in 12 to 18 months, making this a faster treatment option. Patients who undergo Invisalign treatment don't have to worry about these dental issues with their plastic aligners.
Orthodontic issues may seem purely cosmetic, but they can cause issues with your oral health. Crooked or overcrowded teeth can make it difficult to properly brush and floss, increasing your risk of cavities and tooth decay. A misaligned bite can also cause painful TMJ issues.
