What is Invisalign®?
• Invisalign® is the invisible way to straighten your teeth
without braces.
• Invisalign® uses a series of clear removable aligners
(pictured to the left) to straighten your teeth without metal wires
or brackets.
• Invisalign® has been proven effective in clinical research
and in orthdontic practices nationwide. In fact, over 70% of all
U.S. orthodontists are certified to treat patients with Invisalign®.
How Does Invisalign® Work?
• You wear each set of aligners for about 2 weeks, removing
them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss.
• As you replace each aligner with the next in the series,
your teeth will move - little by little, week by week - until they
have straightened to the final position your orthodontist or dentist
has prescribed.
• You'll visit your orthodontist or dentist about once every
6 weeks to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned.
• Total treatment time averages 9-15 months and the average
number of aligners worn during treatment is between 18 and 30, but
both will vary from case to case.
