What is Invisalign?

​

Invisalign is a modern orthodontic solution that uses clear, removable aligners to gradually shift teeth into their correct positions. Its clear design offers a virtually invisible alternative to traditional metal braces, making it a popular choice for adults and teens.

 

These custom-made aligners are designed to efficiently move teeth for issues like crowding, gaps, and various bite problems. A major advantage is that they are removable, allowing for easier eating and cleaning. However, they must be worn for 20-22 hours per day to be effective.

 

Treatment duration usually falls between 12-18 months, depending on the individual's needs. Invisalign combines comfort, aesthetics, and convenience for an improved orthodontic experience.

 

Invisalign is a brand of clear, removable aligners used as an alternative to traditional metal dental braces to adjust and align teeth. These custom-made aligners are virtually invisible, hence the name "Invisalign." 

 

The process involves the patient wearing a series of clear plastic aligners that slowly shift their teeth into the desired position. Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks, then replaced with the next set in the series. This gradual repositioning of the teeth continues until they reach the planned final position.

 

Invisalign treatment can correct a variety of orthodontic issues, such as overcrowding, gaps, overbite, underbite, or crossbite. One of the key advantages of Invisalign is that the aligners are removable, allowing patients to eat, brush, and floss more naturally than they could with traditional braces. However, for Invisalign to be effective, the aligners must be worn for 20 to 22 hours per day. 

 

The duration of treatment with Invisalign varies, depending on the individual's orthodontic issue, but is typically between 12 and 18 months. As with any orthodontic treatment, the effectiveness largely depends on the patient's commitment to wearing the aligners as instructed.

WHY Invisalign over braces?​

​

Choosing Invisalign over traditional braces offers several advantages that cater to both aesthetics and convenience:

• Nearly Invisible Appearance: One of the most significant benefits of Invisalign is its nearly invisible nature. Unlike traditional braces with visible wires and brackets, Invisalign aligners are transparent, allowing individuals to smile confidently without the noticeable appearance of orthodontic appliances.

• Removability for Convenience: Invisalign aligners are made from a flexible material, making them easily removable. This feature provides unparalleled convenience, as wearers can take off the aligners when eating, allowing them to enjoy their favorite foods without any restrictions. This is a notable difference from traditional braces, which are fixed and can limit food choices.

• Reduced Clinic Visits: Invisalign offers a more flexible schedule with fewer visits to the orthodontic clinic. While traditional braces may require adjustments every 3-4 weeks, Invisalign typically necessitates visits only once every 6-8 weeks. This means less disruption to one's routine and commitments.

• Clear Treatment Timelines: Invisalign treatment provides a clear visualization of each stage, offering wearers a transparent understanding of the entire treatment process. Unlike braces, which may provide only an approximate duration at the beginning, Invisalign users can better plan and anticipate the timeline for achieving their desired results.

• Enhanced Oral Hygiene: The removability of Invisalign aligners contributes to better oral hygiene. Wearers can maintain their regular flossing and brushing routine without obstacles, ensuring effective cleaning. In contrast, traditional braces may pose challenges in cleaning between metal brackets, leading to potential plaque accumulation and compromised oral hygiene.

 

In summary, the choice of Invisalign over braces is driven by factors such as aesthetic appeal, convenience, flexibility, and improved oral hygiene, making it a preferred option for individuals seeking effective and discreet orthodontic treatment.

​

APPEARANCE

Invisalign aligners are nearly invisible, offering a discreet method for teeth straightening that won't detract from your smile. Designed to fit perfectly, they provide a smooth, comfortable aesthetic. With Invisalign, you can maintain a natural-looking smile during treatment, and the aligners are removable for special occasions.

 

Lastly, they promote better oral hygiene for a healthier, more dazzling smile, which enhances your overall appearance.

​

REMOVABLE

Invisalign aligners are fully removable, providing a level of convenience not seen with traditional braces. This allows you to easily maintain your oral hygiene routine, as you can remove the aligners to brush and floss normally. When it comes to meals, you can enjoy your favorite foods without restrictions by simply taking your aligners out.

 

Their removability also allows for comfortable wear during sports or other physical activities. Lastly, for special occasions or photographs, you can remove your aligners for a few hours, ensuring they don't interfere with your important moments.

​

CLEANSABILITY

Invisalign aligners offer excellent cleansability, contributing to overall oral health. As they are removable, you can maintain your regular oral hygiene routine, brushing and flossing your teeth with ease. The aligners themselves can also be cleaned separately, preventing the build-up of bacteria.

 

They can simply be rinsed under water, and a soft toothbrush can be used for a more thorough cleaning. This level of cleansability helps to keep your teeth and gums healthier throughout your orthodontic treatment, reducing risks of cavities and gum diseases.

 

SAFETY

Invisalign aligners are a safe choice for orthodontic treatment, made from medical-grade, BPA-free clear plastic. Unlike traditional braces, there are no metal brackets or wires that can potentially cut or injure the inside of your mouth, which makes them a safer choice for athletes or anyone leading an active lifestyle.

 

As they are custom-made, Invisalign aligners fit snugly onto your teeth, reducing the risk of them being dislodged inadvertently. The absence of metal also eliminates the possibility of an allergic reaction. Finally, their removability allows for safer and more effective oral hygiene, reducing risks of tooth decay and gum disease during treatment.
