Invisalign is a popular brand of clear aligners used to straighten teeth as an alternative to traditional metal braces. It's a form of orthodontic treatment that involves wearing a series of custom-made, removable plastic aligners that gradually move your teeth into the desired position.
Key Features:
-
Clear and virtually invisible: Made from BPA-free plastic, the aligners are transparent, making them less noticeable than metal braces.
-
Removable: You can take them out to eat, drink, brush, and floss.
-
Custom-fit: Created based on a 3D scan or impression of your teeth.
-
Comfortable: No wires or brackets that can irritate your mouth.
How Invisalign Works:
-
Consultation with an orthodontist or dentist trained in Invisalign.
-
3D Imaging is used to create a digital model of your teeth.
-
Treatment Plan is mapped out, and a series of aligners are created.
-
Wearing Aligners: Each set is worn for 1–2 weeks, for about 20–22 hours a day.
