As the name suggests, the Invisalign® system is virtually invisible, meaning you can discreetly straighten your smile. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign® aligners are removable, so you can eat or drink whatever you like, and brushing and flossing your teeth is easy. Because there’s no wires to adjust to tighten, you don’t have to make as many appointment with the dentist as you would if you had traditional metal orthodontics.
Invisalign® treatment is convenient and simple. You wear a set of aligners for about two weeks, only removing them when you need to eat, drink or clean your teeth. After the two weeks, you’ll switch to the next set of aligners in the series, which will slightly reposition your teeth, until the desired results are achieved. Generally, most patients wear anywhere between 18 and 30 different aligners over a period of 9 to 15 months, however since treatment is customized, these numbers vary with each patient.
