Invisible Braces Step-By-Step

About Invisible Braces Step-by-Step

Invisalign braces traditional metal braces, clear aligners are transparent and nearly invisible. They are made of smooth, BPA-free plastic and apply gentle pressure to shift a patient’s teeth into alignment. They can correct a variety of orthodontic issues, including crowded teeth, spacing, and crooked teeth. Invisible braces also provide long-term oral health benefits, as straighter teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of plaque buildup and gum disease.

Achieving Straight Teeth With Invisalign: A Clear Alternative to Braces

To ensure that Invisalign works, patients must wear their aligners FULL TIME (ideally 20-22 hours a day), and remove them only for eating, drinking, brushing/flossing, and cleaning their aligners. In addition, patients should change to the next set of aligners in their treatment plan every 1-2 weeks. This will help to ensure that their teeth are being moved into alignment gradually and correctly.

After their treatment is complete, most patients notice that their teeth are straighter and more evenly spaced, and that any prior issues like crowding or misalignment have been resolved. However, patients should keep up with their regular dental check-ups to make sure that their new, beautiful smile stays healthy for life!
