Invisalign uses custom-fit alignment sets to gradually push your teeth into the desired placement.

The specifics are determined by a 3D scan of your teeth evaluated by Invisalign as well as your dentist or orthodontist. Once a plan has been decided on, it usually takes five to seven weeks for your alignment sets to arrive.

On average, between twelve and twenty different sets are used throughout the Invisalign process. Each set is worn for about two weeks. Generally, you are given three to four sets at a time, so it’s only necessary to go see your dental health care provider around every six to eight weeks.

This allows for the gradual, but consistent transformation of your teeth. The entirety of the procedure normally lasts between six months and a year and a half.

Why choose Invisalign?

For teens and adults embarrassed by the idea of braces, Invisalign can be the perfect option for discretion. However, the advantages don’t stop there.

Braces and Invisalign are similar in that they are generally slow, steady processes. They also cost about the same. However, the details make all the difference.

The main thing is this:

Once a metal apparatus is attached to your mouth, you’re committed until it comes off. Invisalign requires no such commitment. You can take out Invisalign aligners whenever you feel it is necessary.

The removability of the Invisalign aligners allows for freedoms that the wearers of braces simply don’t have. Though simple in concept, the Invisalign system requires cutting edge technology.
