Your Journey to a Perfect Smile
Invisalign, the Art of Perfection.
Invisalign is a modern orthodontic treatment option designed to straighten teeth and correct various dental misalignments. It offers an alternative to traditional metal braces by using a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually move the teeth into their desired positions. Invisalign has gained popularity due to its effectiveness, convenience, and the aesthetic appeal it offers compared to traditional braces.
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a brand of clear aligners that are custom-made for each individual. These aligners are made from a smooth, transparent plastic material and are virtually invisible when worn on the teeth. Invisalign aligners are specifically designed to apply controlled pressure to the teeth, gradually shifting them into the desired alignment. They are an effective treatment option for various orthodontic issues, including crowded teeth, gaps, overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites.
How Does Invisalign Work?
Invisalign works by using a series of custom-made, clear aligners that gradually move the teeth into the desired position. The aligners apply controlled pressure to shift the teeth, and they are changed every one to two weeks to continue the progression. Compliance with wearing the aligners as instructed is essential for successful treatment.
