Why would I want it?
Not only are the aligners invisible, they are removable, so you can eat and drink what you want while in treatment. Plus, brushing and flossing are no problem. They are also comfortable, with no metal to cause mouth abrasions during treatment. No metal and wires usually means you spend less time in your doctor’s office getting adjustments. Invisalign also allows you to view your own virtual treatment plan when you start so you can see how your straight teeth will look when your treatment is complete.
How does it work?
Invisalign are clear aligners you wear daily to correct teeth position. They are customized for your mouth and are switched out according to your treatment plan. They can correct many teeth issues for adults in about a year but could take up to 18 months. The best part of using this treatment is they are virtually unnoticeable by others so you can smile for pictures, have meetings, and go out without people noticing. That makes them a good alternative to braces for adults.
