UNDERSTANDING THE BASICS
What Is Invisalign®?
Invisalign is a modern orthodontic treatment that uses a series of custom-made, virtually invisible plastic aligners to gradually shift your teeth into their ideal positions. Each set of aligners is worn for about 1-2 weeks before moving to the next set in the series.
The aligners are made from SmartTrack material — a patented thermoplastic that's BPA-free, comfortable against your gums, and nearly invisible when worn. Most people won't even notice you're wearing them, which is why Invisalign has become the preferred choice for adults and teens who want straighter teeth without the look of traditional braces.
Invisalign can treat a wide range of alignment issues including crowded teeth, gaps, overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites. While severe cases may still require traditional braces, the technology has advanced significantly and can now handle most cases that would have required brackets and wires in the past.
One of the biggest advantages of Invisalign is that the aligners are removable. You take them out to eat, drink, brush, and floss — meaning no dietary restrictions, easier oral hygiene, and a more comfortable experience overall.
