Invisalign Overview

Perhaps you have friends who have had their teeth straightened using metal braces. If that is the case, then you know from talking with them that the procedure is neither overly attractive nor particularly comfortable. In some cases of serious malocclusion, metal braces are the only practical option, but quite often bite problems can be corrected using Invisalign clear braces.

Invisalign differs from metal braces in that they are made of thermoplastic that is very nearly invisible. Another difference is that Invisalign aligners are not cemented onto your teeth, and there are no wires to adjust. You can take your Invisalign clear braces out when you want to eat, and also for brushing and flossing. And because you can take out and replace your aligners, you can get the full set at the beginning of your treatment – you do not need a visit to the dentist office for an adjustment; you simply change the aligners at home at pre-determined intervals.

No metal means no painful tightening appointments, and no possibility of scraping the inside of your mouth. It also means that you do not have to worry about any dietary restrictions – because you take out the aligners in order to eat, there is no risk of wires coming loose. The length of treatment for Invisalign clear braces can vary from patient to patient, but typically you can expect to wear the aligners for about a year.
