What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a state-of-the-art orthodontic treatment designed for individuals who want to achieve a straighter smile without the visibility of traditional metal braces. It uses clear, custom-made aligners that are made from smooth, BPA-free plastic to fit snugly over your teeth and gradually move them into the desired position. The aligners are virtually invisible and offer a discreet way to correct dental alignment.
Who Can Use Invisalign?
Invisalign is suitable for most individuals who want to improve their dental alignment, including adults and teenagers. This treatment can address a variety of orthodontic issues such as:
- Crooked or crowded teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Overbites, underbites, and cross-bites
While Invisalign is highly effective for mild to moderate dental alignment issues, severe cases may require traditional braces or alternative treatments. Invisalign Teen is a specially designed version for younger patients, featuring compliance indicators that help ensure teenagers wear their aligners as prescribed.
Duration of the Treatment
The length of time needed to achieve optimal results with Invisalign varies based on the complexity of the case. On average:
- Mild cases: Treatment may last between 6 to 12 months.
- Moderate to complex cases: May require up to 18 months or longer.
Patients typically wear each set of aligners for 1-2 weeks before transitioning to the next set in the series. For the best results, aligners need to be worn for 20-22 hours per day, with removal allowed for eating, drinking, and brushing.
