Invisalign Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that straightens teeth using a series of clear, removable aligners made from smooth, BPA-free plastic. These aligners are custom-made to fit the patient's teeth and are designed to gently and gradually move teeth into their desired position. Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks before it is replaced with the next set in the series, continuing the process until the teeth are properly aligned.How Is the Invisalign Procedure Done?The Invisalign process typically involves the following steps:
One of the significant benefits of Invisalign is that it requires little to no recovery time. Patients can continue their daily activities without the discomfort often associated with metal braces. However, you may feel some slight pressure or discomfort when starting a new set of aligners, which typically lasts for a few days as the teeth adjust to the new aligner. How Long Does Invisalign Treatment Last?The duration of Invisalign treatment depends on the complexity of the dental issues that need attention. On average, treatment lasts between 12 and 18 months, though some cases may require more or less time. Patients with more severe misalignment may need to wear aligners for a longer period, while those with minor corrections can often achieve results in less than a year. It's important to follow our instructions and wear the aligners as prescribed to ensure the treatment stays on track.
