What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is the invisible way to straighten teeth without braces. Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually straighten teeth, without metal or wires.

How does Invisalign work?

First, your dentist or the dental assistant will take a precise mold of your teeth, x-rays of your teeth, in addition to, extra-oral and intra-oral pictures of you. This information is then sent to Invisalign. Then, Invisalign uses 3-D computer imaging technology to depict the complete treatment plan from the initial position to the final desired position from which a series of custom-made, clear "aligners" are produced. Each "aligner" moves teeth incrementally and is worn for about two weeks, then is replaced by the next in the series until the final position is achieved.

What are the primary benefits of Invisalign? * Invisalign is clear. You can straighten your teeth without anyone knowing. * Invisalign is removable. Unlike braces, you can eat and drink what you want during treatment. You can also brush and floss normally to maintain good oral hygiene. * Invisalign is comfortable. There are no metal brackets or wires as with braces to cause mouth irritation, and no metal or wires means you spend less time in the doctor's chair getting adjustments. * Invisalign allows you to view your own virtual treatment plan before you start so you can see how your straight teeth will look when your treatment is complete.

  • @bigblueeyedgurl97 - thanks for the comment! Invisalign wasn't popular back when I had braces 15 years ago either, and my smile still came out okay=) But it does seem like Invisalign would have made high school a little funner:-/
