There is a solution to having straighter teeth without having to wear the traditional unsightly metal braces. Known as invisible orthodontics, this type of treatment offers you the choice of wearing a clear and sometimes removable appliance while straightening and aligning your teeth.
This is often a favourable option for adults who have professional careers and don't feel comfortable wearing unsightly 'train track' braces for months on end. The technology behind invisible orthodontics is highly advanced and often gives patients a much shorter treatment time, depending on their individual cases. Here is an overview of how they work:
The Invisalign treatment process is as straightforward as it is technically advanced.
1
Once your Invisalign Provider has confirmed that you are eligible for treatment, they will take photos, X-rays and digital scans, or a dental impression, of your teeth.
2
You'll receive a series of custom-made aligners to wear every day and change at home – on average every 1-2 weeks.
3
You'll visit your provider around every 6-8 weeks to monitor progress and receive new aligners.
