Straight Talk: Your Guide to Getting Started with Invisalign®

Posted .

Invisalign® is a well-renowned orthodontic treatment where custom-made clear plastic aligners are placed on teeth and only removed when eating and drinking. Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks. This gradually guides the teeth into the patient’s desired smile. Unlike traditional braces with metal wires and brackets, Invisalign straightens teeth fast and discreetly.

The treatment process begins with a 3D scan of the patient’s teeth and from the scans the creation of a series of aligners are made that are customized to achieve the patient’s desired look. In most cases, aligners are held on by little nubs placed on certain teeth called buttons. They provide comfort and convenience, allowing users to eat, brush and floss without the restriction of braces.

Today it has gained popularity for its convenience and aesthetic appeal; regular check-ups with the orthodontist are scheduled to monitor progress and provide new sets of aligners. A consultation with an orthodontist is necessary to determine the best treatment plan based on the patient’s teeth position and desired smile.
