What is Invisalign® Clear Aligner Therapy?
Invisalign®, also known as clear aligners, consists of a series of nearly invisible, custom-made plastic trays designed to fit snugly over your teeth. These trays gradually and discretely move your teeth into the desired position over time. Each set of aligners is individually crafted to meet specific alignment goals. They are held in place by the contours of your teeth, as well as small tooth-coloured attachments that exert precise pressure for optimal alignment. The aligners are removable, allowing you to eat, drink and maintain your regular oral care routine without disruption. Invisalign® treatment typically lasts between 9-15 months, though some patients may see improvements in a shorter period. For best results, it is recommended to wear the aligners for 20-22 hours daily, switching to a new set every one to two weeks. Thanks to their transparent nature, Invisalign® aligners are virtually undetectable, allowing for discretion throughout the treatment process. Once treatment is complete, the attachments are removed, revealing the straight and radiant smile you have always wanted!
