Key points about Invisalign

For any orthodontic treatment, a consultation is needed to determine the appropriate method. If Invisalign is selected, there are key points that make aligners trays a popular treatment for patients with mild to moderate orthodontic needs.

• Customized – Invisalign trays are custom-created for each patient.
• Comfortable – Rather than tightening wires, the trays use gentle pressure to shift the teeth into the proper alignment.
• Changing pressure – Patients receive a series of trays. Each tray is worn daily for two weeks. After a couple weeks, that tray set is discarded and a new set is worn. Each set of trays has a different placement of pressure to continue moving the teeth.
• Removable – The trays are removable. Patients can take them out to eat and to brush the teeth.
• Invisible – Made of clear plastic, Invisalign trays are not immediately noticeable.

Patient-controlled success

The results of treatment with aligner trays relies on patient compliance. Since the trays are removable, patients can eat the foods they love and easily brush and floss. Patients must wear the aligners 20-22 hours per day to achieve desired results.
