A patient wears one aligner for about a week and then switches to the next one in the series until finally, their teeth are right where they should be.
What patients love about Invisalign is that these aligners are virtually invisible! Very often, no one outside the immediate family and best friends ever know that orthodontic treatment is going on.
Invisalign treatment time is approximately the same as traditional braces, but without the need to endure the discomfort of metal brackets and wires.
Advantages of Invisalign
- Invisalign clear aligners are practically invisible; no one will notice you’re wearing them
- It’s easy to brush and floss teeth every day just by removing the aligner
- There are no food restrictions because the aligners are taken out at mealtime
- Metal brackets can stain the teeth, which won’t happen with clear aligners
- There are no brackets or wires to poke into your cheeks or irritate your tongue
Who Is a Good Candidate for Invisalign?
To get the best results from Invisalign braces, a patient must be willing to keep the aligners in all day and night except when eating or cleaning his or her teeth. There are a few other occasions in which it is advisable to remove aligners, such as playing sports or musical instruments. If a patient thinks they won’t be able to follow these rules faithfully, they might get a better result from conventional metal braces.
There are only a few other situations where Invisalign is not the best choice, such as a patient with a severe overbite requiring advanced procedures to change the position of the jaw. Otherwise, nearly everyone can benefit from Invisalign braces.
