Invisalign® Treatment
Invisalign treatment is a gentle and state-of-the-art approach to get the smile you always wanted with the help of the latest 3D computer imaging system that creates a step-by-step plan of action to transform your current teeth to the desired one.
This process leads to a set of custom-made aligners which, when worn, exert gradual pressure on your teeth and are usually worn for about two weeks before changing to the next one in the sequence until the desired result is obtained.
Made from clear, non-toxic and medical grade plastic, these Aligners are almost invisible when worn and provide a tight fit, the same as clear tooth whitening trays but they are made to help with the movement of teeth. Many orthodontists and dentists have compared them to contact lenses for the teeth, and thus make the process of getting that beautiful smile easier and without discomfort.
How does Invisalign® work to move teeth?
Invisalign® aligners like the brackets and wires, help in the movement of the teeth through the application of forces. However, what makes Invisalign® different is the control of the force as well as the control of the time when the force is applied. Every phase of the treatment has certain teeth that have to move and these movements have been laid down in the treatment plan for that specific stage of the treatment. This is to ensure that there is a very accurate application of forces during the whole treatment process.
