First, the dentist will examine your oral health and teeth position to make sure that you are a good candidate for Invisalign. If everything is in order, they will take a digital scan or an impression of your teeth to create a 3D model of your mouth. This model is used to design a series of custom-made aligners that will slowly move the teeth into their proper position.
But, for that to happen, you must wear your aligners for about 22 hours a day. Moreover, you will have to see your dentist about every two weeks or so to get a new set of aligners.
As the treatment progresses, your teeth will be moved into the desired position, giving you the straight smile you always wanted.
Each set of Invisalign aligners is designed to target specific teeth and move them into their correct position. The aligners are made from a flexible plastic material that allows for controlled movement of the teeth. The aligners fit snugly over the teeth and use gentle pressure to move them into their new position.
But, that's not all.
The 3D modeling technology used by Invisalign allows for precise planning and targeting of specific teeth. The aligners are designed to apply a calculated amount of pressure to each tooth at the right time, ensuring that the teeth move into their desired position as efficiently and effectively as possible.
The downside of Invisalign is that it can only be used for mild to moderate orthodontic issues. Even so, it can still tackle a variety of conditions, such as:
Invisalign is a highly effective and popular alternative to traditional metal braces. The clear aligners are virtually invisible and can be used to treat a variety of orthodontic issues, including crooked teeth, overbite, underbite, crossbite, and gaps between teeth.
