How Invisalign Works
Invisalign uses custom-made clear plastic trays based on your smile. Using iTero technology to capture digital impressions of your teeth, your clear aligners can be crafted in less time.
This multi-set system requires that you wear the trays 20-22 hours each day so that your teeth will receive the continuous pressure required to keep them moving in the right direction. After a few weeks, you will be instructed to remove your current set of aligners and swap them out for the next set. This will ensure that the next phase of treatment begins, causing your teeth to further shift until proper alignment is achieved.
The Benefits of Invisalign
Once you discover the many benefits of Invisalign, it’s hard to consider any other option. Some of the most common benefits patients experience include:
- A More Subtle Approach: Instead of turning to metal brackets and wires, Invisalign uses clear aligners that are virtually undetectable to onlookers.
- Improved Comfort: There are no protruding or bulky brackets and wires with Invisalign. The smooth plastic and snug fit allow the trays to lay flat against teeth so that there is little to no irritation to soft oral tissues.
- Greater Flexibility: With Invisalign, trays must be removed before eating or drinking. This makes it less challenging to eat the foods you love because you don’t have to worry about picking food out of your braces.
- Easy to Clean: There are no special products or instruments required when cleaning Invisalign aligners. All you need is a soft-bristled toothbrush, clear soap, and lukewarm water.
What Is Invisalign Teen?
Teenagers who are self-conscious about their appearance can find hope with the help of Invisalign Teen. Similar to traditional Invisalign aligners, this unique system is designed specifically with younger patients in mind.
Because teenagers have a lot going on in their busy lives (i.e., school, sports, events, and socializing), bearing the responsibility of remembering to change out their trays can be challenging. This is why Invisalign Teen uses color-changing dots (indicators) that are located toward the back of each aligner. As the color fades over time, you and your teen can determine if they are staying on track with treatment and when to swap them out for new ones.
Also, teenagers are likely to require more replacement aligners, especially since they can get lost or broken easily at school.
