What is Invisalign and what are some of its advantages?
Having straight teeth isn’t just about having a picture-perfect smile. Straight teeth also help to protect the overall long-term health of your teeth. Invisalign is a form of orthodontic treatment that helps to straighten your teeth. The advantage of Invisalign is that it’s clear (or “invisible”) so that you can have straight teeth and a great smile without the metal brackets and wires used with traditional braces. Invisalign retainers also have the added benefit of being removable, making it easier to brush and floss, which leads to better overall oral health. Additionally, Invisalign retainers make it easier to eat normally because they can be removed when eating.
How does Invisalign work?
Invisalign treatment uses a series of tight-fitting custom-made clear retainers that slip over your teeth. The clear retainers make slight adjustments that move your teeth over the treatment time. You’ll get new retainers every few weeks to continue moving your teeth. At the end of your treatment, you’ll have a straighter and healthier looking smile.
