What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a type of orthodontic treatment that can help adults achieve a healthier and more appealing smile. It is an excellent option for the adult patient, as it does not involve any brackets or wires. A series of clear, virtually undetectable trays or "aligners " are used to orthodontically move the teeth. Every two weeks the aligners are replaced with a new set that is shaped just slightly differently, so the teeth are gradually moved into the ideal alignment. With Invisalign, it is very easy to maintain good oral hygiene, as there is no metal hardware to clean around and the aligners are removable. Most adults find this treatment to be compatible with their professional appearances and responsibilities. Treatment times vary depending on the amount of movement required. Invisalign is a great alternative to traditional braces as long as the patient is compliant. Obviously if the patient does not wear the invisalign aligners they will not work. Not everyone is a candidate for Invisalign as it does have limitations, so you should check with your dentist to see if Invisalign would work for you. Many Invisalign providers are happy to offer free consultations. You can visit their website www.invisalign.com to see before and after photos. You can also find Invisalign providers in your area. The cost of invisalign varies from area to area. In most cases it is a similar fee to that of traditional orthodontics.
