What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a popular choice when it comes to teeth straightening. Invisalign uses a series of clear aligners to straighten the teeth, rather than braces. These aligners are removable and practically invisible. This means you can straighten your teeth without anyone ever knowing. And at meals, you simply remove the aligners, which allows you to eat whatever you want and still brush normally. Invisalign uses no metal brackets, no wires, so there are no painful mouth abrasions like you see with traditional metal braces. The aligners are actually custom made to fit your teeth, so they provide a comfortable fit.

You will know you need Invisalign by simply checking the way you bite. If you have an overbite or underbite, you may be a great candidate. These two conditions benefit greatly from Invisalign, especially when compared to traditional braces. The clear aligner trays are designed to treat minor to moderate alignment, crowding, or spacing problems. Adults or teens who tend to be self-conscious will prefer Invisalign over traditional braces because the aligners are virtually invisible and no one has to know you are straightening your teeth.
