What Is Invisalign?

Invisalign braces are a type of clear aligner that is worn over the top and bottom teeth. The aligners gradually straighten teeth and can be removed for eating, brushing, and flossing. Traditional braces may limit food intake and make brushing difficult.

Aligners should be worn daily for 22 hours. They may need to be changed every couple of weeks for a period of time depending on the severity of your dental issue.

What Are Clear Aligners?

Clear aligners are a modern way to straighten the teeth without the need for braces. Clear aligners are very efficient at correcting mild to moderate dental issues. So efficient that they have become the go-to straightening option for most adults.

Clear aligners work the same way as orthodontic braces. They shift your teeth into the right position. However, this doesn’t happen all at once. The shifting process occurs gradually. 

One key difference from other options is that clear aligners don’t use brackets and wires. Also, you don’t have to visit your dentist regularly for adjustment. Instead, you’ll get a replacement approximately every two weeks. Every new set of clear aligners that you wear maps a new position for your teeth to shift into.

To enjoy the full benefits of clear aligners you’ll need to wear them for 22 hours daily.
