Patients who want to straighten their teeth no longer have to rely on traditional braces only. Clear aligners, also called “contact lenses for teeth,” are practical alternatives. Adults and teens alike love clear teeth aligners like Invisalign because the treatment is subtle, comfortable, and unlike braces it is easy to maintain a good oral hygiene during the course of treatment. Invisalign uses “repositioners” similar to whitening trays — these teeth aligners are removable and virtually invisible when worn.

How Invisalign works

Over the years, you have known that teeth are always straightened with wire-connected metal brackets. While this is true, advancements in orthodontics have led to the invention of the Invisalign — state-of-the-art teeth straightening system that uses clear braces to reposition your teeth. Many patients find Invisalign convenient because the aligners are removable and hardly noticeable to the average eye. 

If you want to benefit from Invisalign, you must book a consultation with an Invisalign dentist like Dr. Far. We evaluate your dental health during your initial appointment to establish your candidacy for Invisalign. If eligible, we digitally scan your teeth and simulate your treatment plan to see how your teeth move into the desired position. 

Next, we fabricate a series of aligners to be worn for at least 20-22 hours daily. You get a set of about 10-30 aligners, depending on the amount of work involved and each set is worn for about 7-10 days before moving to the next. This pattern continues until you achieve the intended results. After completing your treatment, we will give you a retainer to prevent your teeth from shifting back to their old position.
