SmilesHQ provides options to straighten teeth, including fixed braces and Invisalign. Various factors determine which orthodontic option can best suit your needs.
What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign is popular among teenagers and adults due to its convenience, comfort and discreet appearance. Using clear aligner technology, Invisalign can straighten teeth and correct misalignments without metal wires or brackets.
With Invisalign, patients can correct mild to moderate cases of the following:
- Overbites
- Underbites
- Crossbites
- Open bites
- Crooked teeth
- Gaps and spacing between teeth
- Overcrowded teeth
- Overlapping or protruding teeth
Invisalign aligners are transparent plastic trays that fit over the teeth. Patients can remove the trays to eat, brush and floss, but we recommend wearing the aligners 20–22 hours daily for optimal results.
Invisalign gradually moves teeth into the desired position through the sequential use of the aligner trays. Every couple of weeks, the patient receives a new set of aligners to wear, and each set is slightly tighter than the previous one.
Average treatment times are 12–18 months. However, some patients may have shorter or longer treatment times based on their unique case and commitment to treatment.
