Invisalign is Aesthetic Orthodontic Treatment developed for adults and teens who can benefit from straight teeth. Invisalign is a series of clear, custom-made removable, comfortable Aligners (trays that look like bleaching trays) created to effectively move teeth into their desired position. It combines proven orthodontic science with 3-D computer graphics to project tooth movement. The aligner is the foundation of the Invisalign technique. These aligners are worn about 22 hours a day. You can remove them to eat, drink, brush and floss your teeth. Patients wear each set of aligners in twoweek intervals. Currently there are about 379,000 cases in treatment utilizing Invisalign in private practice. 16,000,000 aligners had been used by the end of 2005, with successful, proven results.
After going through extensive training, General Practitioners need to pass their Certification to practice this type of orthodontics. Treatment takes anywhere from a few months to several months to achieve desired results, depending on how involved your case is.
Invisalign is not a new form of orthodontics. It has been used for several years but has recently reached the height of success. There are obvious advantages for the patient with Invisalign. Orthodontics that use virtually undetectable clear tray aligners, as opposed to metal and brackets, is cosmetically a dream. The other advantages are being able to maintain good oral hygiene easily. You are able to remove them to brush, floss and keep regular cleanings and exams with your dentist, maintaining a healthy periodontal state.
