What is Invisalign?



Invisalign orthodontics involves the use of Invisalign, the clear braces for correcting dental irregularities such as overbite, under bite, open bite, cross bite, overcrowded teeth, widely spaced teeth, crooked teeth, protruding teeth and many other malocclusions. Apart from straightening your teeth, this innovative treatment option also holds at bay problems such as speech impairments, gum diseases, chewing disorders, digestion problems and abnormal wear of tooth surfaces.

For recommending the right treatment solutions, orthodontic experts perform a careful evaluation of your teeth, jaws and facial structure by taking X-rays, photographs and bite impressions.

Invisalign, the clear aligners are designed with advanced computer technology according to the structure of your teeth. The patients have to wear one set of aligners for two weeks and then replace it with a new set, so as to speed up the straightening process. In normal conditions, the treatment duration is about 9 to 15 months and the patient has to use about 18 to 30 set of aligners; this can vary in particular cases.
