Invisalign is designed to straighten your teeth without braces. It is designed virtually invisible, containing a series of clear, removable aligners to make your teeth stronger without metal wires or brackets. You wear each set of clear aligners for roughly two weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. As you switch out each aligner with the next in the set, your teeth will shift – little by little, week by week – until your teeth have moved to the final position your orthodontist or dentist has prescribed. You’ll visit your orthodontist or dentist about once every six weeks to ensure that your treatment is completed as planned. Although the total treatment time varies, the average is 9-15 months and the average number of aligners worn during treatment is between 18 and 30.
How does Invisalign work?
An Invisalign-trained dentist will use a 3D computer imaging technology to show the complete treatment plan from the start of the treatment to the finished and desired position. This imaging technology is made to create custom-made aligners to fit the patients. The patient wears the aligner for roughly two weeks while the teeth start to shift. After two weeks, the current set will be replaced until the position of the teeth reached the final desire.
What do aligners look like?
Aligners are almost invisible and clear. If you’ve ever seen clear tooth-whitening trays, that is the basic look of the aligners. Invisalign aligners are made custom to fit the patients teeth and so they can shift them.

As you change each set, there may be some brief discomfort as your teeth adjust to their new position.
