During the last decade there have been many advances made in
the field of orthodontics. One such advance was the invention of removable teeth
aligners that can be used to reposition and straighten your teeth over time. These
aligners, which were developed by a company called Invisalign,
are being used more and more instead of traditional metal braces.
How
does Invisalign work?
It uses a series of clear,
removable aligners that are individually shaped to slowly shift the placement
and alignment of your teeth.
Every two weeks, you put aside
the current set of aligners and begin using the next set in the series until your
teeth have been moved into correct positioning.
