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.
Invisalign treatment usually takes about
a year to complete
