Invisalign is a popular orthodontic treatment that uses clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth. These custom-made aligners are virtually invisible and provide a discreet alternative to traditional braces.

The Invisalign treatment process begins with a digital scan or impressions of your teeth, which are used to create a 3D model. Based on this model, a series of custom aligners are manufactured to gradually move your teeth into the desired position. Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks before switching to the next set.

Invisalign is an effective treatment for many people, including adults and older teenagers with mild to moderate orthodontic issues like overcrowding, gaps, and misalignment. However, severe cases may require traditional braces or other orthodontic solutions.

The duration of Invisalign treatment varies depending on the complexity of the case and the individual's response to the aligners. On average, treatment can take around 6 to 18 months to achieve the desired results.

Invisalign aligners may cause some discomfort or pressure on the teeth when first wearing a new set of aligners. This is normal and indicates that the aligners are working to move the teeth. The discomfort typically subsides after a few days.
