When people think of braces, they most often think of traditional orthodontics with metal brackets and wires. However, Invisalign is another alternative that can address the same orthodontic concerns, but without the obvious mouthful of metal. Therefore, Invisalign appeals to many people, but they still have questions. Here, Dr. Sasson answers some frequently asked questions about Invisalign.
During your Invisalign treatment, you will wear a sequential series of aligners. Each aligner will slightly adjust the position of your teeth, a process that is planned by Dr. Sasson and the Invisalign lab at the start of treatment.
Invisalign aligners move teeth through the targeted placement of controlled force. But not only is the force controlled, it is also timed. In other words, only certain teeth move during each stage of treatment.
The obvious advantage of Invisalign is that the aligners are not obviousin fact, they are hardly noticeable in normal social and professional circumstances. In addition, Invisalign aligners are removable so you can take them whenever you want to eat and drink or when its time to brush and floss your teeth.
