How Does Invisalign Work?
Invisalign is the clear way to straighten your teeth, using a set of customized aligners made specifically for your orthodontic needs. These aligner trays are made of smooth, comfortable, and clear BPA-free material that you wear over your teeth. On top of being virtually undetectable, Invisalign is also removable, so you can remove them before you eat, eliminating the food restrictions that often come with conventional braces! This also means you can maintain a healthy oral hygiene regimen, as no wires or brackets create those hard-to-reach spots.
What to Expect
- Wearing the aligners will gradually and gently shift your teeth into proper alignment.
- The number of aligners in your series depends on the severity of your bite problem, as well as the recommended movements that Dr. Ben Belavsky, Dr. Kristina Sakas Katz and the Rosen Orthodontics team have planned out for you.
- Every week, you will switch to a new set of aligners, gradually making your way through the series until your treatment is complete.
- The aligners must be worn at least 22 hours per day, except during eating and normal hygiene, to achieve a beautiful smile.
