Invisalign braces are a new revolutionary method to straighten teeth without metal. A series of clear, removable Invisalign appliances are used to gradually straighten teeth, without metal or wires and it's nearly invisible. You can straighten your teeth without anyone knowing. An Invisalign patient can eat and drink anything while being treated along with being able to brush and floss normally to maintain good oral hygiene. This isn't possible while wearing traditional braces. It's comfortable. There are no metal brackets or wires to cause mouth irritation. No metal or wires also means you spend less time in the dentist's chair getting adjustments and in some cases a patient only needs to see the dentist half as often as with regular braces.
Invisalign braces uses 3-D computer imaging technology to simulate the complete Invisalign treatment plan from the initial position to the final desired position from which a series of custom-made appliances are produced. Each appliance moves teeth incrementally and is worn for about 2 weeks, then replaced by the next in the series until the final position is achieved. Aligners are made of clear, strong medical grade plastic that is virtually invisible when worn. Aligners are nearly invisible and look similar to clear tooth-whitening trays, but are custom-made for a better fit to move teeth.
Like brackets and archwires, Invisalign braces moves teeth through the appropriate placement of controlled force on the teeth. The main difference is that it not only control forces, but also control the timing of the force application. At each stage, only certain teeth are allowed to move, and these movements are determined by the Invisalign orthodontics treatment plan for that particular stage. This results in an efficient force delivery system.
