What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a way to straighten teeth without the traditional metal brackets and wires. The treatment consists of a series of flexible plastic trays that are changed throughout the course of treatment. It provides a more cosmetic solution for adults who want to straighten their teeth without wearing traditional braces. Invisalign also allows the patient to brush and floss their teeth more easily.
How does invisalign work?
The invisalign trays slowly reposition the teeth during the course of treatment. Each Invisalign tray is worn for a period of 1 week and then changed to the next tray.
