What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a type of orthodontic treatment that uses clear, custom-made aligners to straighten teeth. These aligners are made of a thermoplastic material and are virtually invisible when worn, making them a discreet option for teeth straightening. Invisalign has been shown to be just as effective as traditional braces in correcting misaligned teeth, but offers added comfort and flexibility for patients.
- Invisalign uses a series of clear removable aligners to straighten your teeth without metal wires or brackets.
- The aligners are made through a combination of Dr. Pillai, Dr. Bakhshi, and Dr. Hanna’s expertise and 3-D computer imaging technology.
- You wear each set of aligners for about 2 weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss.
- As you replace each aligner with the next in the series, your teeth will move – little by little, week by week – until they have straightened to the final position Drs. Pillai, Bakhshi, and Hanna has prescribed.
- You’ll visit Drs. Pillai, Bakhshi, and Hanna about once every 6 weeks to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned.
- Total treatment time averages 9 – 15 months and the average number of aligners worn during treatment is between 18 and 30, but both will vary from case to case.
