What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is an invisible corrective appliance and is the best alternative for conventional braces in adults. Invisalign is a set of clear aligners that are custom made for every patient.

Set of clear aligners are fabricated which gently move the teeth over a period of time. The clear aligners have to be changed every 2 weeks. The teeth are aligned gradually with the help of these clear aligners as they apply pressure on the teeth.

What is the procedure?

Step 1:Your dentist performs a dental check-up, which also includes a thorough dental cleaning. Teeth which require fillings are treated. Your dentist will take multiple radiographs and digital scans. Your dentist makes an impression of your upper and lower teeth. Models are made out of the impression and the treatment plan is discussed.

Step 2:All the records are sent to the Invisalign lab along with the discussed treatment plan to create a customized 3D treatment plan according to the need.

Step 3:Aligners are delivered to you. Each aligner should be changed after two weeks of use. They should be worn for 20 to 22 hours every day.

Step 4:You should visit your dentist once every 6 weeks to monitor the progress. The entire treatment might take up to 13 months.
