What is Invisalign®?
Invisalign®, also called invis, is an innovative orthodontic treatment that uses clear, removable trays similar to those used in teeth whitening to straighten teeth. Adults and young patients alike appreciate them for their more aesthetic appearance than braces l and comfortable, customized design.
Invisalign® orthodontic treatment is effective for a variety of malocclusions. Unlike traditional braces, which exert a pulling force, Invisalign® aligners gently push teeth into the correct position. This makes Invisalign® suitable for correcting most types of dental malocclusion. Invisalign® treatment varies significantly from as little as 7 weeks to 12 months or more, depending on the complexity of the work involved and the patient’s discipline.
