Invisalign treatment

Do your overlapping teeth bother you aesthetically or inconveniently?  Invisalign can help align your teeth and improve your smile. Nevertheless, before considering this treatment option it is important to understand how it works.

What is Invisalign treatment?

Invisalign treatment is one of the most advanced treatments in the world. A series of thermoplastic trays are made to measure by computer, in order to move your teeth little by little. Unlike traditional treatment with metal braces, that are visible in the mouth, Invisalign shells are practically invisible, hence the name.

How it works?

Each tray, called aligner, will perform slight movements and will be changed every 1 to 2 weeks. It is possible to remove them for eating and brushing teeth. The aligners should be worn for at least  22 hours a day.

During the treatment, it is the dentist who determines the strength and the moment to move the teeth. By using a digital system called ClinCheck, it is possible in advance to determine the necessary number of shells and the duration of the treatment.

At each phase of the treatment, only one section of teeth is moved at a time until the end of it. Treatment length varies and is determined prior to starting Invisalign.
