Invisalign: The Clear Alternative to Braces

If the thought of having a mouthful of metal is as about as appealing as having a tooth extraction without medication, then read on to learn more about Invisalign.

Invisalign is a series of clear aligners that are custom-made to fit your mouth. They look a lot like teeth-whitening trays, but instead of whitening your teeth, they reshape the structure of your smile. Here is how they work:

Unlike braces, which rely on brackets and wires to move teeth, Invisalign aligners move teeth through the appropriate placement of a time-controlled force on your teeth. Every two weeks, you replace the aligners, which are customized by your dentist to fit your teeth perfectly.

Other benefits of Invisalign are that they are invisible, comfortable and flexible according to your own lifestyle needs. For instance, you can take them out if you’re having your picture taken or attending a cocktail party. And best of all, they are effective at transforming your teeth into a beautiful and straight smile.

And if you’re worried about costs, keep in mind that Invisalign is a more cost-effective treatment than traditional braces.
