That&#8217;s where Invisalign comes in.<\/p>\n<p>Invisalign aligners are clear plastic aligners custom made to straighten your teeth. Unlike metal braces that use brackets and wires to straighten the teeth, Invisalign uses a custom set of trays to straighten it. Each tray is manufactured to be slightly straighter than the previous tray. Every two weeks, you&#8217;ll receive a new set. Each tray slowly moves the teeth up to 0.25mm per tray.<\/p>\n<h2>Invisalign Treatment Timeline<\/h2>\n<p>The average treatment time of Invisalign for adults is 12 months. For teens, the treatment time can vary. Moreover, the severity of the case also affects the treatment time. Your doctor will work along with you so they can develop a treatment plan that meets your needs.

There are orthodontic cases where Invisalign won\u2019t work as effectively as traditional braces work. Invisalign is fit for moderate cases while traditional braces are great at treating complex teeth issues.<\/p>\n<p>Generally, Invisalign can treat the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Mild overbite<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Crowded teeth<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Gapped teeth<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Once we know that you are the right candidate for Invisalign, we\u2019ll take a detailed record of your teeth such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Digital x-rays<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Digital scan of your teeth<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Photographs of your teeth and face<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These records are then sent to the lab along with detailed instructions of how the teeth should move. Our in-house dentist will use advanced 3D computer imaging technology to develop a treatment plan starting from its original position up to the desired position. At this stage, it is crucial that a skilled professional is needed to create high-quality custom-made aligners. The manufacture of the trays will take four to 5 weeks to complete. When the trays arrive at our office, we\u2019ll be ready to straighten your teeth.
