Invisalign is a type of braces that makes use clear tray aligners. They are made from Invisalign, a form of plastic produced based on the molds of your mouth.
The clear tray aligners are a strong piece of plastic that puts pressure on specific parts of your teeth, which gradually moves them into a much better position. Invisalign are almost invisible, and won’t be easily noticed when you smile.
If you need Invisalign, you should consult with your dentist. You might probably need braces if you have teeth that are too crowded, gappy, or protruding abnormally. The dentist will check your smile, your oral health, and take impressions of your mouth. Invisalign will then proceed to make their aligners, which will be uniquely custom fitted to your mouth. It would be best if you worked hand in hand with your dentist, as he will create a treatment plan that will help you achieve your desired results.
Invisalign uses a series of aligner trays that are replaced every one to two weeks. Each replacement tray will feel slightly different, as it’s designed to continue shifting and moving your teeth. [1]
