Most people choose Invisalign because treatment is not noticeable. For those who are self-conscious, it’s preferable to have an orthodontic correction that cannot be seen unless someone is really looking for it. In addition, Invisalign takes a similar amount of time as other methods. It often compares in price as well. For anyone who is a suitable candidate for Invisalign treatment, it is the preferred way to go.

Aligners are customized for every patient through the use of medical imaging. If you choose Invisalign treatment, your aligners are specifically made to fit your mouth. They are exchanged for a new set on two week intervals. With each set, your teeth are gently being shifted into the proper position. You do not have to deal with metal in your mouth that may cause irritation. You can remove your aligners as necessary, such as when you are cleaning your teeth, eating something that could stain the plastic, or if you have a special function. For anyone involved in contact sports, it is advised to remove the aligners while playing. Aligners need to be worn at least 22 hours on a daily basis to be most effective.
