INVISALIGN®
- a revolutionary way
to straighten teeth
The
system uses a series of nearly undetectable' aligners' instead
of brackets and wires. These are made of thin clear plastic
which fit to your teeth, a bit like a very thin mouthguard.
They are very difficult to spot when on and can be easily
removed to help in flossing and brushing.
Invisalign®
'aligner'
Invisalign®
uses 3-D technology to create an individual series of
12 - 48 aligners which are changed every two weeks to
gradually move your teeth into their correct positions.
Patients
must visit the orthodontist regularly at six week intervals.
However, the overall treatment time may be a little longer
than other treatments.
The
advantages are that the aligners are removable, nearly
invisible and should be taken out for eating and cleaning
your teeth.
