The Science Behind Clear Aligners
Invisalign® aligners are not conventional braces, but they operate on the same orthodontic principles of gentle tooth movement. Orthodontic treatment involves carefully moving crooked teeth into straighter positions, and Invisalign® does this without the need for brackets and wires. Instead, the series of aligners are designed to complete this movement as you progress through them. Each aligner guides teeth through a certain phase of tooth movement, with the subsequent aligner picking up where the last one left off and moving your teeth further.
Invisalign’s Many Advantages
Because Invisalign® does not utilize conspicuous braces, they offer a wide variety of benefits, including:
- Increased confidence throughout treatment due to the aligners being invisible.
- Better hygiene, as you can remove the aligners before brushing and flossing your teeth.
- Less hassle when eating, as you can remove the aligners before meals, as well.
- Greater comfort due to the lack of wires, brackets, or other sharp edges.
