What is Invisalign?

An Easier Way to a Straighter and More Dazzling Smile

Most adults assume that if they didn’t get braces as a child that the missed out on their opportunity to achieve a straight and perfect smile entirely. That’s not true. Adults can have their teeth aligned just as easily as a child or teen can. And the best part is they don’t even need braces to do it, thanks to Invisalign. If interested in obtaining a more dazzling, contact your orthodontist about Invisalign in Albertville.

The Beauty of Invisalign

A lot of teens and adults are embarrassed to wear braces because of how, well, obvious they are. Unlike children, who rejoice in the ability to deck out their teeth in colorful bands, older individuals prefer a more discreet method to align their teeth. Invisalign provides that method.

Invisalign utilizes clear, plastic aligners that are custom fit to a person’s mouth. The appliance works just as effectively as braces, except that there is no metal, no wires and no brackets. Invisalign is even practically pain-free. Also, unlike with braces, with which a person must watch what he or she eats, Invisalign appliances can be taken out at meal time and put back in with ease.

How Invisalign Works

When you opt for Invisalign, you will be fitted for a series of aligners. Over time, as your teeth move more and more into the correct position, you will move through the series until your teeth are in the desired position. The average treatment time for Invisalign patients is 6 to 18 months, which is a shorter treatment time than braces.

Who is a Candidate for Invisalign?

Invisalign is not for everyone, though it is appropriate for most adults, teens, and sometimes even children. Our orthodontists in Maple Grove will perform an in-depth examination to determine whether or not you or your teen can benefit from the treatment. After several years of offering Invisalign, we’ve found that most interested candidates qualify. Only some extreme cases may require traditional wire braces.
