How does Invisalign work and what's so good about it?
Similar to a treatment with conventional braces, your dental practitioner will initially take photographs, x-rays, impressions of your teeth and make a treatment plan. These records are then sent to Align Technology where they will be scanned and turned in to a 3D digital representation of your teeth. This allows your dentist to continue to plan your treatment in 3D from start to finish and then show you the projected end results.
In other words you can have a "designer smile"!
After your virtual course of treatment has been finalised you will be able to see the movement of your teeth in a 3D animation. A series of aligners will then be custom manufactured for you. The aligners are made from a lightweight plastic material and will fit around only your teeth and will be changed every two weeks for a new one. Each aligner is slightly different from the previous one and moves your teeth gently into the desired position and a smile you'll be proud of. The length of treatment may vary dependant on the severity of your case and can be determined by your dental practitioner. On average cases take approximately 9-18 months.
