How does Invisalign work?

[Christina]

I would like my crowded front teeth straightened. My sister had braces to move her crowded teeth into a better position. I know braces work by moving teeth but I dont like the braces look.

How does Invisalign work? Does it also move teeth into the right position like braces?

Dear Christina,

Thank you for your post.

Invisalign combines the doctors diagnosis and treatment plan with advances in 3-D computer graphics technology to move teeth in stages using a series of custom-made clear Aligners.

Patients wear each set of Aligners for a minimum of two weeks, 22 hours per day, moving their teeth gradually – week by week, millimeter by millimeter – until the desired results are achieved.

Like braces Invisalign will move teeth to the desired position, and with experience doctors can use Invisalign to treat a majority of adults and adolescents who want a better smile.
