FAQs About Invisalign®

Invisalign Stuart, FL

Those born with less than perfect teeth have a few treatment options for straightening their smile, including the highly coveted Invisalign®. This system of customized clear aligners can gradually move teeth into a straightened position due to using 3D imaging technology. Invisalign® allows for a comfortable and effective treatment that is almost completely invisible.

There are many benefits to the Invisalign® system, starting with its simplicity. Although the Invisalign® method is fairly straightforward, there are a few things you may want to know before jumping into your journey to a more brilliant smile.

Frequently asked questions about Invisalign®

Below are the most frequently asked questions regarding Invisalign® treatment.

What is Invisalign®?

Invisalign® is a teeth-straightening system that uses a series of clear plastic aligners that move the teeth little by little. Invisalign® is an excellent orthodontic treatment for mild to moderate bite correction. Since Invisalign® does not use wires, brackets or ligatures like traditional braces, it makes for a more comfortable, discreet experience. Invisalign® is completely removable, which means most of the dietary restrictions and lifestyle adjustments that come with traditional braces are not required with Invisalign®.

What are Invisalign® aligners made of?

Made from a flexible plastic known as SmartTrack®, Invisalign® clear aligners are proprietary and are only created for the Invisalign® branded system. These aligners are custom made for each patient, fitting snugly over the teeth and appearing virtually invisible. This medical-grade plastic does not contain BPA, BPS, latex or gluten and is completely safe and hypoallergenic.

How does Invisalign® work?

An Invisalign® helps create a personalized treatment, thanks to digital technology that is able to map out the precise movements of the teeth. The clear aligners are designed to apply just the right amount of pressure in the right places based on that treatment plan, yielding the desired results every time.

What are the benefits of Invisalign®?

Besides being completely discreet, Invisalign® has many benefits. Ditching the metal wires and brackets of traditional braces for Invisalign® not only improves the appearance of the smile during treatment but also makes the teeth healthier.

Brackets in conventional braces are glued to the teeth throughout treatment, which can cause bacteria to be trapped underneath. After treatment is finished, these brackets are removed, revealing unsightly white spots. Since Invisalign® clear aligners are completely removable, the wearer can clean their teeth just as effectively as before.

Invisalign® can also provide a better fit than braces and does not require painful adjustments. Thus, Invisalign® can make treatment much more comfortable.
