How Does
Invisalign
Work?
Invisalign is a high-tech way to straighten your teeth and no one will even know you’re undergoing orthodontic treatment. The system relies on a series of removable, BPA-free, plastic aligners that are custom-made according to Dr. Kwong’s specifications. They’re supremely comfortable and best of all, virtually invisible.
T hink of it in sports terms. It’s not the basketball, baseball bat or golf clubs that make the sports star a finished product, but the training and effort they put into it. The same holds true for Invisalign. It’s not the plastic aligners that result in a stunning smile, it’s the planning that goes on behind the scenes on the part of Dr. Kwong, who maps out the exact movements of the teeth. This is why it’s important to choose an orthodontist who is trained and experienced in Invisalign treatment.
You’ll wear each set of aligners for one to two weeks and certain teeth will move based on Dr. Kwong’s blueprint. With each new set, your teeth will gradually and gently shift into their new positions. You’ll take them out to brush, floss and eat. How convenient is that?
The Advantages of Invisalign
The end result may be the same as traditional braces ”“ a stellar smile ”“ but Invisalign is in a class of its own when it comes to the actual tooth straightening process. The benefits are pretty hard to beat:
- Effectively treats a wide variety of cases including spacing, crowding, crossbite, overjet teeth and underbite
- Virtually invisible
- Removable so you can brush and floss as you normally would for improved oral health
- Snack away! No food restrictions
- Smooth and comfortable aligners without the need for poking wires or metal brackets
