How Invisalign Straightens Teeth

While traditional braces rely on metal wires and brackets to perfect your smile, Invisalign clear braces use thin, plastic aligners to gradually guide your teeth into the desired position. Throughout your treatment, you will be given custom-made trays designed for comfortable wear and powerful results. While each new set is designed specifically for that phase of your treatment, they will all be virtually undetectable, so even your loved ones will have a hard time noticing when you are wearing them!

How Long Does Invisalign Take?

Since everyone’s smile is unique, personalized treatment plans are essential. Therefore, the timeline can vary from patient to patient. However, Invisalign does deliver results in an average of 12 to 18 months, which is considerably less than traditional metal alternatives! Plus, you can ensure you get the results you want in record time by following a few best practices. First, make sure to always wear the aligners for at least 22 hours a day (unless otherwise directed by Dr. Oshins). Next, except for water, always remove them when you eat or drink to prevent staining and warping. And, of course, make sure to brush and floss regularly to prevent tooth decay, cavities, and gum disease.
