Invisalign® has been developed as an option for teeth straightening without many of the drawbacks associated with traditional braces. Invisalign® uses a series of clear plastic trays that slightly move your teeth with every phase of treatment. Convenient Straightening Most people won't even realize that a patient is wearing Invisalign® because the discreet aligners are made of a clear material and don’t inhibit speaking or eating. The aligners can also be removed and brushed to ensure a hygienic treatment, and patients can continue brushing and flossing their teeth normally, too. Treatment Planning When first undergoing teeth straightening treatment with Invisalign®, your cosmetic dentist or orthodontist will take pictures, impressions, and measurements of your teeth. Next, a series of individually designed molds are created to gradually improve the alignment of crooked teeth. These trays are each worn for 24 hours a day, except for eating and cleaning, for about two weeks. T
