How Invisalign Works

How Invisalign Works

Many people require help getting straight smiles. However, no longer do they need to rely on braces to do it. Invisalign treatment near New York City can conveniently correct gapped teeth, crooked teeth, and bite problems. Invisalign works in much the same way as conventional braces by shifting teeth into even alignment. Unlike braces, though, Invisalign does not demand the use of metal brackets and wire. Invisalign braces are actually clear aligners that fit comfortably over the teeth to move them into an ideal position. Though these aligners are just as effective as braces, their transparent appearance and smooth surface make orthodontic treatment a more thoroughly enjoyable experience. Depending on the needs of each patient, an Invisalign dentist may prescribe the changing out of these aligners every few weeks. With each new aligner, patients get closer to enjoying the beautiful smiles they want. So if you’re not quite satisfied with your current smile, talk to an Invisalign dentist about your Invisalign treatment options.
