Invisalign offers patients a way to discreetly straighten their teeth which is often very appealing to teen and adult patients. There are no brackets or wires to irritate the inside of the mouth and the aligners are made of smooth plastic that won’t irritate lips and cheeks like metal braces. Likewise, you won’t have wires that need to be tightened at your follow-up appointments. Instead, you’ll simply switch to a new set of aligners when you’re ready. Each set will be specially calibrated to move your teeth to a specific location, so the end result is a perfectly straight and ideally aligned bite. You’ll need to visit your orthodontist every six to eight weeks to be sure your treatment is on track and to allow your orthodontist to make any adjustments as needed.
