orthodontics

Invisalign is a modern orthodontic treatment that uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually straighten teeth. Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible and custom-made to fit snugly over the teeth. Each set of aligners is worn for about one to two weeks before being replaced with the next in the series, gently moving the teeth into the desired position over time. Invisalign is popular among teens and adults seeking a discreet alternative to braces. It's commonly used to treat mild to moderate alignment issues such as crowding, gaps, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. Since the aligners can be removed for eating, brushing, and flossing, they offer greater flexibility and comfort compared to fixed braces. Treatment duration varies depending on the complexity of the case, but most Invisalign treatments take between 6 and 18 months. Regular check-ins with an orthodontist or dentist help ensure the treatment is progressing as planned.
