How does Invisalign Work?

Find out how this popular clear orthodontic treatment can straighten teeth.

InvisalignIf you’ve been thinking about how a straighter smile could improve your appearance, there has never been a better time than now. With the New Year in full swing it’s a great time to consider your orthodontic options. No matter how young or old you are, there is no age limit on when you can opt for braces, and with clear options like Invisalign in Naperville, you can easily conceal your braces to the public, while also getting the smile you have always wanted!

How can I get a straighter smile with Invisalign?

Invisalign consists of a series of customized clear plastic aligners that are made just to fit your smile. These aligners look very similar to the whitening trays you may see in your local drugstore; however, they can do so much more. When you wear these aligners they will slowly shift your teeth into the proper position, as determined by your Naperville dentist. Unlike with traditional metal braces, Invisalign doesn’t have any wires or brackets that need to be tightened in order to move teeth.

Every two weeks, you will put on a new set of aligners in your series to help your treatment progress. Your Naperville dentist determines how Invisalign moves your teeth before your Invisalign trays were fabricated to design an effective treatment plan for straightening your smile. This means that Invisalign controls both the force of shifting teeth and the timing of the force. Each phase in your treatment will move only certain teeth at a time as determined by your dentist.

How long will my Invisalign treatment in Naperville take?

You should wear your Invisalign retainers about 20 to 22 hours of the day to ensure that you are getting the most effective treatment. However, you should remove your aligners before eating and brushing and flossing. Everyone’s length of treatment will vary based on the severity of a patient’s case; however, most adults only wear their Invisalign for about one year. Teen patients’ length of treatments will fluctuate, so talk to your Naperville dentist to find out more.
