Invisalign
Invisalign is a favorite choice among adults. That’s because Invisalign was created to be invisible. Your dentist will use impressions and X-rays to generate a precise 3-D image of your teeth in order to configure your aligner trays. During treatment with Invisalign you will wear plastic aligner trays 22 hours each day. They are only meant to be removed for eating and brushing. Invisalign aligner trays are made of smooth, BPA free, clear plastic. About every two weeks you will change to a new aligner tray, with each new tray moving your teeth closer to the desired position. You will also visit your dentist about every six weeks so that he can review your progress.
While many people enjoy the comfort and aesthetics of Invisalign treatment, keep in mind that Invisalign treatment usually takes slightly longer than traditional Arrowhead braces and is also more costly. In addition, it’s often not a good choice for children or teenagers since it requires strict diligence to wear them 22 hours each day.
