The way the Invisalign braces work
The ground-breaking Invisalign technology straightens the teeth using a series of
clear, customised aligners that are easily removable and remain virtually invisible.
Invisalign braces exert calculative force to facilitate gentle and gradual movement
of the teeth into the desired position. The procedure does not make use of fixed
brackets and wires that remain distinctly visible in your mouth throughout your
treatment phase.
The aligners apply pressure on specific teeth at different times. As a result, the
teeth move gradually – a little at a time – into their desired or expected position.
Each aligner is worn for one to two weeks before you move on with the next one in
your given series. This changing of aligners continuous throughout the duration of
the treatment till the alignment of your teeth is corrected and meets the final
desired position.
It is relevant mentioning that cutting-edge Invisalign technology allows you to see
your smile even before receiving your braces. This is made possible by the
Invisalign Clincheck software that shows you beforehand how your teeth will position
themselves and look like during various stages of the treatment. In other words,
monitoring treatment progress is easier with Invisalign.
Our Invisalign dentist in London will keep reviewing your teeth movement during the
entire course of the treatment. Thus you have to come for routine checkups at
regular intervals. To achieve the best results you must wear the aligners anywhere
between 20 and 22 hours a day. In other words, you can take out the aligners only
when eating, brushing or flossing the teeth.
