Invisalign is a product introduced by Align Technology, Inc. This orthodontic procedure incorporates the concept of using a series of clear retainers, which will, over time correct the orientation, alignment & angulation of your teeth so that they are continuous, symmetric & straight.

Your initial consultation with your dentist or orthodontist, is often made at the early stages. During this visit, you'll discuss the issues you have with your teeth and what kind of results you would like to see. Once your doctor decides your situation is suitable for Invisalign treatment, a treatment plan will be mapped out with your goals in mind. Then, impressions and pictures of your teeth will be taken for digitization purposes.
The impressions of your teeth will be digitized in order for your doctor to work with a computerized 3-D image of your teeth. Then, your doctor will plan your tooth movements throughout your entire treatment timeline. You'll be able to see a virtual representation of your teeth before, during, and after completion of the Invisalign process so you can see what your smile should look like when you're done with treatment. This is called the Invisalign Clincheck process.
From your doctor's precise treatment plan, customized aligners are created with advanced technology for you to wear at each stage of your treatment. While the number of aligners varies for each individual situation, a full set of treatment typically includes 20-30 aligners per arch.
You should wear your aligners at all times, with the exception of eating and drinking, in order to complete your treatment in the timeline determined by you and your doctor. You'll go in for occasional checkups, to monitor your progress and to receive your next set of aligners. During the entire treatment process, you'll be able to watch your teeth gradually moving into place. Your smile will, little by little, move into something you'd like to show off. The people around you will be sure to notice your new-found confidence.
Comparison of Invisalign to other traditional orthodontic approaches:
| Invisalign | Metal Braces | |
|---|---|---|
| How does it work? | Invisalign uses a series of clear removable aligners to straighten your teeth without braces, metal wires or brackets. | Metal braces use wires and brackets to pressure your teeth into straighter alignment. |
| Nearly invisible | Yes | No. Metal braces are usually noticeable. |
| Removable during treatment | Yes | No. You cannot remove braces until treatment is completed. |
| Treatment doesn't involve metal that can irritate gums | Yes | No. The metal wires and brackets used with braces can cause mouth irritation. |
| Allows you to brush and floss normally during treatment | Yes | No. Braces hinder the ability to reach tooth/gum area when brushing or flossing. |
