How does Invisalign work?

Invisalign works by using a series of clear plastic aligners that are custom-made to fit your teeth. The Invisalign aligners are custom designed to slowly and gradually shift your teeth from their current gappy position into the desired position over time. You will need to wear each set of aligners for roughly two weeks before moving on to the next set of aligners. The length of treatment to close gap teeth varies depending on the severity of the case and can typically range between 6 months to 18 years. Invisalign aligners are completely removable – that means you can take them off when you eat your favourite foods, brush teeth, or floss. However, it’s important that you wear your aligners for at least 22 hours every day to ensure the best straightening results.
