Invisalign provides an attractive alternative to traditional orthodontic treatments such as braces. It’s a revolutionary new way to straighten teeth. This treatment uses clear, plastic aligners that fit over your teeth to gradually align them over time.
It’s best to wear the aligners for at least 20 hours per day, but they can be removed for easy eating and teeth cleaning. While you’re not eating or brushing your teeth, the Invisalign aligners should remain in your mouth.
Due to its comfort and ease of use, Invisalign is an increasingly popular treatment for misaligned teeth, especially among adults. Curious about why Invisalign might be better than braces or other traditional orthodontic approaches? Check out these benefits:

If you have major orthodontic and alignment issues, your dentist may recommend a different treatment. To see whether Invisalign is an option for you, visit Franklin Dental Group for a consultation.
First, your dentist will examine your teeth to determine whether Invisalign is the best treatment method for you. They might either make physical impressions of your teeth or create 3D images using a digital scanner. Your dentist will use these to develop a unique treatment plan for you.
Then your dentist customizes clear, plastic aligners that fit your teeth. The aligners will gradually move your teeth into their proper positions as you wear them. New aligners may be made as your teeth begin to shift. This process continues until your teeth are aligned correctly.
