As the popularity of orthodontic care increases, straight teeth have become more and more important. However, many people avoid traditional braces due to the length of time they must wear the cumbersome metal brackets and wires. However, if you want to straighten your teeth without the mess of traditional braces, Invisalign could be the answer you have been looking for. Find out more with help from 
your Catonsville, MD dentist at Angel Dental Care.
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment system which uses clear, comfortable aligner trays made from plastic instead of the traditional metal wires and brackets. A dental laboratory uses a 3D model of your mouth to customize each tray especially for you based on a predetermined treatment plan. Patients wear each aligner tray for about two weeks before switching to the next tray in the series. The length of treatment and number of trays in the series varies from patient to patient though most treatments last about a year.
How does Invisalign work?
Much like traditional braces, Invisalign puts pointed pressure onto the teeth to move them into their desired positions. The pressure may be adjusted with small, tooth-colored bumps affixed to the teeth called attachments which allow some teeth to move more than others. At your initial appointment, your dentist takes a 3D scan of your mouth. A dental laboratory uses this model to create a video of your teeth during treatment, allowing you to see exactly where you teeth will move. After approval, the lab creates your trays and treatment begins.
The Benefits of Invisalign
- Convenience: Invisalign is totally removable, meaning you may remove your trays to eat, drink and brush. Unlike traditional braces, which require special threading floss and water picks, keeping your teeth healthy during treatment is a breeze.
- Ease of Care: Since eating and brushing is no different than before treatment, the ease with which you will go through the Invisalign process is second to none. Though you must wear the trays for about 22 hours a day, the comfortable plastic from which they are made allows them to become part of your smile.
- Confidence: Wear Invisalign with confidence knowing that you are straightening your smile discreetly, without the world knowing.
