Invisalign treatment

The Invisalign system is an almost invisible device which helps to align your teeth. Thanks to advanced 3D computer technology, Invisalign allows you to visualise the whole of your treatment plan, from the initial position of your teeth to the final desired position, as prescribed by your Invisalign practitioner. Next, a series of clear aligners will be custom made for your teeth, allowing them to be adjusted little by little.

Each aligner must be worn for roughly two weeks before replacing it with the next one in the series, until your teeth have progressively reached the final prescribed position. The duration of treatment will depend on your specific needs and must be decided by your Invisalign practitioner.

Invisalign aligners are orthodontic devices which are made to measure by Align Technology Inc.

Invisalign aligners are almost invisible and most people won’t even notice you’re wearing them.

Moreover, Invisalign aligners are removable so you can eat and drink whatever you want during treatment by simply removing them. You can also remove the aligners to brush and floss your teeth as you normally would and maintain good oral hygiene.
In contrast to traditional fixed braces, Invisalign doesn’t use any brackets or metal wire. This means that you spend less time at appointments making adjustments with your Invisalign practitioner.

Finally, the Invisalign system allows you to see a virtual image of your results and your treatment plan before you even get started, so that you can see what your teeth will look like once treatment is completed.

Dentists and orthodontists have been successfully using removable devices for years. However, thanks to the 3D technology from Align Technology and custom manufacturing on a large scale, the Invisalign system can be used to treat a large number of patients who wish to align their teeth. ClinCheck® software allows patients to visualise their treatment plan from start to finish, before it’s even begun.

Align Technology Inc., the company that makes Invisalign, was founded in 1997.

The duration depends on the complexity of the treatment and is largely comparable to the time it takes with traditional braces. Your Invisalign practitioner will give you more information during your initial consultation.

In 1947, Dr H. D. Kiesling predicted that one day technology would allow for the use of a series of aligners to produce the movements required for optimal orthodontic treatment. Now, thanks to cutting-edge computer technology, Align Technology has produced Invisalign®, a series of custom-made clear aligners. The patient must wear each aligner, one after the other, to progressively move the teeth in both the upper and lower arches.

More than 8 million patients worldwide have already been treated with Invisalign. The number of Invisalign smiles keeps growing every day.

Invisalign aligners move the teeth thanks to a series of precisely managed movements. In contrast to traditional braces, Invisalign not only controls the movement made by each aligner but also the speed. At every stage, only some teeth are able to move, in accordance with the Invisalign treatment plan for this particular stage. This allows for an effective use of force.

You may feel some temporary discomfort for a few days when using new aligners, at the beginning of each new treatment stage. Patients generally describe it as a feeling of pressure, which is completely normal. This means that the aligners are working properly and this sensation generally disappears after a few days.

Clear aligners are made of a highly resistant, medical-grade thermoplastic material, designed specifically for the Invisalign system. They are made to measure for you and adjust perfectly to your teeth.

Although the Invisalign system can be used by all dental practitioners, it requires specific training.
