Invisalign – Straighten Your Teeth Invisibly

Invisalign braces allow you to straighten your teeth invisibly. They are created with plastic that is difficult to detect, so it is possible that most people won't even know that you are wearing braces. Take pictures and smile with confidence with these braces.

Because they are custom-made they will straighten your teeth in the most effective manner possible. You don't have to worry about going to the dentist to have metal wires tightened. You don't have to worry about trying to clean between metal braces. You only need to place a new set of aligners on your teeth every two weeks, as recommended by your dentist. Each set is specially designed to shift your teeth into the correct position.

Invisalign braces look like a clear version of your own teeth. To begin the process of getting these custom-made braces, you will first visit your dentist who will complete an x-ray and provide advice on the steps to take to straighten your teeth. The dentist will then create the braces for you, and give you directions for wearing your first set and subsequent sets of the braces. You will be asked to use a new set of braces every two weeks. Like the first set, these aligners will also be custom-made to suit your individual needs. The aligners are constructed of plastic and you can remove them when you are ready for a meal or when you need to brush your teeth.

Although you change the aligners yourself, you still have to meet with your dentist, so he can see the progress that your teeth are making using the product. Most people want to know how long they must wear Invisalign braces, but that depends on the condition of your teeth. It could take a year or longer for an adult's teeth to reach the desired look. For teens, the time-period will also vary greatly. You can expect to wear these braces for as long most people would wear metal braces.

Since you can take the braces out at will, you may be tempted to leave them out. To get the best results, as soon as possible, you must wear the braches at least 22 hours a day during the time-period that the dentist recommends. Following all of your dentist's instructions is the best way to get the smile that you want quickly.

You can care for the aligners with a kit that is designed to clean them. The kit is sold in your dentist's office. The kit helps to remove the plaque that may build up on the braces. When they are crystal clear, they are more likely to be undetectable. In any case, you don't have to worry about getting food stuck in them or being unable to eat certain foods because of your braces.

Invisalign is also great for people who play amateur or professional sports require the use a mouthpiece. Since the product is removable, you can take the braces out when you are ready to play. Put your mouthpiece in while you are playing your favorite sport, and plop the aligners back in when have finished playing or practicing.
