What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is an orthodontic solution based on custom-made transparent aligners. It constitutes a discreet and comfortable alternative to traditional appliances to correct malocclusions, dental shifts and various alignment problems.
These aligners are removable, making it easier to brush, floss, and eat without major restrictions. The treatment thus remains simpler to live with on a daily basis for many patients.
How does Invisalign technology work?
The treatment is based on a series of transparent aligners made from a progressive movement plan. Each aligner slightly moves the teeth to their ideal position.
After the consultation and treatment planning, a series of aligners are worn in succession, usually around two weeks each. Regular monitoring ensures that movements are progressing as planned.
What does Invisalign braces look like?
Invisalign aligners are made from a transparent, durable and discreet thermoplastic material. The absence of metal wires or pins reduces visual discomfort and often improves comfort.
As they are removable, they allow you to maintain hygiene habits close to the usual routine: brushing, flossing and eating remain easier to manage.
