5 Things to Know About Invisalign

1. Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable trays to shift your teeth similar to the way braces do. The trays are custom made to the patient in order to gradually shift the teeth into place.
2. Invisalign treatments usually take from 12-18 months on average. This heavily depends on the patient's needs 
3. Invisalign tends to be a more comfortable alternative to braces, as there are no wires or metal while using invisalign leading to limited irritation
 4. Invisalign patients must wear their aligners for 20-22 hours per day, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss.
 5. Although invisalign may be more expensive than traditional braces, many patients find the aesthetic and convenience benefits worth the investment.
