How Invisalign’s Clear Aligners Straighten Your Teeth

Invisalign leverages a series of custom, almost invisible plastic aligners to shift teeth progressively — all without the need for metal brackets or wires. These aligners are made from transparent, BPA-free materials and are designed to be gentle, removable, and discreet.

Step by Step: How Invisalign Works

Digital Scanning & Treatment Planning
Your dentist captures detailed 3D scans or impressions of your teeth. With this data, we map out the full tooth movement journey — from your current alignment to your ideal smile.
Custom Aligner Fabrication
Using advanced software and materials, each aligner is tailored to apply precise pressure to certain teeth, encouraging them to move gradually into place.
Wearing Each Set of Aligners
You typically wear each aligner for about 10–14 days, removing them only to eat and clean your teeth. Each new tray continues where the last left off, gently pushing teeth toward their final positions.
Regular Monitoring & Adjustments
Every few weeks, you’ll check in with your dentist to ensure your teeth are moving as expected. Minor tweaks or refinements can be made along the way to stay on track.
Final Retention Phase
Once your teeth reach their target alignment, a retainer will help maintain your new position and prevent relapse.

Why Invisalign Works Well

Discreet and aesthetic:Clear aligners are nearly invisible, making treatment more comfortable socially.
Removable design: You can take them out to eat, floss, and brush — maintaining better hygiene during the process.
Precise control: The digital plan controls tooth movement step by step, reducing guesswork.
Comfort: No brackets or wires means fewer irritations or adjustments.
