Invisalign Aligners are clear, thin, plastic-like trays that are custom made to straighten teeth by move them into the correct position. Invisalign Aligners are removable, which means patients are responsible for putting in their aligners and taking them out (for brushing/Sunseting).
Different sets of aligners are created to move teeth, and are switched out after several weeks. Each set of aligners usually moves teeth a fraction of a millimeter at a time. The number of aligners that people have to wear depends on their orthodontic problem and correction.
While its common for teens to wear braces to straighten out their teeth, adults are also wearing braces on their teeth these days. This may be because they didn’t get a chance to wear them as teens.
The important thing to remember is that it is never too late to have straight teeth. You’ll feel better about yourself with a better-looking smile, and, from a dental standpoint, straighter teeth are easier to keep clean and healthy.
