Invisalign Treatment

What is Invisalign and How Does It Work?

A beautiful smile can significantly impact your confidence and how you interact with the world. If you’ve ever considered straightening your teeth but are hesitant about traditional braces, Invisalign might be the perfect solution for you. This innovative orthodontic treatment offers a clear, comfortable, and convenient way to achieve a stunning smile.

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a revolutionary teeth-straightening system developed by Align Technology in collaboration with leading orthodontists in 1997. Instead of using metal brackets and wires, Invisalign employs a series of custom-made, clear aligners to gradually shift your teeth into the desired position. These aligners are nearly invisible, making them a popular choice for adults and teens who want a discreet orthodontic treatment.

How Does Invisalign Work?

The Invisalign treatment process is straightforward and involves a few key steps:

  1. Consultation with Your Invisalign Provider: Your journey begins with a consultation at Campos Dental, where we assess your smile and discuss your goals. We’ll create a detailed treatment plan using advanced 3D imaging technology to map out the exact movements of your teeth.

  2. Custom-Made Aligners: Based on your treatment plan, a series of aligners are custom-made to fit your teeth perfectly. Each aligner is worn for about two weeks before moving on to the next set. The aligners gently and continuously shift your teeth into place.

  3. Wearing Your Aligners: For optimal results, you’ll need to wear your aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day, removing them only to eat, brush, and floss.

Progress and Results: Every few weeks, you’ll visit Campos Dental to check your progress and receive your next set of aligners. The treatment typically lasts between 9 and 18 months, depending on your specific needs.
