How Does Invisalign Works?
Invisalign aligners are custom-made trays that function to straighten your teeth and enhance oral function. With a series of Invisalign aligners, the teeth are shifted gently and slowly to their preferred position. Mineola’s dentist suggests wearing each set of the aligner trays on the teeth at least 22 hours a day. They are changed to the next in the custom series every 1 – 2 weeks to maintain the teeth shifting steadily.
What Can Invisalign Fix?
Invisalign can fix problems like gapped teeth, crooked teeth, overcrowding of teeth, & malocclusion.

Invisalign eliminates the issues people face with metal brackets and wires, such as trapped food, and lip, cheek, and other soft tissue irritation within the mouth.

Since Invisalign aligners should be removed before eating and drinking, there is no food debris and plaque accumulation, unlike traditional metal braces. It is essential to brush and floss the teeth after eating and to clean aligner trays before putting them back.

The treatment duration widely depends upon the severity of the case, If you have less crowded or tilted teeth it may take only a few months, but if you have overcrowding it can take up to a year. In many cases, teeth straightening with Invisalign needs less time than traditional braces. For most patients, treatment with Invisalign takes 12 – 18 months on average or as short as six months in some cases.

Since the patients can remove Invisalign clear aligners from the mouth anytime they want, the teeth and gums can get better cleaning than the metal braces.
