Yes, Invisalign is an extremely effective way to straighten teeth for both adults and teens. The custom-fit clear aligners use steady gentle force to move your teeth into the desired position gradually. Each set of aligners moves your teeth just a small amount at a time. You switch to a new set every 1-2 weeks as your teeth shift into place. An Invisalign treatment plan is mapped out ahead of time using 3D imaging technology. This shows how your teeth will move with each aligner set. Most patients need between 12-48 aligner sets to complete treatment that takes 9-24 months. You must wear your aligners 20-22 hours per day to allow them to do their job. Some temporary attachments may be bonded onto certain teeth to help the aligners grip. While not instant, Invisalign produces impressive, smile-transforming results if worn consistently and as directed. Your orthodontist will monitor your progress and adjust your treatment plan as needed. As long as you are committed to the treatment, Invisalign's clear aligners can effectively and predictably straighten your teeth faster than traditional braces.
