Invisalign: What’s All The Rage About?

If you have been seeing Invisalign mentioned across social media and advertising, you may be wondering what it is and whether it could be right for you.

What Is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a series of clear, removable aligners used as an alternative to braces to straighten teeth. The patient wears a sequence of custom-fitted plastic aligners, each one changed at different stages of treatment. Over time, the aligners gradually move teeth into alignment.

Why Is Invisalign Popular?

Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign requires no brackets or metal. The aligners are custom-fitted, virtually invisible, and can be removed for eating. They are comfortable to wear and are a popular option for adults looking for a more discreet way to straighten their teeth.
