Invisalign San Francisco CA - How Does Invisalign Work?

When most people think of straightening crooked and misaligned teeth, the first thing that comes to mind is braces. The thick and unattractive metal wires and brackets of traditional orthodontics are often associated with children and teenagers – definitely not grown-ups with jobs. But if you are an adult who wants to make your smile look its best, then invisible braces such as Invisalign may be a great solution.

Invisalign is a state-of-the-art technique that straightens and realigns teeth quickly and comfortably with clear plastic trays worn during the day and night. These aligner trays are similar to a retainer. They are created in a series that moves your teeth from their present positions to their final desired alignment. The aligner trays are created using computer technology. You wear each set for about two weeks; then progress to the next set. Each time you switch to new aligners they will feel somewhat tight at first. But be assured that they are gently moving your teeth into the proper position over time. By the time you’ve finished the entire series of trays, you will have the smile that you always wanted – straight and beautiful!

Invisalign braces are perfect for the working professional, the adult that faces clients and customers all day, and the teenager who is looking for a more discreet way to change his or her smile. Because the trays are clear, they are not noticeable. Others probably won’t even realize you are straightening your teeth.

Invisalign is economical compared to traditional metal orthodontics, and can work faster. Unlike conventional braces, you can also eat what you want without restrictions and are able to floss and brush regularly since Invisalign trays may be removed.
