Invisalign Retainers: The Complete Guide
Invisalign has transformed orthodontics by offering a near-invisible alternative to traditional metal braces. The clear plastic aligners gradually move your teeth into position over a series of weeks or months.
How Invisalign works
- Consultation: Digital impressions and a custom treatment plan.
- Aligner series: A sequence of clear trays, each worn for about two weeks.
- Progress checks: Brief visits every 6 to 8 weeks.
- Retention: A clear retainer locks in your new smile.
Why patients choose Invisalign
- Nearly invisible: Most people will not notice you are wearing them.
- Removable: Take them out to eat, drink, brush, and floss.
- Comfortable: No metal brackets to irritate your cheeks.
- Predictable: Digital planning shows the end result before you start.
- Faster than expected: Many cases finish in 6 to 18 months.
Is it right for you?
Invisalign works for mild to moderate crowding, gaps, overbite, underbite, and crossbite. Severe cases may still need traditional braces or a combination approach. A consultation with Dr. Mohip or Dr. Walters will tell you what fits your situation.
