Invisalign: how does it work?
Invisalign is a highly esthetic technique that uses semi-transparent aligners to straighten crooked teeth. These templates impart a force on the teeth that gradually changes their position, at a rate of 0.1 mm at a time.
Benefits
Invisalign are made of flexible plastic which is a patented thermoplastic material called Smartrack created exclusively for Invisalign. They are FDA approved and contain no BPA, BPS, latex or gluten. They are thin and clear and fit over your teeth and are not visible.
Here are 5 reasons why clear aligners are often better than fixed braces:
- invisible: it is almost impossible for anyone to notice that you are wearing them;
- removable: the fact that they can be removed to brush teeth allows for easier and more precise oral hygiene;
- less bothersome: they do not irritate the oral mucosa because they do not involve elements such as brackets and wires;
- preview result: before starting the treatment, you can see pictures of what your new smile will look like;
- no urgency: classic braces can have detachments, whereas Invisalign does not.

Questions & Answers
Invisalign: what does it correct?
Clear aligners are effective in solving most problems related to malocclusions, namely:
- Diastemas: presence of a space between teeth;
- Deep bite: when the upper arch teeth overlap too much with the lower arch teeth;
- Open bite: when the front teeth do not touch;
- Dental crowding (crooked teeth): when the arch does not have available space to accommodate all teeth adequately.
Invisalign: when the first results?
The beauty of clear masks is that you can see from week to week the progress your teeth’s appearance is making.
In any case, a treatment generally achieves the expected results after 12-24 months, depending on the complexity of the case.
Does it hurt?
Some patients report experiencing discomfort for the first 2-3 days after each mask change. But it is nothing unbearable and in any case disappears after a few days.
Invisalign can be seen?
Once applied, Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible. Only an attentive observer might notice that your teeth are a little shinier than normal, but to do so would require getting very close to your face.
