Invisalign uses a series of custom aligners to move your teeth.\u00a0 Each aligner has a specific prescription which is designed by a certified Invisalign specialist\u00a0 like Dr. Fotovat, to move the teeth in a systematic and controlled manner.\u00a0 Each aligner is worn for about two to three weeks before you go to the next set of aligners.\u00a0 Each aligner moves your teeth a little at a time, and as the weeks pass, you see the teeth straightening.\u00a0 The total number of aligners is specific to your individual case and amount of tooth movement required.\u00a0 Dr. Fotovat monitors the progress of your teeth and sees you approximately every 8 weeks.\u00a0 You will be shown how to wear and remove the aligners and to make sure that the aligners are tracking properly.\u00a0 You can be involved with the progress of your teeth by requesting to view the \u00a0\u00a0“Clin-check” computer program which will simulate \u00a0how your teeth should be moving at each stage of your Invisalign treatment process.<\/p>\n

What are some of the benefits of Invisalign?<\/h2>\n

One of the most obvious benefits of Invisalign is that it is totally clear and virtually invisible.\u00a0 This feature is especially attractive for people who are aesthetically conscious and want to improve the look of their smile without having to wear braces.\u00a0 The clear, custom fit aligners are thin and comfortable to wear so that it takes little to no time for your lips, and cheeks to get used to having them in your mouth. Speech is not affected when you are wearing them.\u00a0 Because they are removable, you can eat and drink anything you want and your brushing and flossing is the same as usual.\u00a0 It is also easy to keep your teeth cleaner than with braces, because the aligners are removable and that means less areas where plaque can accumulate.<\/p>\n
