What Are Invisalign Aligners?

Invisalign in Mesa, AZ, is the brand name of a popular dental aligner. They are clear plastic dental aligner trays. They’re custom-crafted and removable. They are used to gently and gradually straighten your teeth. Unlike traditional dental correction appliances, Invisalign doesn’t use metal brackets or wires to straighten your teeth.

How Do Invisalign Dental Aligners Work?

Your dentist will take a 3D impression of your mouth. They will then use those impressions to make a series of plastic trays (Invisalign aligners). Those trays will be used in a specific sequence to gradually move your teeth into their desired position. The entire process, from start to finish, usually takes around 6 to 12 months.

The Invisalign aligners work by applying a gently controlled force to the different parts of your teeth at different intervals throughout your treatment. So, in other words, each new set of aligners you wear will straighten your teeth a little more. This is repeated until your teeth are straight.
