Invisalign - How does it work?

Have you ever been around a person or group of people who are excited about a product or service they are currently using and that is all they want to talk about (and post about on social media)?  As their success with the product increases, so do the photos they post and share.  Sometimes it drives me crazy but sometimes it stirs in me a curiosity to check out what they are so excited about.

Maybe Invisalign is like that for you.  Many adults, who often had orthodontic treatment as a teen but never wore their retainers, are looking into options to straighten their now less than perfect smile.  Invisalign has become by far the most popular option for adults as well as teenagers. 

Let me give you some basic information about Invisalign, how it works and why it is such a great orthodontic option. 

Invisalign - what is it:
Invisalign is a modern approach to straighten teeth using a custom-made series of aligners created for you and only you.  These aligner trays are made of smooth, comfortable and virtually invisible plastic that you wear over your teeth. 
Invisalign - how does it work:
Wearing the aligners will gradually and gently shift your teeth into place, based on the exact movements your orthodontist plans out for you.  

There are no metal brackets to attach and no wires to tighten.  You just pop in a new set of aligners approximately every week, until your treatment is complete. 

Inivsalign - why is it such a great option:
 You will achieve a great smile with little interference in your daily life.  The best part about the whole process is that most people won't even know you're straightening your teeth.
