Working professionals who are conscious of their appearance may benefit from this orthodontic treatment. You can enjoy almost all your favorite foods while on treatment. It is not easy to chew on hard foods with metal braces and, there is always the possibility of breaking them. The trays are removable when required. Compared with metal braces, there is no discomfort even during the initial stages.

Your dentist will take mouth measurements and prepare customized trays via a dental lab. Patients wear trays that apply gentle force and bring about desired tooth movements. The next set of trays will cause further tooth movements until we see the final results. It may take about six to twelve months to create that perfect smile. A retainer has to be worn at night to ensure the teeth do not relapse. Invisalign is not the ideal treatment for everyone. You may want to seek your dentist's opinion before going for Invisalign treatment. Severe tooth rotations, crowding, and protrusion of the jaws may not see the best results with it.

An attractive smile will not just boost your confidence but add that missing charm to your personality. In a matter of months, you could transform your smile.
