Invisalign and clear braces

Invisalign straightens teeth with a series of clear, removable aligners, checked in the office as your teeth move, which is the difference from a mail-order kit. Read about Invisalign clear aligners, and if you are also thinking about the shape or colour of your teeth, see porcelain veneers and smile makeovers. Southern York Smile Care is an Elite Invisalign Provider. Before the first aligner is made, a digital scan of your teeth is turned into a ClinCheck plan, which shows how your teeth will move from start to finish, so you see the result before you begin. Aligners are worn about 22 hours a day and changed every week or two, with check-ins in the office along the way. When treatment ends, retainers such as Vivera keep the teeth where they are. The articles here compare Invisalign with other options, explain treatment for teens, and cover when veneers or bonding might be a better fit. Teens can use Invisalign Teen, which has extra aligners in case one is lost and indicators that show how often they are worn.
