Invisalign aligners are made of thin, clear plastic. The aligners are uniquely created for each patient at an off-site Invisalign lab. Your treatment plan will consist of a series of aligners designed to gradually shift your teeth into proper alignment. Every two weeks, you’ll discard your current aligner and move to the next. Unlike traditional braces, you will have the freedom to remove your aligners whenever you want. Simply take them off for brushing and flossing, when eating, or for special events. However, expect to wear the aligners for 20-22 hours a day, to stay on track with your treatment plan. 

Many patients report forgetting that they are wearing aligners, because they are comfortable and unnoticeable. You will not have to endure poking metal wires and brackets or painful rubber bands. Even better, you will not have adjustments that cause a sore mouth for days.
