For years, the only available treatment in addressing problems with crooked or uneven teeth is through traditional braces. These conventional braces make use of brackets that are connected by wires, allowing the teeth to move gradually into their proper positions. However, some people refuse to have their teeth be placed with metal braces as they find it very discomforting. They would rather choose to leave their crooked or uneven teeth untouched than having to wear metal braces for years.
Fortunately, several alternatives have now emerged developed by different brands, providing people with a variety of options to choose from. Invisalign is gaining popularity as an excellent alternative to metal braces.
Invisalign is a series of clear, removable aligners made of flexible plastic that is designed to gradually straighten the teeth without the need to use those uncomfortable metal attachments. Each aligner is worn over the teeth for two weeks before being replaced by the next in the series. The continuous usage of Invisalign aligners helps in correcting the misalignment of the teeth by moving them little-by-little towards the projected final position.

Invisalign treatment gradually moves the teeth by applying gentle, constant force. Some people may experience temporary discomfort for the first few days of wearing a new set of aligners.
