Invisalign treatment
**Invisalign treatment** is an orthodontic method that straightens teeth using **clear, removable aligners** instead of metal braces. ### How it works 1. **Consultation** – An orthodontist/dentist evaluates your teeth and bite. 2. **3D scan & plan** – Digital scans are used to map tooth movements. 3. **Custom aligners** – A series of clear trays are made just for you. 4. **Wear schedule** – Each aligner is worn ~**20–22 hours/day**, changed every **1–2 weeks**. 5. **Progress checks** – Periodic visits to monitor movement. 6. **Retention** – After treatment, retainers keep teeth in place. ### What Invisalign can treat * Crooked or crowded teeth * Gaps between teeth * Overbite, underbite, crossbite (mild to moderate; some complex cases too) ### Pros * Nearly **invisible** * **Removable** (easier eating & cleaning) * Usually **more comfortable** than braces * Fewer emergency visits ### Cons * Requires **discipline** (must wear most of the day) * Not ideal for **every severe case** * Can be **more expensive** than braces in some regions ### Treatment time * Typically **6–18 months**, depending on complexity. ### Cost (very rough) * Often similar to braces; varies by country and case complexity. If you want, tell me: * **Adult or teen?** * **Main concern** (crowding, gaps, bite)? * **Country/region** (costs and availability vary) I can tailor the info—or help you decide if Invisalign is right for you.
