Who Can Get Invisalign?
An orthodontist will decide whether the person is suited for Invisalign treatment or not. Usually, they are used to correct mild to moderate crowding in adults and teens.

Invisalign treatment may not replace a fixed appliance, but it can reduce the length of time to wear the less aesthetic fixed appliance.
How Does It work?
First the dentist decides to align the teeth using Invisalign, then after making an accurate impression, a series of custom-fit trays made up of acrylic or transparent plastic material is provided to the patient, which can be removed during eating, brushing and flossing. Each aligner should be worn for two weeks, and then a new aligner is provided to move the teeth into the desired position
Treatment Time
Treatment time depends upon the extent of malocclusion. Usually, 10 to 24 months are required to treat malocclusion; however, in minor cases in which the patient had fixed appliances in the past and is now just correcting slightly shifted teeth, ten weeks may be enough.
