What is Invisalign?
Invisalign or clear aligners are an excellent alternative to conventional braces. They are transparent plastic trays that are worn on the teeth to straighten them. They are also known as clear aligners or invisible braces as they are impossible to notice at a glance. These trays are made out of a medical-grade thermoplastic material and are customized to ensure an accurate fit.
How does Invisalign work?
Invisalign works by moving teeth gradually from their old position to the desired position. Our Invisalign expert will ensure to carry out this transition as a slow and steady process. The teeth movement is carried out by the application of controlled force by the aligners on the surfaces of the teeth. To learn more about how Invisalign works take a look at the steps involved in this treatment procedure:
- Invisalign Expert Consultation– This is the first step in your Invisalign journey. Our Invisalign expert will examine your teeth, discuss your goals, and determine if Invisalign is the right fit for you.
- 3D Digital impression– A 3D scanning is done to record your digital impression. On the basis of the scan, a precise, computer-generated treatment plan is prepared that maps out the gradual movement of your teeth.
- Customized clear aligners– Based on the treatment plan, a series of clear aligners is custom-made specifically for you.
- Each set of aligners is designed to slightly move the position of your teeth, gradually progressing towards the final result.
- Our Umbrella Aesthetics Invisalign expert will advise you to wear each set of aligners for about 1-2 weeks.
- The aligners are easily removable, allowing you to eat, drink, brush, and floss without any restrictions.
- As you progress through the series of aligners, your teeth will gradually shift into the desired position.
- To ensure the treatment is progressing as planned, you will be called for periodic check-ups. In some cases, refinements may be needed for additional adjustments.
- Retainers: The retention phase is an essential phase of your Invisalign journey. Once the desired teeth movement is accomplished, Our Invisalign dentists will ask you to wear post-treatment retainers to maintain the newly achieved alignment.
What are the Benefits of Invisalign?
There is a multitude of benefits that Invisalign have over conventional braces. Listed below are a few of the most important ones:

- You get to Eat your Favorite Food– You can chew on hard crackers or chewing gums. Absolutely no restrictions! Don’t forget to remove your aligners before you have them.
- Your Lips and Cheeks stay Bruise-free– The material of Invisalign is very smooth so there are zero chances of bruises on your inner cheeks or lips. They are extremely comfortable, unlike conventional metal braces in which the metal parts may rub against the cheeks or lips and cause ulcers.
What are the Things to Remember With Invisalign?
To ascertain the success of your Invisalign treatment here are a few things for you to remember:
- Follow the directions and guidelines given by our Invisalign dentists diligently.
- You are supposed to wear your aligners for at least 20 to 22 hours for the best outcome.
- Never eat or drink anything with your aligners on as that may warp the aligners and make it unfit for use.
