Invisalign is a discreet orthodontic option for adults that uses a series of custom-made clear aligners, produced from a digital scan, to gradually align the teeth. Treatment typically takes 6-18 months depending on the case.
- 01Invisalign moves teeth toward their target position using custom clear aligners changed every two weeks, with treatment lasting 6-18 months depending on the case.
- 02The clear tray is hard to notice in daily life and comes out for eating and brushing; what really governs visibility is the number and position of the attachments bonded to the teeth (in eye-tracking, a smile with anterior attachments held the gaze 0.74 s per visit against 0.61 s for the aligner with minimal attachments).
- 03It suits mild-to-moderate crowding, bite irregularities, diastema (gaps), and orthodontic relapse cases.
- 04Planned movement is achieved at a mean accuracy of 50% across all teeth and 46% for rotation (PubMed 32620479); severe malocclusion (Class III), large rotations and cases requiring jaw surgery are planned with classic brackets or an orthognathic approach.
The adult-orthodontics taboo is the largest dental misconception broken over the past two decades. "Won't it show?", "I'm too old", "How will I look in meetings?". Clear-aligner technology answered all of them.
How Invisalign works: a series of aligners, custom-made from a digital scan of your teeth. Each aligner moves teeth small distances towards a target position. You change to the next aligner every two weeks. Treatment time: 6-18 months, depending on the case.
Is invisibility real? Almost. The aligners are transparent and reflect light like natural teeth. They can be noticed under close inspection but are hard to detect in a business meeting or a photo published on social media. Removed for eating and brushing.
Who is it for? Mild-to-moderate crowding, bite irregularities, diastema (gaps), orthodontic relapse cases. Who is it not for? Severe malocclusion (Class III), large rotations, cases requiring jaw surgery. These require classic brackets or an orthognathic approach.
Over two thousand Invisalign cases have been completed at Mosdent. It is the most-chosen orthodontic option for our adult guests.
