If you decide on transparent aligners, then you are at the right place. Transparent aligners have become popular over the past couple of decades as an option for straightening or realigning your teeth.
Invisalign is a form of braces that use clear tray aligners. The clear aligners are made of a blend of plastic and manufactured based on molds of your mouth. These transparent aligners are solid pieces of plastic that are strong enough to pressure specific parts of your teeth to move them into a better position slowly.
Invisalign uses many aligner trays that should be replaced every one to two weeks. Each aligner tray will feel slightly different, as it’s designed to continue shifting and moving your teeth. You need to wear Invisalign trays for 20–22 hours/day to see results. These aligner trays can easily be removed for eating, brushing, flossing, or special occasions.
Invisalign aligners are braces, not retainers because they actively move your teeth to shape your mouth and jaw. Retainers, hold your teeth in place.
