What Is Invisalign and How Does It Work?
Invisalign is a modern, clear aligner system designed to straighten teeth without the use of metal brackets or wires. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, removable aligners that gradually shift your teeth into their ideal position. At Smiles of Niles Family Dental, we offer Invisalign in Niles, IL, as a comfortable and discreet orthodontic solution for teens and adults looking to improve their smile.
How Invisalign Works
1. Initial Consultation
Our Niles, IL dental team will assess your teeth and discuss your smile goals to determine if Invisalign is right for you.
2. Custom Treatment Plan
Using advanced 3D imaging, we create a personalized plan, mapping out how your teeth will shift over time.
3. Series of Clear Aligners
You’ll receive a set of custom aligners, each designed to move your teeth slightly with gentle pressure.
4. Wear Aligners Daily
Aligners should be worn for 20-22 hours per day, only removing them for eating, drinking, and cleaning.
5. Progression to New Aligners
Every 1-2 weeks, you switch to a new set of aligners, gradually moving your teeth into alignment.
6. Final Results
Once your treatment is complete, you’ll have a beautifully straight smile, with the option of retainers to maintain your results.
