What Are Invisalign and How Do They Work?
Invisalign is a recent orthodontic technology that eliminates the need for conventional orthodontic brackets and wires that some people may not be comfortable with esthetically.
Invisalign system consists of a set of clear aligners. Each aligner is worn for around two weeks before being replaced with another one.
Aligners are designed to induce teeth movement in a specific direction throughout the period the aligner is used before moving on to another teeth movement in the subsequent aligner.
The Invisalign aligners are fabricated from a clear plastic material, adding the benefit of being unnoticed by people for a discreet teeth alignment. These aligners are made based on an impression of your teeth, making them comfortable to wear and efficient.
Invisalign The Optimal Orthodontic Technique: Benefits
- Invisalign aligners are fabricated from a clear plastic material, fulfilling most patients’ dream to have orthodontic treatment discreetly.
- Aligners are constructed based on an impression of your teeth which makes them comfortable and less likely to cause friction or irritation to the surrounding soft tissue
- Invisalign aligners are removable devices. So, they are easy to clean and pose no food restrictions as you remove them while eating.
- Decreases the risk of developing tooth decay as you can easily remove them to perform oral hygiene measures.
- Shorter treatment time.
- Produces less pain and discomfort during teeth movement when compared to conventional braces.
Disadvantages of Invisalign
- They are more expensive than conventional orthodontic treatment.
- The results depend on the patient’s compliance with wearing the aligners for the recommended hours daily.
- It may not be suitable for complicated teeth malalignment cases.
Invisalign Vs. Braces
Invisalign and braces are both effective teeth alignment methods, however, they show great differences.
Invisalign is a set of clear aligners. Each is worn for two weeks and then replaced. It provides a fast, effective, discreet, and comfortable treatment solution.
Conventional orthodontic braces include brackets bonding on the teeth surface, then elastic wires and bands are secured to these brackets to initiate the desired teeth movement. Braces provide efficient teeth movement, especially in complicated cases.
Choosing the most suitable treatment solution for you between conventional orthodontic braces and Invisalign may be difficult and governed by several factors. Here is a quick comparison for a better understanding of the differences between both systems.
| Invisalign | Braces | |
| Concept | A set of removable clear aligners changed every two weeks | Involves brackets, wires, and elastic bands attachment on the teeth surface |
| Esthetics | Discreet teeth alignment that may go unnoticed by most people | Most people may not accept the metallic brackets and coloured wires; however, recent ceramic brackets and tooth-coloured wires (6 Months Smile) have been introduced for a better appearance |
| Comfort | More comfortable | Produces more pain during teeth movement |
| Oral hygiene accessibility | They are removable so they provide complete access to oral hygiene of teeth | You may face some difficulty in cleaning the teeth and around the brackets |
| Treatment range | Effective in correcting minor and moderate teeth malalignment in the anterior region | Effective in all teeth malalignment cases including severe cases involving cross-bite and deep bite |
| Treatment duration | Shorter treatment duration | Require a longer treatment time |
| Number of visits | Fewer follow-up visits | Requires frequent visits for wire tightening |
| Cost | More expensive | Accepted cost compared to Invisalign |

Once you begin using your aligners, you can witness the gradual change toward achieving your perfect smile.
Tips for a Smooth Invisalign Treatment Journey
Invisalign aligners are removable devices, they must be worn for a specific number of hours daily for optimal results. The number of wearing hours may vary according to the case, but mostly our experts recommend wearing your aligners for around 20-22 hours even during sleep. In other words, you can only remove them for eating and cleaning.
When you wear your aligner, make sure to fit it over your front teeth first then your back teeth. You can be certain that it fits well when you feel them snuggly covering your teeth without any space between the aligner and the teeth. Make sure to maintain the schedule for aligner replacement as instructed by our experts.
Caring for the aligners is easy:
- Wash the aligners using a soft toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste.
- Take off your aligners while eating, drinking staining drinks such as tea or coffee, and when performing oral hygiene measures.
- Fit the aligner on your teeth using finger pressure and not biting on it to avoid distortion.
- Do not use alcohol, chemicals, alcohol, bleach, or boiling water during cleaning your aligner.
- When not in use, store your aligner in its box to avoid losing it.
If you lose the aligner, wear the previous one until you visit our experts to avoid relapse.

Patients Stories
Invisalign has treated over 5 million people worldwide. That is almost 5 million different Invisalign stories. Here are just some of them.
Mikala’s Invisalign Experience
One of my teeth really stuck out and I was absolutely paranoid about it. It was on my mind when speaking to somebody up close, when photographs were taken – I felt awful and wanted it fixed but I thought I was too grown up for metal braces.
Kirsty’s Invisalign Experience
I wanted to straighten my teeth. I didn’t like that they were crooked and overcrowded. As a result, I didn’t like my smile
Less treatment time.
A typical Invisalign® case takes about six months to a year from start to finish. You’ll see your doctor every 6-8 weeks to see how you’re progressing. Every few visits you’ll be given additional aligners to continue your treatment. Commonly, the number of aligners worn during treatment is between 18 and 30, but treatment time and number of aligners will vary from case to case.
Invisible. And comfortable.
Invisalign® is an invisible solution. So you won’t draw undue attention to your mouth while in treatment. In fact, virtually no one will know you’re wearing them unless you tell them.
Hundreds of thousands of people have already perfected their smile. Maybe it’s time you were one of them.
Dulwich Dental Office offer Invisalign treatment to discreetly straighten teeth with a series of clear aligners.
