How does the Invisalign® process work?

Invisalign® vs. braces - what's the difference?
The experience of wearing Invisalign® vs. traditional braces is like night and day. Here are five things to think about as you make your decision.
Appearance: Invisalign® is virtually invisible, while metal braces can’t be missed.
Comfort: There are no brackets or wires with Invisalign®, making it more comfortable to wear compared to traditional metal braces, which have been known to cause injuries.Cleaning: Invisalign® aligners are removable, making it easier to clean your teeth and maintain good oral hygiene. Traditional metal braces collect food particles leading, to tooth decay.
Eating: Invisalign® allows you to remove the aligners before meals, so you don’t have the food restrictions that come with metal braces.
Treatment time: Invisalign® treatment typically takes less time than traditional metal braces. On average, Invisalign® treatment takes 12-18 months, while traditional braces can take up to 3 years.Overall, Invisalign® is a more comfortable, convenient, and visually pleasing option for straightening teeth than traditional metal braces.
