What Is the Success Rate of Invisalign?
If you want straighter teeth but you don’t want metal braces crowding your smile, Invisalign could be right for you. Invisalign are clear plastic aligner trays that slowly shift your teeth into proper alignment. They are virtually invisible, so you can get straighter teeth without feeling self-conscious about your smile.
Invisalign is extremely effective at correcting misaligned teeth thanks to their customizability, Invisalign technology, and close collaboration with certified Invisalign orthodontists. Invisalign has a 96% success rate. This means that 96% of Invisalign patients who complete treatment are completely satisfied with their results.
How Does Invisalign Work?
If you are considering Invisalign, you will first have a consultation with a certified Invisalign orthodontist. They will examine your teeth and jaw to determine if you are an ideal candidate for Invisalign.
Next, if your orthodontist determines that Invisalign is right for you, they will take a digital scan of your teeth and jaw using advanced 3D technology. Using the scan, your orthodontist will create a map of your misaligned teeth. This map will be used to make a series of custom aligners specifically designed to reposition each of your teeth. These aligners are fabricated using computer-aided design (CAD) technology. This technology makes it possible for the aligners to precisely shift each tooth.
Invisalign also uses Smartforce Technology, which are small, tooth-colored shapes that are attached to your teeth before or during your Invisalign treatment. They are like handles that give your aligners something to push on, so they apply the right amount of force in the right direction. Each set of aligners are worn for about two weeks before being replaced by the next one in the series. The aligners shift your teeth very slowly to correct a range of issues, like spacing, crowding, underbite, overbite, and more.
