How Invisalign Works to Move Teeth

If you want a straighter smile and healthier teeth and gums, orthodontic treatment may help. Orthodontic treatment involves correcting malocclusion, which is the misalignment of a bite or incorrect spacing between teeth. Here at Advantage Dentistry, we offer Invisalign to our patients so that they can straighten their teeth with comfort and confidence. Invisalign uses a custom-made series of plastic aligners created for you and only you. So how do these plastic aligners actually move your teeth?


The teeth-straightening process will vary from person to person, but the basic idea stays the same. First, one of our doctors will take X-rays, pictures, and impressions of your teeth, and then use that information to create a treatment plan. Through the use of Invisalign’s patented thermoplastic design, Invisalign aligners move your teeth through the appropriate placement of controlled force. The biggest difference is that the aligners not only control the force, but also the timing of the force application. During each stage, only certain teeth are allowed to move. Invisalign allows our patients to straighten their teeth without the stress of tightening brackets and wires. Give us a call if you want to get started, today.
