To many image is everything, and metal brackets and wires do not sound like the next hottest thing. The good news is that there is an alternative to traditional metal braces, and Drs. Michael Skrobola and Jonathan Schlosser of Bracesetters Orthodontics want to remind you that Invisalign® gives adults a whole new way of wearing braces for a clearly amazing smile!

How does Invisalign work?

Much in the same way as tradition metal braces: gradually shifting each tooth individually until they are perfectly aligned, but with a more modern approach. For instance, Invisalign is designed to be unnoticeable so that adult patients can straighten their teeth discreetly. This also allows patients to be confident about their smile during the teeth straightening process. Moreover, another big benefit for patients is that these clear aligners are removable!

For Invisalign to be the most effective follow these guidelines:

1. Wear each set of aligners for about two weeks
2. Remove the aligners only to eat, drink, brush and floss
3. Wear the aligners for a minimum of 20-22 hours per day
4. Visit Bracesetters Orthodontics every 8-10 weeks for a check-up
5. See your dentist every 6 months for regular cleanings
