Your desire to improve your smile doesn't have to be shared with the whole world. Invisalign, an innovative clear brace system, allows 
you to straighten your teeth discreetly. Augusta and Evans, Georgia dentists Dr. Scott Wingard and Dr. Caleb Morris explain how Invisalign works.
Straighter teeth, no wires
There's no hiding the fact that you're straightening your teeth when you wear wire or ceramic braces. Unlike traditional teeth straightening methods, Invisalign is wire-free. A series of aligner trays gently changes the position of your teeth with the Invisalign system. You'll wear the trays for two weeks at a time before using a new set. Approximately every six weeks, you'll visit the Evans or Augusta office for follow-up appointments.
The less obtrusive option
Because Invisalign aligner trays are clear, wires won't be the first thing people notice when you smile. The aligner trays are custom-fitted to your teeth and designed to be virtually unnoticeable.
Designed to fit your lifestyle
Wearing Invisalign trays is far less complicated than dealing with traditional braces. Invisalign offers:
- Convenience: Invisalign aligners should be worn for 22 hours per day, which means you can take them out when it's just not convenient to wear your trays. Do you play sports? Remove your trays and wear a mouthguard during your game or practice. Once the activity is over, simply reinsert your aligners.
- Comfort: Invisalign aligner trays are constructed with soft plastic to make straightening your teeth a much more comfortable experience.
- Easy Care: You'll rinse the aligners before and after you eat and use the Invisalign cleaning crystals to remove plaque. Since there are no wires or brackets to avoid, brushing and flossing is just as easy as ever.
- No Food Restrictions: Your friends who wear traditional braces must commit to avoiding foods that can break their wires. Hard, crunchy foods and foods that get stuck in the wires or brackets, such as chewing gum and popcorn, must be avoided. You won't have these limitations since you'll remove the trays when you eat.
