The Invisalign Clear Braces Process In Grand Rapids

how does Invisalign work in Comstock ParkYou may be wondering, “How does Invisalign® treatment work when you can’t even see it?”

With traditional metal braces, your teeth are aligned using brackets and wires that are gradually tightened during the course of the teeth straightening treatment. Invisalign® clear braces do not require any brackets or wires and can achieve the exact same results as traditional braces by using aligner trays.

How Do Invisalign® Clear Braces Work?

During your first visit to our Grand Rapids practice in Comstock Park after deciding that Invisalign® treatment is right for you, our caring team will then take x-rays, impressions, and pictures of your mouth.

From these x-rays and pictures, a 3D model simulation will be created, allowing you to see exactly how your teeth will move during each stage of treatment. The average treatment plan will take between 12-18 months, depending on your needs.

Once the treatment plan has been developed, your custom set of aligner trays will be created. Each aligner tray is made of smooth, comfortable material. You will wear your aligner trays for two weeks at a time, before switching them out for the next set.
