It is used in orthodontics for most adults who suffer from misaligned teeth.
The material used is a rust-resistant metal in the form of a small bracket that is fixed to the surfaces of the teeth whose alignment is to be corrected using a type of adhesive, then these brackets are connected using a thin metal wire.
Your treatment with Invisalign consists of a series of clear (invisible and removable) aligners that you change every two weeks with the following size aligners. Each aligner is custom-made and individualized for your teeth, and your teeth only.
As you replace the aligner, your teeth move little by little, week by week, until they are aligned straight and aligned to the final position prescribed by your orthodontist.
Made entirely of clear plastic, they perfectly match the internal structure of the patient’s mouth, so they are custom-made for the patient to match the shape of their mouth and the alignment of their teeth.
After the braces have successfully corrected the shape of the teeth as planned, the brackets, metal wires and braces are completely removed, and then a device is installed that maintains the shape of the teeth to ensure that they do not move again and return to what they were.
This device remains fixed until the jaw bones reshape themselves around the new position of the teeth to maintain the new alignment of the teeth.
