Invisalign Treatment in Viral Clinic

What is Invisalign Treatment?

Invisalign is a revolutionary orthodontic treatment that uses a series of custom-made, clear aligners to gradually move teeth into their desired positions. Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible, removable, and made from smooth, BPA-free plastic, offering a more discreet and comfortable option for patients of all ages.

The process begins with a consultation where a digital 3D scan or impression of your teeth is taken. Based on this scan, a personalized treatment plan is created, showing the step-by-step transformation of your smile. Patients typically receive a new set of aligners every 1-2 weeks, each set gently shifting the teeth according to the plan.

One of the major benefits of Invisalign is the convenience it offers. Since the aligners are removable, you can eat, drink, brush, and floss without the restrictions associated with traditional braces. However, for the best results, aligners must be worn for 20 to 22 hours per day.

Treatment time with Invisalign varies depending on the complexity of each case, but most patients achieve their desired results in 6 to 18 months. Regular check-ups with your dentist or orthodontist, typically every 6 to 8 weeks, ensure that your progress is on track.

Invisalign can treat a wide range of orthodontic issues, including:

Crowded teeth
Gaps between teeth
Overbite
Underbite
Crossbite
Open bite

Because it offers a blend of aesthetics, comfort, and efficiency, Invisalign is a popular choice for teenagers and adults seeking an alternative to traditional braces.

At our clinic, we offer comprehensive Invisalign consultations to determine if you are a good candidate. Our experienced team will guide you through each step of the journey, helping you achieve the straight, confident smile you’ve always wanted — comfortably and discreetly.
