Invisalign is a system of clear, removable aligners used to move teeth gradually. It can be used for a range of orthodontic problems, though not all cases are suitable and some require braces or referral to a specialist orthodontist. Treatment relies on wearing the aligners for 20–22 hours a day; treatment time varies and retainers are required indefinitely afterwards to hold the result. Your dentist will assess your suitability at a consultation and explain the risks, limitations, costs and alternatives.
Invisalign may be used for crowding, spacing, some bite problems and relapse after earlier orthodontic treatment. Whether it suits your case is decided at an assessment.
