Braces work on the principle of slow tooth movement, which means realigning crooked teeth in a manner that allows your tooth structure, teeth roots, and oral tissues to accommodate the shift. Invisalign® clear aligners follow the same principle, but they approach the process much differently. For example, braces utilize brackets and wires to apply the pressure necessary to shift your teeth. By contrast, Invisalign® aligners rely on their innovative, precise designs to guide your teeth in a more comfortable and discreet
Instead of applying gentle pressure through brackets and wires, Invisalign® aligners are designed to gently force your teeth to match their shape. As you progress through the aligners, they continue guiding your teeth until the treatment is complete. The fact that the aligners don’t rely on brackets and wires and can be removed when necessary means they can accomplish their goals of straightening your teeth much more conveniently. As long as you wear your aligners for the prescribed amount of time each day, you can temporarily remove them to make tasks such as eating and cleaning your teeth much simpler.
