How Invisalign Straightens Teeth
What Clear Aligners Do
Clear aligners are removable appliances designed to move teeth gradually. A sequence of prescribed aligners applies planned forces. Suitability depends on the teeth, gums, bite and movements required. Explore Invisalign® and clear-aligner care →
Planning Begins With Your Teeth and Bite
The clinician reviews your goals and oral health, then considers records such as scans, photographs and indicated imaging. A simulation helps discuss the plan; it does not guarantee a result.
Wearing and Caring for Aligners
Follow the treating clinician’s wear and change schedule. Remove aligners for meals and clean your teeth and aligners as directed. Do not accelerate changes yourself.
Monitoring the Response
Reviews check fit, movement, gums and bite. Additional steps or a revised plan may be needed if movement differs from the prediction.
Retainers Matter
Teeth can shift after active treatment. Discuss a retention plan and attend reviews if a retainer breaks, no longer fits or causes discomfort.
