How Does Invisalign in Orlando Work?
The first step in your Invisalign treatment is a mold of your mouth so your specialist can create custom-fitted aligners that gradually straighten your teeth. You'll wear each set of clear aligners for approximately two weeks before going on to the next set. You must wear the aligners for approximately 20 to 22 hours a day. The only times you don't wear your aligners are when you eat or drink, brush, or floss your teeth. Each set of clear aligners slowly moves your teeth into their proper position.
