Straightening your smile is easier than ever, thanks to Invisalign, an innovative orthodontic approach that doesn't require wires or 
brackets. Dr. John Lynch, Dr. Frances Lynch and Dr. Sheila Lynch of Lynch Dental Center in Chicago and River Forest, IL, explain how Invisalign works.
A completely wire-free system
Invisalign uses a series of aligner trays to move your teeth, not wires. We custom design each set of trays in our Chicago and River Forest office using X-rays, images and impressions of your mouth. When you place the trays in your mouth, they apply gentle pressure to your teeth, gradually repositioning them.
One of the things people like most about Invisalign aligner trays is their appearance. Made of clear, comfortable plastic, the trays are nearly transparent and fit your teeth perfectly.
Easy care
There are no complicated care routines when you wear Invisalign aligners. You'll take them out while you eat, which means you'll never have to struggle to remove tiny stuck-on pieces of food from your braces. After a meal, you'll rinse the aligners and place them back in your mouth. Oral hygiene is as simple as ever when you wear Invisalign aligners. Once you remove the aligners, you'll floss and brush as usual.
Worried about losing your trays when you take them out to eat at a prom, wedding or other event? Leave them at home! Because you'll only need to wear the trays for 20 hours a day, you can take them out when you attend special events or play sports.
Excellent results
Most people are good candidates for the Invisalign system. If you have a mild to moderate orthodontic issue, such as an overbite, underbite or crossbite, you can probably use the aligners. They're also a good choice if you're concerned about gaps or crowding. Invisalign offers an easy way to correct these and other orthodontic issues and is just as effective as traditional braces for most alignment and bite problems. If you're an adult, you may only need wear the trays for about a year to achieve optimum results.
