How effective is invisalign?

It is effective: Most conditions that require orthodontic treatment can be accomplished with invisalign. The length of treatment depends on the complexity of what needs to be done. Not all dentists or orthodontists are comfortable with this mode of care so seek one who is experienced and skilled in this area.

Very effective: With proper case selection and diagnosis, invisalign can be a very effective orthodontic treatment. It does require a high degree of patient cooperation, and usually requires the use of final appliances for long term retention and stability of the dental correction.

Depends: Each case is unique. For the most part it is very effective. I would recommend you visit a dentist or an orthodontist and have an evaluation.

Very: Clear aligner treatments have been demonstrated to be very effective. However, the applicability of this type of orthodontic treatment is dependent upon your individual needs. That necessitates an examination by an orthodontic specialist.

Extremely: Works better and faster as braces in many situations. I stopped using braces in favor of invisalign.

Highly effective: Invisalign has been demonstrated with over 2.5 million cases treated to be a highly effective treatment modality. However, each case is different, and invisalign may require auxiliary treatments(including braces) in extremely complicated cases. An orthodontic specialist with considerable experience with invisalign is the best doctor from whom you should seek an opinion.

Very: Both invisalign & braces can provide you with a beautiful smile and each have their pros and cons. Invisalign will likely cost you more and take longer, but as an adult you may prefer how it looks while you are in treatment. It works by using plastic aligners that gently push your teeth with each tray, when they fit perfectly-- time to change trays so new ones push a bit more

1/2: According to numerous investigations in the hands of qualified Orthodontic Specialists, clear aligners achieve less than 50% improvement! braces over 90%
