How do Invisalign Aligners effectively move teeth?
Like brackets and arch wires, Invisalign Aligners move teeth through the appropriate placement of controlled force on the teeth. The principal difference is that Invisalign® not only controls forces, but also controls the timing of the force application. At each stage, only certain teeth are allowed to move, and these movements are determined by the orthodontic treatment plan for that particular stage. This results in an efficient force delivery system. Q: What is the minimum age of a patient that a doctor can treat with Invisalign? A: Doctors can use Invisalign to treat a vast majority of patients with fully-erupted molars. For more information on Invisalign Aligners, please visit www.invisalign.com.
