Invisalign treatment at Gottsegen Orthodontics: How, exactly, does it work? [Video]

We talked a bit about Invisalign a bit in a July post, and thought we'd share with you a helpful video that walks you through the process of Invisalign a bit "clearer."

The Invisalign system at Gottsegen Orthodontics is a state-of-the-art system of clear, removable aligners that we proudly offer at our offices in New Orleans and Metairie.

Here's how it works: You wear each set of aligners for about two weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. As you replace each aligner with the next in the series, your teeth will move — little by little, week by week — until they have straightened to the final position Dr. Gottsegen has prescribed. You'll visit our office about once every 6 weeks (on average) to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned. Total treatment time averages 9-15 months and the average number of aligners worn during treatment is between 18 and 30, but both will vary from case to case.

If you've been wanting to straighten your teeth but are unsure about going through traditional orthodontic treatment, please give us a call to learn if Invisalign is the right option for you!

Enjoy the rest of the week everybody!
